Claude without a doubt, so psycho de doesn't show remorse, talk or express feelings, i disagree with the poll putting Tommy in the top, he was a gangster ok, but at least he did care about Earnest Kelly and respected him as father figure.

Yeah, but remember it was a creative decision. Claude doesn't talk because he has no voice actor. I think he would've been more chilling if he had a voice actor, but rarely spoke if at all.

 

Basically Claude's an empty shell with no personality.

Couldn't agree more. Tommy was bad-ass but loyal to the loyal but he is a psychopathic killer but still he respected Kelly, Cortez, Umberto, Mitch because they never betrayed him. Most of those who died at the hands (or should I say guns) were the guys who betrayed or double-crossed him.

 

And yes Claude seemed un-emotional and personality-less..

The whole idea behind Claude is he's supposed to be a respresentation of ourselves. GTA III was going to have the ability to make names.

 

I think he's taken too literally to be honest. The first real pyscho in the GTA series is arguably Tommy. Claude could be anything anyone imagine because he's not tied down with a specific personality.

Yeah I rad about something like that yesterday about how Claude is actually the player and even the name Claude isn't mentioned in the game, huh?

I think that most people are wrongly understanding the term "psychopath". A psychopath is not someone who's mentally unstable and crazy, psychopaths are completely sane yet they have no feelings and no conscience, so they can commit crimes without caring. All of the characters are in a way psycho/sociopaths, as neither of them expresses absolutely no remorse for the people they kill except in rare cases. I'd say Claude simply because of the total lack of emotion.

Claude's psychopathy depends on the player..That's why Rockstar din't name him nor sound him lol.gif too. And Tommy and Klebitz and Niko were psychopaths they didn't care for the crimes they did. But CJ wasn't because he showed remorse over Ryder and even Smoke.

Yes but those were the people he grew up with. Look at Deconstruction for example, he buries a man alive under concrete simply because he insulted his sister.

CJ did it of course I don't deny it. But still CJ ain't bad-ass as Tommy, Klebitz or Niko because he shows remorse even to the peds he kill.

If anything, the fact that Claude is an empty shell makes him an even greater psychopath.

Toni chopped up someone and sold the meat to his own deli, chop-suey'ed 20 Forelli wise guys with a Katana, tears through people with a Chainsaw wearing nothing but overalls and a Hockey Mask and leveled an enitre Neighborhood because he had nothing better to do.

 

So yeah, why is this a poll again. tounge.gif

And yet Niko is higher up than him. How did he came as a psychopath I don't know.

It's likely because the Stories games were Playstation exclusives, and obviously lacked a lot of the features SA introduced. So obviously they aren't as popular as the others, which simply means less votes.

 

But yeah, people seem to confuse "psychotic" and "angry".

I don't understand how Niko has any votes. He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty like somebody else said but he certainly doesn't enjoy the murders unless that person has done something to him.

 

Claude, Tommy, Toni and CJ are the only ones who are in contention. (haven't played the top down games or Episodes from LC so someone else can fill me in on that one)

the answer is obvious, Toni Cipriani

if you look at the other GTA Protagonists' crimes, well they were all dark

but their crimes were nothing when you compare them to Toni,

i mean,none of them slaughtered a man and chopped him and sold his meat in the guy's deli

and none of them blew up a neighborhood of a city for 5,000 dollars...

and none of them worked for a cannibalistic, necrophiliac, businessman -well, except for Claude-

and he never felt "real" remorse for his actions, and never felt empathy, nor guilt in any of his crimes

Toni is definetly the most psychopathic gta protagonist in the series

Claude, on the other hand is a psychopath in his character, he would do anything

for the right price

CJ, on the other hand, felt remorse, guilt, and empathy in some circumstances, like when he killed Ryder and Smoke

he felt remorse after killing them, he felt empathy for seeing kendl upset after the coworkers insulted her in the mission "Deconstruction"

But niko . For me he's just a person with PTSD

and that's it, hope i helped

Ill give you the bury a man in concrete and drowning Alan Crawford although alan was a ballas asset. The rest cj didn't really have a choice in toreno and crash had him by the balls. 

 

My vote is Toni dudes a psycho killing casa and making his deli serve his corpse, blowing up fort Staunton and killing Dan sucho because of insecurities

Tommy, the dude is a psycho.

 man. you haven't seen Toni yet

he slaughters people in the most brutal way possible man

i mean, look at what Toni did to Casa..., he killed casa with a goddamn fire axe

and he cut casa's corpse and sold casa's corpse meat in casa's own deli ! man that's messed up

and look at his fort staunton sttack that killed over a thousand

and for what ? 5,000 dollars...

and his rampages were even more psychopathic, i mean he's the only protagonist that targeted peds in his rampages

i mean neither Claude, Tommy, nor Vic targeted peds in their rampages

but Toni did, and he even killed leones in his rampages !

and he slaughters peds with a goddamn chainsaw and had 55 kills

at least Tommy targeted gang members and had 50 kills

but Toni targeted peds with a chainsaw and had 55 kills

man, Toni's just an evil, sadistic psychopath

i mean Tommy IS a psychopath, but not that psychopathic, take a look at Toni for example

no wonder why people chose Tommy instead of Toni...

edit: and CJ is a sociopath and not a psychopath

i mean he's the only protagonist in the 3d era who has no rampages !

and he sometimes feels real empathy, and real guilt and remorse for his killings

so he's not a psychopath, he's a sociopath

edit2: plus, the things that all the gta protagonists know is murder, Steal, and murder

except for Toni, all he knows is Murder, murder, and Murder

this kinda applies to Claude, but he's not more psychopathic than Toni

I don't know them all but since Claude is an emotionless killing machine who never shows any remorse and always has the same expression I chose him.

I would rule Trevor out as being the most because he at least does have a personal moral code (even if it's a questionable one) and is aware of and sometimes emotionally affected by some of the wrong he does. We see how troubled he feels after killing Debra and Floyd for one example. Claude, Tommy, and especially Toni don't seem to have any emotion, remorse or to be negatively affected by any of the wrong they do whatsoever. Imo that makes them more psychopathic.

Hmmm, different and nice way of lookin at things. Still, T wasn’t even on the poll and i asked staff to add him 😄

for me, here's the protagonists who i think are psychopaths:

Claude, Tommy, Toni, Niko, Johnny, and Trevor

but for the ones who are sociopaths for me

CJ, Vic Vance, Huang Lee, Luis Lopez, Michael De Santa, and Franklin Clinton

however, the online protagonist just depends on YOU, your mind, and your personality

for example, you want him a sociopath ?, sure why not,

you want him a psychopath ?, nao problema, you want him with APD (Antisocial Personality Disorder) ?

no big deal...,  the point is that the online protagonist is Custom

and not to get Confused, here's a little diffirence between sociopathy and psychopathy

sociopaths have lack of empathy, guilt and remorse, and at the same time,

these feelings can be present in some cases,

but psychopaths have Complete lack of empathy, guilt, and remorse

hope it sounded clear...

now for my ranking for psychopathy

#1- Toni Cipriani

#2- Claude Speed

#3- Tommy Vercetti

#4- Trevor Phillips

but for sociopathy ranking

#1- Carl Johnson

#2- Vic Vance -although i was about to give him the #1 spot but cj is more sociopathic-

#3- Franklin Clinton

hope i helped tho
