I'm not obsessed by the appearance

Well that's obviously not true seeing how your two main gripes with Tommy is the shirt he wears and that you claim he is fat.

I also said he was stone cold hard. The image of a character is a major part of them, you can't avoid it. When you think of Claude you think of the black jacket and the green trousers (pants if you're American), CJ it's the white tank top and baggy jeans. I don't see what's wrong with wanting to talk about his clothes, especially if I think it's 1 of the big problems with him.

I'll agree that the character image is important to a certain extent but so far you seem to be hung up entirely on the appearance. You say he's stone cold hard but you don't like him anyway because you think he's wearing the wrong outfit.

 

We could argue this all day, but I don't see the point. If you don't like his shirt, fine, but I reject that as a legitimate reason to dislike the character and pretty much everything else you've said for that matter.

It's not that I don't like Tommy, I do. But I don't love him like the other GTA protagonists. I don't know why but I didn't feel a good connection with him. The outfit/appearance is just a small thing on the face of it, but it's what defines Tommy in a lot of ways. My posts about the hawaiian shirt were said tongue in cheek, of course I don't dislike him only because of the shirt. And a lot of the things I said weren't serious, "hawaiian shirts are for big fat party animals" etc. It's called a sense of humour dude, try it out sometime.

So we're not allowed to like Tommy Vercetti all of a sudden? I can't stand for you disrespecting him. COME AT ME, BRO!!!

Yaeh, I had the same thing with Carl, still BTW.

 

Anyway, I think Because Tommy was the first protagonist of GTA who actually talked, and he had alot of humorus things to say. Like his voice you hear after a few cutscenes, he actually says in one that he liked his Hawaii shirt!! Not to mention he was the only one with Diaz who insults everyone... In Gta SA: everybody is insulting everybody, then you are used to it...

Certain characters can pull off the Hawaiian Shirt, including Tommy, but there's another great example of modern day use:

I actually got Jimmy into a Hawaiian shirt as soon as possible in Bully, but hey, thats just me.

If its really that big of a deal, why not just wear another shirt?

VC was the first GTA I played, so Tommy the first character. Now every time a new GTA character comes along I always compare them to Vercetti. And so far none have quite come up to his high standard of do-whatever-i-like mayhem.

 

I liked the Hawaiian shirt. Only someone like Vercetti could wear a shirt like that and remain bad-ass - I thought that was the point of it being his default outfit smile.gif

 

Personally I liked his black/white 80s tracksuit. So cheesy but he still managed to look like some rock-hard psycho in it. The only other character I saw pull that off was Eric in Season 2 of True Blood.

Pretty sure Niko has the highest legitimate kill count of any protagonist in GTA history.

Hawiian shirts are for big fat party animals, not some bad ass mobster guy.
