greenrock Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 i mean he wasn't really the well deleveoped compared to M and T, michael was pretty much the main character. but if you remember most of the screenshots were focused on him he had the most screenshots... it seemed like he was the protagonist rockstar used to advertise gta 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universetwisters Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Because Rockstar was trying to attract all the wanabee gangsters, CJ fanboys, etc. Franklin doesn't have much relevance after he gets that mansion, though. Sure, he pops up every now and then, but he just spends his days ironing shirts and looking through telescopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutslab Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) they wanted to get as many customers as possible. franklin relates the most to the teen demographic, most of whom are wannabe gangstas/thugs/ghetto trash and are also, as expected, the majority of the playerbase Edited January 12, 2014 by pokemon4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you play online but what you just described is the average loser on the mic, screaming to everyone about how he can kill everyone in the lobby with only his pistol, and how he is gangster, and how he can own anyone who tries to kill him [iN A VIDEO GAME] It's hilarious because when they run into people that just ignore them, they start screaming NIGGA!! over and over again, for some reason these nerds think saying nigga makes them gangster.

I still warn you though, be cautious with downtalking Franklin in general, seeing as they'll try to warp it into some kind of racial context, regardless of the original.

Proletariat Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) ghetto trash I'd be careful with that word around her. Now it seems like it's some racial term for African Americans ghetto trash/trailer trash, they're all the same sh*t to me. Taxpayers bear their burden. The former is open about their love for welfare, the latter hates welfare and the people who use it, but secretly accepts even more welfare than the ghetto trash.

The fact that someone tries to attach a certain race to those type of people, and tries to call other people racist when they use it in a negative light (even though that term was already in a negative light to begin with), seems a little racist.

TheJasonGallant Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't think it was really more focused on Franklin... Sure there had a lot of screens with him but I think it was just for the sake of making sceenshots of good scenes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if white/black/hispanic are ghetto trash/redneck/white trash/trailer trash/hood gangsters, cause to me, my money is going towards helping these racists who accuse others in the first place. Sad that our governement doesn't realize that no amount of anti-racism legislation is going to remove raise because THEY are the ones who institutionalized racism through welfare and affirmative action. Everyone is seen as White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Mixed, whereas they should either be seen as poor, lower middle class, upper middle class, and f*cking rich.

HOW'S ANNIE? Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 They tried to appeal to the people who started with San Andreas, whom made the assumption (after only playing SA and IV) that GTA was all about gangster rap, lowriders and spraying tags like a lowlife hoodlum.

Lil_B_The Basedgod Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think that Michael was advertised the most honestly. he was their first protagonist, he narrated all of trailers, besides the gameplay trailers... and you guys should really come up with some better descriptions of people " the teen demographic, most of whom are wannabe gangstas/thugs/ghetto trash" I mean c'mon. you could do better than that. I mean you saying this is like be saying that trevor appeals to the trailer park white trash, wannabe redneck neonazi demographic...I mean it just goes back and for all day, like a game of pong...

Shane_Dbns Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Because Mike is a piece of trash douch bag that sells out his friends and in the process gets one of them killed. I really don't know why trevor never shoot him for being a backstabber KING2dor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMathers3501 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 i mean he wasn't really the well deleveoped compared to M and T, michael was pretty much the main character. but if you remember most of the screenshots were focused on him he had the most screenshots... it seemed like he was the protagonist rockstar used to advertise gta 5 ...uhh, Michael was, actually. He...well, you know, he was actually the only guy in the first trailer. I mean, I think beta Franklin was in the first trailer but everybody just thought it was CJ. But I wouldn't call Michael the main character of the game. He was advertised the most like he'd be the main character, but Franklin was. I mean, his whole back story with the CGF might have been lightly touched on and largely ignored, but only because A - as the main character in a story with three protagonists, you'd want him to be a bit of a blank canvas, hence his youth, B - Michael was too bogged down with family problems to get up to as many criminal endeavors as the other two, C - Rockstar knew Trevor was going to be the fan favorite with his hilarious antics, so when he finally popped up he stole the scene for a while and D - the whole point of the game wasn't gang warfare it was the planning and execution of heists and taking on the government.
