I mean Gerald is annoying

 

And if i hear "its Ron from TPI" once more, i will castrate the voice of him with his own teeth.

 

 

But as a set antagonist, is there one?

The cops? Merryweather? The gangs? They are really the people that go up against you most of the time.

Don Percival. But he's just a face.

 

Steve Haines, but he's just doing his job, ..illegally.

 

Martin Madrazo, but he was just a crook that got screwed with twice, so that's not really fair.

 

Ortega and The Aztecas, but again, he was screwed with first.

 

The Lost MC (Johnny Klebitz), but Johnny's sweetheart was getting screwed literally, and Johnny just wanted Trevor to stop.

 

Elwood O'Neil, but Trevor didn't want to share the pie and he killed most of the O'Neil brethern, so meh.

 

I think the only REAL antagonist in this game is Devon Weston. He's the type. Or Trevor if you wanna' look at it that way. Maybe Stretch since he sold Lamar out and dragged Franklin along.

 

Cheng.. not so much, again, Trevor's actions got him into the dispute in the first place.

The shopkeepers,they don't seem to want my 'business'...... Every time I go in,I'll get a derogitary remark,it's then 50/50 whether I get my sawn off out or not,but very satisfying to blow the Fckr away,take the cash,and then ,err leave online...and come back few seconds later and no cops...

We weren't talking about SP, but now that you mentioned it, Michael can be tossed into the argument. He struck a deal with the FIB to bring Brad and Trevor into custody in the prologue so that he can restart in Los Santos; this cost Brad his life. During the Obvious Big Score's police chase, he even says if they get busted, they rat Trevor out, showing that he would do it again if cornered.

 

He betrays and lies to anybody close to him, then tries to justify himself as a good guy despite his psychotic tendencies, something that his son points out. When he smokes a bong, he even admits that he is a lying turd. Lmao

Well, online doesn't have any antagonists at all (at least not major or even supporting characters), so forgive me for incorporating SP to continue a little elaboration. If you're going to look at it that way, I find the only antagonist would be either Lester or Percival - As they have options players can use to hinder your efforts at staying alive, but to call somebody an antagonist for playing both sides isn't something I'd agree on. I'll leave somebody else to decide that.

 

We have enemies online, sure. And the bossheads of those enemies, SHOULD be the 'set' antagonists. ex. Madrazo's Cartel: Martin Madrazo, but not everyone will agree because like me, I see a true antagonist just as I see a true protagonist. When they're involved in the story. Online doesn't have any antagonists.

 

But, that doesn't mean I won't have a little fun and provide a few names of who I think are the 'antagonists' online.

 

And Mikey as an antagonist is a good argument, but, as he's my favorite character, I see him as the ultimate antihero, tied with Trevor.

Ohhh yeah, I understand where you're getting the ideas of finding an antagonist. Some time in the futue, possibly after heists, the FIB, even the IAA, has to get on our cases. There is no way that common criminals like our characters can get away with the crimes we commit in a lot of those missions (gang violence, drug trafficking, stealing government property, grand theft auto, property damage, murders of countless police officers, military personnel, PMC soldiers, and several government agents).

You mean something like...the Salvatore's gang in the black suit in GTA III which will shoot you on sight after you killed their boss?

Maybe not the antagonists but our enemy's are the enemy's of the people we do missions for, example: we do missions for Gerald and he is in the Grove St. Families (or at least he lives on their turf). Gerald has you doing missions against the Vagos and Ballas along with other factions, so this must make us his ally and his enemy's our enemy's?

I share a similiar theory. Me personally, I always enjoy doing contact missions when the cops get involved. (Crime Scenester, Hack and Dash, San Andreas Seoul, Bust Out, etc) - Without throwing countless enemies at us for increased difficulty, I like to think these missions add a more balanced way at making a mission difficult. It feels a lot less forced given that, (if you're good enough), you can completely avoid conflict at your own descretion after the dirty deeds are done.

 

To consider the shadow war that is being fought between the FIB and the IAA in GTA V, - I can see a lot of opportunity for some very fun missions to be made. 'Maybe even some new faces. 'Receiving a mission invite from Dave Norton or Steve Haines.. As witnessed in the story, they don't seem very shy when they 'ask' for help outside their jurisdiction.

not enough. i would like to see cops generally patrolling in FR instead of only when killing has been done. there are times when i get bored so i deliberately get them chasing me around the city. the gangs could be more aggressive too, especially to each other. the ballas and GSF are right next to each other yet not once have i seen them throw as much as a bun at one another. so much for rival factions
