Trevor phillips

can somebody please explain to me why people hated this character? i thought he was hilarious. he's the best protag in the game, maybe even GTA history.

People hated him because he's gay, OP. I know it's sad, but it was a fact of life back in 2013.

i guess the world just isn't ready for LGBT characters in video games

This fucking thread

>LOL SO RANDOM XD

What? Really? I never noticed... I guess we're not ready for gay characters

It's so sad that homophobes buried such a nuanced, brilliantly-written character under an avalanche of hate

Look, I'm just not ready for LGBTQ+ protagonists. Maybe if you gave me a ten minute warning or something, I could prepare. But this is too much.

>best prog of GTA

it is CJ.

>best character of Gta 5

it is pic related

lamar isn't a protag you nigger lover!

>protag

i said the best character of GTA

>niggerlover

no. pretty right wing but Lamar was based and funny

Because i didn't know that Franklin would survive regardless. It became a thing of ethics and this nigga was the worst out of the bunch.

But I literally can't name a worse protagonist than CJ other than Claude.

he's the only GTA protagonist who is still in-character even when he does the maniacal shit the player makes him do

>can't name a worse protagonist than CJ

Niko
Franklin
Claude as you said

Wow, a loledgy meth-addled white trash burnout. No wonder Neo-Sup Forums defends him.

both very true statements

Niko is better

Franklin... is he even considered a protagonist? He barely existed

>>best prog of GTA
>it is CJ.

Tommy>CJ>Niko>Claude

Oh wow a cold, mysterious, silent guy. what a compelling character.

are characters not allowed be psychotic anymore? do you think tommy vercetti is edgy too?

>Worse protagonist
>Niko

Read the posts you're quoting again nigga

Nevermind, sorry my nigger.

I like the way GTA 5 protagonists actually had some character. Trevor was fucked in the head, but loyal.

Michael was a piece of shit.

Niko is the best GTA protag

You set Trevor up with a good woman and not a basic bitch he mellows out quite a bit.

Michael was like a less aggressive Tony Soprano.

>GTA 5 protagonists actually had some character

I don't think making your characters be ironic all the fucking time is good writing.

>Franklin makes us multicultural, Lester makes it cyber, we just get ourselves a gay friend and we're all set!
T wasn't gay, just Canadian

>Michael was a piece of shit.
He knew, though.

All gta protagonists are basically retards

>Been killing dozens of armed people each mission, no problem
>Under the thumb of some asshole who keeps threatening them
>Get to the last mission of game, character comes to a revelation
>"Oh right, we could just kill said asshole" just like we've been doing to everyone else

he talks about fucking men all the time. hell, the first cutscene we see him in he asks johnny to take off his pants

>I don't think making your characters be ironic all the fucking time is good writing.
Good thing the characters of GTA V weren't ironic all the fucking time at all then

T was all right, but Niko's still my favorite protag tho.

He killed the only jew character i ever liked.

...asfter fucking his woman

It's called being bisexual user
or in Trevor's case, "sticking it in every possible hole"

Reminder that he fucked a teddy bear

Yes they were.

Tommy>Niko>Luis>CJ>Johnny>Michael>Tony>Vic>Trevor>Franklin

Michael sold Trevor out because of his family.

Trevor is loyal, sure. But he can blow up at any moment.

>Reminder that he fucked a teddy bear
Yeah only a sick bastard would do something like that, y-yeah.

in a game where some view the objective as to cause as much damage and death until they themselves are killed. you're a special kind of stupid aren't you?
GTA isn't meant to be groundbreaking, it's been a chaotic sandbox since it's fucking inception.

Why the fuck do people keep spouting this shit opinion? Why do you like this guy? Is it ironic?

Why does anyone like any character from 5, in fact? They're all really bland, annoying and forgettable.

what about claude?

>tfw we'll never have a DLC of the trio on a robbing spree in Las Venturas

Micheal sold everyone else out because he is a selfish prick with no one but himself in mind.
he's just as unstable as trevor but in different ways, there's no way to say he did it because trevor is crazy without being a hypocrite.

>forgettable
I'll never forget.

