Why so much hate on Ned Luke?

Why so many of you guys hate Ned Luke for being "an old fart"?

He's not that old really. I think he's just a bit older than Max Payne.

And nobody seems to dislike Max for his age.

 

I think he might be a very great character.

What? Nobody hates ned luke, people just don't like his character. I still don't think it's ned luke's voice because i'm pretty sure he isn't spanish.

Uhh... We don't actually know anything about the protagonist yet.

This

EDIT; meaning to say that hopefully Ned Luke isn't the protagonist.

People get touchy about the idea of a possible protag having grey hair. I don't know why, but people have issues about the smallest details.

 

It's no surprise we do not get anything nice.

a middleaged protag would suit the fan base. many gta fans have been playing the series since the 90's. many will be middle aged themselves. a mature teen who played gta iii when it came out will be knocking 30yrs old now.

 

r* are thinking of the fans. cool.gif

Exactly. Rockstar said they wanted to make age-appropiate games. They said they know their fanbase is getting older as are they so that will be reflected in the games.

 

I like middle-aged but then again middle-aged guys can be brilliant. You guys have seen Goodfellas, Casino, The Sopranos? Loads of middle-aged crazy feckers in those films.

Because according to HydraulicWariOr:

 

"We'll be hooked up to a dialysis machine the entire game"

If he turns out to be the protagonist, I'll be happy with it. It would be a nice change of pace for the series and would open up some new avenues of storytelling, then again everyone would complain it's not like San Andreas, heaven forbid we actually have a game set in L.A. not about street gangs.

Clearly age a factor, but as I play the older games, I'm not hit with some feeling the protag is too young for me to enjoy the game, so play and just ignore your own hangups!

The middle aged guy seems really cool! He has a nice face and he seems like a tough guy. I'd be disappointed if R* would give us a 22 year old punk who looks like he just came straight outta Jersey Shore with orange skin and half a can of mousse in his hair and has never worked a day in his life. What a bunch of losers they are, the guys in Jersey Shore. How the f--- did I start talking about Jersey Shore? How did I get into that topic, lal?

Hehe. These topics really make me laugh, and they remind me that most of you are just kids.

 

"Middle-aged" is: normal human being.

 

Older than middle-aged = old/mature.

 

Younger than middle-aged = child.

 

I've got ten years to look forward to before "middle-age", and rightfully anyone of that age thinks of me as a kid, at age 29.

Bleh, I really don't care in the end. I mean sh*t, it is GTA V after all. That guy that everyone thinks is Ned Luke looks around Tommy's age..... and Tommy V was f*cking epic.

 

I think that a good portion of the hate also comes from the face that people are on here saying that Ned Luke is the protagonists with a great deal of certainty, when nothing has been officially confirmed by R* as far as the protagonist is concerned. That's been pretty annoying thus far.

I think he's too old to be the protagonist. He should be aged 20 to 35. This guy looks 50.

Because he's young.

 

Where's the option for he's too young?

He's far too young, he's probably one of those youngsters who watches the you tubes on his diddly pad while listening to that rap music. I can't relate to him, I was expecting a ww2 vet, now that's bad ass

Because he has prostate.

As opposed to ovaries?

lmao

 

Nothing against Ned Luke here btw, but I don want my dinner.

Because Ned Luke isn't cool, not to mention that he's f***ing old

 

[REDACTED]

If it was a cool old guy I wouldn't mind too much but like hydraulic said Ned Luke isn't cool

I remember when the first trailer for GTA4 came out. People didn't believe that Niko was the main character because he didn't look like a GTA character. People refused to believe that Niko was the main protagonist, even after we told you "why would R* show us this random guy in a trailer if he's not the protagonist?". But look how that turned out. People really like Niko and most people agree that he's the best GTA character ever, along with Vercetti. Trust me, this middle-aged man will rock! He seems like a total badass with lots of crazy things which happened in his past. He has a nice face as well.

There are several "Random" guys in this trailer and one of them happens to be ugly and f***ing old, while the other one is a young hispanic whom when I look at, I don't want to gouge my f***ing eyes out.

Haha, get off niko's nuts, he's far from being as beloved as Tommy, if anything he's polarizing since people either love him or hate him. His character and story were disappointing to a lot of people

Your young hispanic crush is not well defined in his features and looks like a secondary character.

Since when did GTA protagonists have to be good looking? Look at Toni, Niko and Johnny - they ain't winning any beauty contests. But to be honest, being a heterosexual male, I've never put too much thought into rating the guys I'm playing as on looks, and Ned doesn't strike me as being the Elephant Man.

 

And since when was this "f*cking old"?

To me, he looks in his forties, early fifties tops. That's not "old" by anyone's standards (maybe it would have been "old" back in the Middle Ages, when the average life expectancy was 30). The way you guys talk about him, it's as if you're thinking Jon Gravelli is the protagonist.

What is it with kids today thinking that anyone of their parent's age uses a zimmer frame and eats prunes?

 

Also, GTA V will have multiple protagonists, so everyone's a winner.
