    I hated him. No character development, same asshole from start to finish. Whenever I had to do Trevor missions I often walked away from the game for the day, resulting in taking many months to actually finish the kind of game I usually enjoy.

    Franklin was boring too, sterotype with no strong opinions on much - just went with the flow on everything. The only character I kind of enjoyed playing was Michael, and that’s because he was aware that he was a piece of shit and decided to try to change. His approach to mending his relationship with his family was terrible and often put them in riskier/worse situations, but hey it’s GTA it’s not meant to be entirely realistic.

    I remember being a lot more invested in GTA4 and thoroughly enjoyed that narrative, but maybe it’s rose tinted glasses?

    I hugely enjoyed playing as him when the game first came out and I was still an edgy teen. Now I think his shtick gets old quite quick but in a way he’s a good representation of what GTA is about in general.

    He would’ve been an amazing side character but he’s my least favorite main character

    I have an uncomfortable love hate for the guy. First thing I always have to do is change his fucking cloths and get a haircut…

    he is by far the most realistic character though. Crazy meth head and trailer park trash. I have been around a few people that were high as fuck on meth and they acted just like him. Thankfully they didn’t have access to guns.

    one of my favourite conversations in the game is about how he’s not just crazy, he’s carefully choosing how he’s perceived. and he gets real titchy when michael confronts him about that fact.

    there’s more to the guy than first appears.