As much as I like Claude I never include him because I don't feel he develops well. He's just a silent psychopath out for revenge, we never get to really know him

Tommy can't do it sooner because he's against a mafia boss, he needs to build an empire himself before, you know

Niko has nobody actually threatening him, he can leave Liberty City any day for all his bosses care (the police officer would be mad but he isn't actually relevant), he's just in deep shit for may different reasons

Trevor is doing it for the money and his friend, once he know his friend is dead he go nuts and indeed kill the government people
Franklyn has nobody to kill
And Michael can't just kill a mafia boss

Is your greentext valid for a single GTA game at least?

It's pretty damn clear through the whole game that he actually cares and did it for his family.

He's not the best ever. The best ever is still CJ.

However, I did think the characters in GTA 5 were the most 'real.' The had real life problems that relate to the current world. CJ's problems weren't relative to the time.

He's batshit insane. He's a walking meme. He's hipster and a literal faggot. He's got mommy issues. He's over aggressive and uses violence to solve all his problems.


He's the best character in concept. The problem is he was TOO much of everything. They couldn't commit to making a full on fag so instead he just fucks anything that moves. He is raging psycho but he's way too loyal and his loyalty is what fucks him over. He's too much of this and too much of that at the same time. They needed to commit to SOMETHING. Instead he's a moral compass that rapidly spinning at all times and it's just stupid.

Micheal was a great character. He's a prick. He'll always be a prick. He pretends to be in control but he's not. He's not too much of anything and just the right amount of prick.

Frank, is an idiot. He's too worried about what his homies think of him while desperately trying to get away from them. He's an OK character but like Trevor he's too much of too many things. He's a thug but he's trying to be legit. He loves this one girl but fucks bitches any chance he gets. Just pick a fucking side. Be a ain't shit nigga or do something with yourself.

While I absolutely disagree with him being the best I'm glad they made a psychopath who would believably act and do the things a GTA protagonist would do.

Honestly I'm glad they did the three piece thing because none of them could've carried the game on their own without getting unbearably stale

yee yee ass haircut nigga detected

The protagonist is very clearly Michael, but I also liked him. Franklin was kinda meh. Most of the absolute disdain for this game usually comes from people with a shitty computer who are stuck playing 4.

he tortured a guy

then let him go

Hes hilarious to the same people who were looking foward to this

well if you like him then where does he rank on there?

>Franklyn is ironic with his nigger friends and his colleagues
>Michael is often ironic with Trevor
>the FIB guy is a smug smartass douche

>so literally every character in the game is ironic all the fucking time

I would be okay with a gta online expansion where michael/franklin become mission givers

franklins shit could be taking back grove street, michaels could use that casino they never did anything with

>tfw rockstar focused too much in Online instead of singleplayer
fuck man, I just wanted to see more of San Andreas

Somewhere between Johnny and Trevor

because its not eagy like sam hyde

DUDE SHITTY HUMOR LMAO

>The best ever is still CJ.

>one day Minecraft kids will replace the overwhelming majority of PS2 kids shitting videogame websites up
I can't tell how I feel about this

For me, it is Trevor Phillips. Intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humour.

the worst part about lamar is that people like him are actually fairly common. fuck him.

The problem with parroting Sup Forums opinions is that you don't actually get to comprehend them

Much like a parrot

I liked him, he was believable psychotic and genuinely terrifying

what do you guys think will be the next city of GTA 6? I think either Vice City or a new one like Chicago

I love black Jesus

He constantly murders and tortures people with no remorse, and then has the audacity to criticize Michael for betraying him in North Yankton. There's also the fact that he steals from and fights with a private mercenary group, which would've resulted in him being killed by them if the violence had escalated.

San Andreas again. Just another part of it.

Modern day Vice City

>Trevor is Negan's lackey on TWD
It makes perfect sense

Claude was basically The Driver just went from a few lines to no lines.

I can't believe people unironically like Lamar. He's literally a retarded nigga with an IQ of 70. He was by far the worst character in the game.

That's why he's so great. He's unintentionally hilarious.

Lamar clearly wants to be the GTA protagonist of V, but Franklin and the producers of the game won't let him. He's also stupid and impulsive in a believable way.

San Fierro? if yes I hope they bring the blind chink back
