Problems with an old protagonist

He totally looks like a gangster, he kind of reminds me of Robert De Niro in the movie Heat. I'd love if was that kind of character.

Yeah, actually yes.. he's a case of doubt biggrin.gif

I really hope he's the character, all the kids wants a young character but older players loves these kind of characters

I don't have a problem with an old man but I don't think that rahkstar2.gif is going to have protag that runs slowly

Johnny ran pretty slow, but that was because he wrecked his bike on the freeway at one point.

I don't think that this is going to be a major problem. Someone in their 40s who keeps themselves in good shape would have no problems, stamina related.

CJ was a niger,

Um

I laughed when I read that. I've read that word so much on the internet that it barley stands out anymore. I'll bet that it's just a language barrier thing.

Could be used as a way to get rid of witnesses if V has them, like RDR.

 

EDIT: Wrong. f*cking. Topic.

 

I apologize for my stupidity.

I'm 26 yrs old, the thing is I want someone closer to my own age 20-30 something because it is more relatable.

I have no idea why a 40-50 yr old hasn't just settled down and got his act together, seems like a very sad man indeed. 

 

 

A very sad man that will bring a more deeper background story, and a new point of view IMO.

People... this is R* that we are talking about, they are the best.

Johnny wasn't very young, he ran relatively slowly and it didn't bother me at all in TLAD. Besides in the trailer, you can see the "old" guy during the robbery, he doesn't seem slow when he kicks the door.

 

Now about the bicycles, it's a kid's vehicle, so no matter if the protag is 20 or 40 he'll still look stupid on it. And who wants to ride bicycles (with no radio so no music) when you have motorbikes available in the game that are faster, more enjoyable to drive and allow you to listen to some music? Good thing San Andreas only made us ride bikes twice in the whole storyline.

 

 

And if you remember some of the movies you've watched or games you've played, you'll find that middle aged men usually make good main characters in action movies/games, because having been through a lot in the crime business, they tend to have less remorse and be very violent when in action.

 

So, I'd really like playing as the middle-aged dude from the trailer.

Whan have bikes been a kid's thing people use them everyday

Because they can't afford better. But in GTA, you have access to every vehicle you want. So I ask again : who wants to drive a bicycle when they can have a motorbike which is faster, more enjoyable to drive, looks better and even more importantly has a radio that allows you to listen to the soundtrack which is always awesome in GTA? Fortunaltely in San Andreas, after the second mission of the game, you are no longer required to drive bicycles. I hope they keep it that way in V.

Don't see the protagonist liek you see him in the trailer.

If you see him in the trailer. Yeah he's a clean man.

But he's probaly an icecold killer with conections and friends, mafia is the right word.

I love the character because he's not a little gangster like all the other GTA characters but he's a real mafiosa/gangster

For all you Tommy Vercetti fans if he was the new protag he would be about 60 years old. He is not the protag and it wouldn't really make a differance about the protags age.

Yeah.

 

Everyone is bitchin about his age... If it was announced to be Tommy nobody would give a sh*t about his age anymore, its stupid.

Yeah, but the fact is that Tommy is not going to be the new protagonist. To anyone who still believes he is, is a fool.

 

As for the age, alot of badasses are in their 50's. Like Bruce Willis, Jackie Chan, Michael Madsen ect. Hell even Johnny Depp is nearing his 50's!

 

I believe Ned Luke is 53, so I think this could work! 50 is the new 30.

Yeah!

 

Even so, if I didn't know either age of Ned or Niko, I'd pretty much put them in the same age category. Niko looked a lot older than he was.

Niko was 29-30. His beaten down look made sense since he fought a war in the early years of his life. Something like that would age you greatly and make you look older. At the same time Ned Luke doesn't look 53 , he looks about 40.

He is 53 though. I just checked. But him looking 40 means he's just healthy.

Of course they can change his characters age to anything and make him look younger too, compared to his real life actor.

I was trying to say he looks good for 53.

I agree with this brother, Ned Luke looks way younger than 53. He has taken a very good care of himself, I don't think his character will be anything more than 40yo.

He's not hooked up to a respirator, people and he's capable of moving around without breaking his hip. I'm assuming he's divorced too so hookers shouldn't really be a problem.

Yeah he may be 53 in real life, but in game I'm sure he'll be about 40 or so, give or take a few years.

 

Which is a good age for a protag in my opinion.

I think it's funny how people are judging this guy on the little bit of gray hair he has.

I know right, it's sad.

 

Take Mark Harmon who plays Gibbs on NCIS, he has a load of grey hair, still a bad ass.

 

Or Bruce Campbell, also older and bad ass.

ummm.. You do know I was joking you twat. I actually would enjoy an older protagonist(since it would add something new), I was just poking fun at people who were complaining about an older protagonist.

 

You really just made yourself look like a idiot by going through my profile for no reason.

this also supports the theory of multiple protagonists because you might be able to play as the younger guy aswell who would look better on a bike

Exactly. This, or the old guy is not the protagonist.

Don't be Daft... I'm over 40 and I happened to grow up loving BMX, if you're like me, this was before GTA and we still have a fondness for BMX, Live to Ride, Ride to Live!! It's not that unusual
