Lamar for Greatest Character Award.

Recommended Posts

Trevor fans will be pissed, but I don't give a damn.

People always talk about getting the most laughs from Trevor, and I respect that. But Lamar won me over. He was just so.. not stupid, but blind to most things and the dialouge between him and Franklin in mostly every mission was hilarious.

I'd like to see Trevor and Lamar make it in Greatest Character or whatever the award is at some kind of Video Game award show.

Funny as hell. Truly underrated in these forums.

I agree, I always loved the dialogue from Lamar and got a good kick out of it. A notable example is during the first mission when

he says "I don't care about what it is, I just want to win nigga" with the employee of the month fiasco

Well, i think he's funny and all, but honestly i couldn't relate to him much. And i was hoping to have quite some missions by his side, representing the grove or some sh*t, instead, we hanged with Lamar in like 3 missions, in wich the plot would be "Lamar get's some easy-score lick. Lamar f*cks up because he's an idiot. Franklin has to save the day."

True that, nigga. Anyone hating on LD be hating a nigga cuz a nigga is beautiful, yo!

"Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful, nigga."

"REAL GANGSTUH sh*t."

It was also the movements he did when saying that last quote that really helped.

 

Was really hoping when the crew was all looking down at the final mission, he just would've walked over, no words. Just "Niiiyyguuuh."

 

As for your second post, yeah, I agree. Was really hoping he would play a larger role. Hopefully DLC will come out for that.

He was just a funny guy, all in all.

 

To me he appeared like a pretty stupid guy to be honest.

He had his funny moments but he's nowhere near Trevor

Understandable. I like them both, alot. I just thought Lamar made me have a bit more laughter from half the sh*t he said.

I find the interaction between Michael and his family the most humorous. I don't know why, but when **minor yoga spoiler**

Fabian said "back into my penis" The way he pronounced penis...like pen-iss.

made me laugh so hard and then Michael's rage happened.

Lamar is definitely a scene stealer, I found him the most consistently funny guy in the game. Sure Trevor has the lines and the craziness, but he sometimes falls under the all too predictable nature of games making a fanservice character, he says and does crazy and random things so he must be the greatest character ever. Lamar on the other hand rarely does things of note yet still manages to come off as interesting, deep and hilarious with just the way he acts and reacts.

I don't see why everyone likes Trevor so much. He is just an impetuous asshole.

I understand why people like him, and i like him too but there are far better reasons to like a character than "he does bad ass things and says funny stuff" which is pretty much the main reason of the majority of people who like him.

I thought he was hilarious.

If Trevor is my favorite protagonist, Lamar is definitely up there for my favorite NPC's. His attitude and mannerisms are just so damn funny.

 

Everything he says in Franklins second mission is gold.

I'm not sure I can agree to that. I honestly think Lamar is so stupid and so clueless of everything that is going on around him. He also seems to me like he is a wannabe gangbanger and tries way too hard with everything, which is what ruins him for me.

 

M favorite character happens to be Wade, because he is a hilarious, meth'd out, crazy ICP looking guy. He also has a funny way of talking because of all the piercings. :D

I hated Lamar and I got tired of saving his stupid ass

You only save him twice in the final two missions. Am I missing something?

Nah, he's not a wannabe gangbanger. He does truly seem like the ideal stereotype of gang banger, but it seems like he almost wants to leave it too.

SALO or The 120 Days Of Sodom

We should have been playing as lamar instead of Franklin.. why do videogames tend to put us in the shoes of the most boring characters?? remember Mafia 2? Joe was a way better and interesting character than the main guy(i don't even remember his name, he was so boring) and i was glad they made dlc for him. they should have made the game about him in the first place..

 

now back on track: IDK about you guys but Franklin is as whiny, boring and annoying as Niko.

 

they should make dlc for lamar, wade, and Jimmy... best game ever, if so.

I actually liked Franklin, and could almost relate to him.

 

He was somewhat annoying, but he really grew on me. A guy trying to change his life style, be sucessful and responsible. Having some serious girl issues, by not letting to with that one chick. Having a dumb ass friend who tries to act hard but gets himself in bad situations. Hell, Chop nearly looks exactly like my dog. I related to Franklin.

 

Hell, I used to live in the ghetto part of the city before I moved to the suburbs.

 

REALLLLLLY have to disagree with Jimmy though. I found him to be the most annoying character, actually. I just never got into him. He annoyed me. He did the job well, since that's what the character is there for. But damn.

Lamar is awesome and my second favourite behind Trevor. Speaking of which, LD and Trevor had some amazing interactions.

The reason Trevor exists is to allow us to play as the insane side character instead of the boring main character lol.

That is exactly why people like him. I despise Trevor

mostly for killing Johnny

, but I understand why some people might like him.

Lamar for best character? Eh... let's just say I put him ahead of usual candidates that get nomination for such meaningless things.

GRINCH ASS BITCH

I personally think that Lamar's dialogue was some of, if not, the best in the game, with Trevor's a close second. His delivery was immaculate and it didn't sound cheesy and monotone like some of Franklin's lines. He actually spoke and sounded (not to mention gestured) like a real person.
