Lil_B_The Basedgod Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 My question: why does Franklin start off with such terrible shooting in his abilities? As a gang member (or an ex gang member) shouldn't he have firearm experience? Certainly not to the degree Michael does, but still. its probably just because he has the least "Professional" experience. @GTAaction99 whats your favorite thing about franklin?

It's like their own Center Axis Relock, sideways and sh*t. EDIT: Center Axis Relock being truly effective, compared to sideways gun holding....

hunk41 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 He's got the most useful special ability, and he is the most interesting protagonist in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil_B_The Basedgod Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 He's got the most useful special ability, and he is the most interesting protagonist in my opinion. i love racing so it will definitely give me an edge against other racers.

MagzGTA Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I like him beacause he's young and ambitious. I also like how he is built as he is short and stocky, unlike any previous GTA character, I feel like people aren't seeing his true potential as a character! Also I like the melee side of the GTA too and can't wait to get into fist fights with rival gang members! Unlike nose people I value each character equally and think they will all add a cool element to the story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Driving/Racing skill, and the fact that he is a part of the Families gang. I like Racing too, so I will definitely use his ability alot.

whiteface Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think I heard from GTA V O'clock online preview thing that franklin "looks up to Michael" or wants what he has. So I'm not sure if he'll stay more with the gang, or if he'll try and move up and away from them. (MagzGTA @ Tuesday, Aug 20 2013, 00:39)I like him beacause he's young and ambitious.

ill-thoughts Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 i think hes an undercover cop moonlighting as a repo man and towards the end of the game, he'll have to dime out either Michael or Trevor (players choice). seriously, you dont think Michaels just gonna get away with stealing and killing people while hes in Witness Protection, do you???? i think this game is really going to delve into the reality of what it means to be a career criminal and all the reprocusions that come with that life....and Franklin is going to be that avenging angel to decide who gets it bad and who walks off into the sunset.

Macuvi Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I had no interest in Franko at first, but he grew on me. For some reason...I think his death would bother me most. I think it could be how young he is and how he wants a better life for himself. My one hope for the character is that he doesn't play errand boy the whole game. I understand if Michael throws him a few jobs at first. Kinda opening him up to the bigger crime world, it would make for some good tutorial missions too. Other than that...I'm surprised that he has replaced Michael as my second most played character...for now.

seVensantos Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 all 3 are interesting characters. anticipating playing all. but... yes, franklin is a character ill enjoy playing when feeling nostalgic 4 san andreas. but the gta V franklin character seems like hes transitioning from the gang bang lifestyle 2 maturing & trying 2 get more secure money...even if it means taking high risks 2 get it. i dont think he reps grove street. there are other gangs now & tho in this new universe grove street may have been hardcore "back in the day", whoever franklin rolls with now, is new. because he owns a dog im hoping we do some missions/activities with the dog. his driving skills are crazy & hes the repo man. thats got 2 account 2 him having access 2 the best cars off top. being that hes from "the hood", the homies/peds in that area will be hilarious. rockstar humor. im going with rockstar saying there wont really be an ending. but if there is, franklin will be my most developed skill-wise character. *do a thread 4 the other guys 2.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin is not an undercover cop, based on the reasons Lil' B said, it's just not plausible or sensible enough an idea. You should be smart enough to know this.

crazyal888 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm gonna swag out Franklin in green clothing and just go on a few drive-bys in the beginning of the game. I will play his story how it should and try to stop repping once he meets Michael and Trevor. I think he is a very good character and he's my favorite.

dwadEE Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Do you guys think there will be a choice in the game, to either go with Lamar and stay in the hood, or to actually just leave to hood totally for Michael? I would love to both work with Michael but to be ready to rep the hood whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I plan on doing the first two weeks as Franklin is chillin in the hood with Lamar and doing Gang Wars.I'm not planning on completing the story for a while.I will just build Franklin up and my Onlne character (CJ).

DeafMetal Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 1. First Impressions On Him2. What you think of him. 3. What do you think of Lamar, or his relationship with Lamar. 4. Do you think he's making the right choice getting out of gangbanging. 5. How do you think he'll meet Michael? 6. What do you think are the good or bad things about him? This thread was made for you, the forum to discuss and debate your opinions on him. 1. He looked like Mexican Vin Diesel 2. He's awesome. An obvious nod towards SA fans. 3. Very San Andreas-ish. I love it 4. Yes. But he'll have to literally fight his gang. 5. I think we saw it in the second trailer. In the street by a bench. 6. He seems like a good GTA protag. Not really any bad I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
