JimJones Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Right after I saw the Franklin trailer, I started to hate him even more. He seemed just like a dumb, stupid ghetto hood rat.

I don't see how anyone can enjoy such an uneducated, lowlife character like him. It's a bummer. Basically how I feel too. The whole gang thing has been done already. I hated it in San Andreas, very likely I'll hate it in GTA 5. And the whole Mob thing has been done multiple times.... GTA III GTA Vice City GTA SA(Yes....The missions during Las Venturas..LV was mostly about that!) GTA LCS GTA IV GTA BOGT So yeah...Your point? The 'gang thing' hasn't even been done by R since freaking 2004! My god what is wrong with people on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceVance32 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think that Trevor is the most interesting character. It would be awesome to play a hillbilly, did a hillbilly character appear in other GTA games? No. And I liked the Michael trailer just because of the music.

The Made Man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 @universetwisters Oh...So you wanna go that route. The whole Mafia thing has been played out ever since Godfather...Hell I'd much rather prefer the Chinese Triads or Mexican Cartel over the same boring and repetitive mafia. Gangs are not usually organized??? And they are always dumb??? If that is the truth, than explain why a street gang like the Gangsta Disiples became the most powerful force to be reckon with during the 90s??? Being classy? Does being 'classy' make you the most powerful crime group in the world? Nope. Are the Sinaloa cartel classy? Do they wear fancy suits? Nope yet they are the most powerful criminal organization in the world. The Black Mafia Family street gang of Atlanta weren't classy, let they became rich and a force top be reckon with. They also spoke with Ebonics and weren't 'classy'. Seriously what is wrong with people on this forum. Anyways my original point was the street gang thing hasn't been DONE SINCE 2004! So I dont understand why people are freaking complaining. GET OVER IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokrie Dela Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I see why rockstar are giving each specific skill sets I think michaels my favourite so far tbh. Trevor's funny and crazy - how saints row SHOULD be, Trevor's a young upstart who looks like hell be into some fun But Michael, at first I thought him the old pro, cold and cool but he seems much more in depth.

The Made Man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 All the people who are fans of the 'street gang banging' thing were not even complaining about Vice City(I actually liked the game),LSC,IV,TLAD,TBOGT,etc...So I don't understand why people are complaining about street gang story being in V. When in fact its not even going to be the MAIN PLOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well keep on crying like a lil' b*tch, because I love to see the guys hating on Franklin get upset, you included of course. Damn, I never knew video games had such emotional impact on guys like this. "YOU AINT GOTTA LOVE IT, COS GOIN' LOVE IT !!" Mexican cartels would have been more exciting than the overused Mob/Mafia. You just make me laugh.

The Made Man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Seriously I would much rather see... Mexican cartels Chinese Triads Latino Gang bangers 1%er Biker gangs All much more interesting than the Mafia. Mafia fans SHOULD NOT be complaining. Since the Mafia theme has been forced down our throats from Video Games to Movies. They have no right to complain. The Mafia storyline overshadowed every storyline in IV(TLAD and TBOGT included). This seriously pissed me off. Like really? Mafia fans are complaining about street gangs being in V, when LA(LS) is the capitol of street gangs.

Just look at the gangs in IV. The Spanish Lords almost had nothing to do in the story line. yet they were on ALL FOUR boroughs. Yeah but the wont be a key point like the Russians in IV. I mean none of the protagonists seem like they have links to them. But I guess Franklin may from problems with them and Trevor might with the drug trade.

Kushi_Pete Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 This is how I rolled before the trailers: Franklin Trevor Michael And this is how I roll after the trailers: Franklin Trevor Michael I like Frank the most because he's story brings back the SA nostalgia and he's characteristics are far better than CJ. Trevor is funny as hell and crazy. Michael is interesting because he has a family and a midlife crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman_for_hire Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The proofs there. After seeing franklins trailer everybody loves him now. Not to knock trevor/michael, but its obvious most people would rather plays as a wild young protag, than the sensible older one. Trevors wild too but he's older and dirty lol edit: Im looking forward to playing all three by the way. Yea franklin looks like he's gonna be my main man and Iv said it long before his trailer was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Made Man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Also not trying to be clown CJ, but Frank seems way more intelligent and complex than CJ. So again how are they the same? Saying that both are in gangs is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyphoonJames Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Bullsh*t topic. Everyone Loved Michael first because he was all classy. Then everyone loved Trevor because he was a nutbar who liked fire Now everyone loves Franklin because of "Families and Ballas". This. We have the trailers to thank for this shift of preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternetKillTV Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah, don't speak for everybody. I really don't find Franklin intriguing. I'm fine with him there and I think his character will work well with Michael and Trevor but him and his background alone? Eugh, no thank you. I've developed a bit of a dislike for gang culture and even more so for those gang wannabes. I had a theory that some of the people who are such fans of Franklin are potentially those gang wannabes. I derived that from some posts on here but obviously that doesn't speak for the entire group of Franklin fans. Though there's no doubt in my mind there's at least a few of them. Anyway, at the end of the day it doesn't matter, this is why we have 3 protagonists. It seems everybody is happy with at least one of them though. Together their dynamic will be great but yeah, hate Franklin's story. He has potential though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Made Man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I do understand that some people may not like the gang culture in video games. But you shouldn't whine about it since it has rarely been done in games...That's my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I loved about IV was that the Russian mafia was in it they played a really small part in SA. But what R* do they had to throw in the Italians don't get me wrong love Godfather Casino etc etc but talk about played out. Every game had them even SA.
