Am I the only one that liked Steve Haines?

Seriously I couldn't wait to kill him. Such a well fleshed out pompous ass in a video game. Just couldn't stand him.

I enjoyed sniping him, but there should have been an option to beat him to death with a melee weapon, like with Stretch.

I can barely find a difference between Haines and Weston.

 

Me neither. they're both, to quote Trevor, "ASSHOLES!".

I honestly dont remeber who was Weston and who was Haines which is why I'm playing through the storyline again. I guess some of the characters in GTA V didn't have the impact on me like the characters from previous games.

Steve Haines is the prime example of a douche, just knew it ever since

Dave introduces him and agent Sanchez to Michael before the mission 'three's company'

. So no, never liked him at all..

I thought his TV show was great. I tried to like him because of it and well... he was more likable than "Jizzle."

Haines was clearly a self absorbed prat, but I'd agree with one thing, I found Devon even more annoying.

Really? I actually liked Jimmy. Sure, he's a cariacature of us gamers, but there's more to it than just that.

Unless you played through the entire game skipping all cutscenes, it's impossible for you to not remember who they were, memorable or not. lol

After "Did Somebody Say Yoga?" it sealed his fate for me as worst character in GTAV. He's like an unfunny Roman combined with Yusif and Morti.

Nope, not a fan at all.

Everything about him is fake, and he's just powerful enough to call the shots or tip things his way.

He wants recognition more than he wants the job done right. As long as he looks good, its all that matters to him.

 

Weston was a guy too rich and powerful with an entire army. He would've been a great antagonist had R* focused more on him.

How come after that mission? He didn't even appear in it.

Steve Haynes should be what Frank Tenpenny was in GTA SA. Corrupt men thinking he is above the law, using fake excuses and permissions as an cop (or FIB agent, in Steve's case) to do whateaver they want and still making them look like heroes or smth.. maybe for the lenth of the game being too short, there was no time to focus more on him.

Devin Weston... he isn't hateable at all.. for the main antagonist, they should have put more effort into his personality and actions. I liked the "rich douchebag" idea, but seriously, they should have made him more of an asshole. I kind of feel bad for killing him.. didn't feel too good when i finally got to kill that Dmitri Rascalov asshole in GTA IV..

Harold "Joseph" Stretch.... man.. he is probably the worst "antagonist" ever... i mean, really, what the f*ck did he really done thats so bad to make him a main antagonist? Setup Lamar and Franklin in ONE MISSION? Tryed to kill Lamar? Side up with the Ballas?

From my point of view, the Cheng Clan were the better antagonist.. even so, they could have put a lot more effort into the writing part for them, wich would have made the best GTA in history..

This whole 3 characters scheme f*cked up most of things, like good antagonists.. they need at least 1 for each playable char, and they give us crappy ones, instead of only one main characther and lots of good antagonists like late GTAs had..

 

And if anyone still thinks that this multi characther in an open world was started by GTA, you should play Batman Arkham City. There is switching to Catwoman in some points through the city, and even to Robin if you play on PC...

 

Just my point of view.. You can now throw your fanboyism stones at me.

He might be confusing Steve with Fabien.

Steve Haines was a great character for his TV show alone. Really funny parody of a typical douchebag cop show.

 

"Every now and then somebody loses their sh*t, after a pipe or two of pleasure dust."

I liked him, I thought the acting was great. I've got a friend that acts like that all the time but he's not really a douche, so I might be biased. The Army's got quite a few douchy guys like him though.

I have to agree, I loved that TV segment. But I was all set for the chance to take out Steven f*cking Haines when the time came. :colgate: I wish it had not been so anticlimactic.

 

I agree with others who said that Devin Westoon was plenty unlikable, and it was good to have an opportunity to kill him too, but they missed the opportunity to flesh him out a bit more and make his machinations more devious and more obviously self-interested, to teach the lesson that money trumps all morals, plus his obvious overconfident SoCal personality.

 

It's really telling that some of the people responding to this thread may be confused about which character is which. The story was kind of only on the level of a TV episode. Hard to believe it took 5 years to put it together. :bored:

I like him in the sense that he's good character, but in-story I despise him as much as MFT do.

I guess the quote didn't show up I was saying I didn't really like devin but anyone is better than Jimmy and when someone asked why I said because of the events in "Did Someone Say Yoga?"

 

*Edit* oh look quotes didn't work again...

Damn it :cry:

I only like him because his voice actor, Robert Bogue, voiced Red Harlow in Red Dead Revolver. Other than that, sniping him was pretty awesome.
