Paul72 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 For me, it's Vic Vance. The guy says he wants nothing to do with drugs yet builds drug empires everywhere. As much as I like Niko, he comes a close second in the department of hypocrisy.

DOUGL4S1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Niko Bellic, it is even pointed out by Darko Brevic: "Someone killed 12 of my friends, so I'm going to become a Hitman and kill hundreds of people to discover who it was". That's why I almost always spared him.

Prasdana21 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Franklin IMO. The reason why he didn't want to be in the hood is because "he doesn't want to get killed" yet he helped Michael and Trevor in a lot of robberies and other things? Why didn't he say that "he wants a lot money"? I don't have a problem with him robbering places, what I have problem is that he didn't give an honest answer to Lamar and the gang, that's all. theGTAking101 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/880632-who-is-the-most-hypocritical-protagonist-ever/#findComment-1069375499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimitriFaustin Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well, there's certainly a double standard about Claude in GTA 3, seeing how he'll betray anyone if his employer demands he do so but can't take betrayal himself. Anyways, my vote is a three-way tie between Vic, Niko and Michael.

Michael hold a carrot on a stick in front of franklin promising a hell lot of money from professional criminal work (Way more money for a higher risk), but they both are more or less degraded to hired guns for the FIB and Weston during SP. For the topic, i'd say it's Niko "I kill dozens of people for revenge, because war was hell and i want revenge for getting betrayed" Bellic. Michael....i think the character has worse problems that beeing a hypocrite. He really cares for his family and wants to mentor franklin, but sometimes he's somewhat delusional about how things end up and he's constantly blackmailed by other parties.

Brian Grey Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Depends, these people don't have much of a moral compass, overall they wouldn't be too bothered about bending facts or saying something that contradicts to what he told someone else, its hard to say who's the most hypocritical when they all lie and manipulate people to some degree, hell they'd even assassinate someone if the pay was good. so if we was to say who was the most hypocritical it would be hard because a sociopath would believe the rules do not apply to them. They are all Liars, thieves, murderers, they'd reach their goals at the expense of other people, they don't care for society's rules, only for their own gain. we could call them all hypocrites, but they don't care, they would grab you by the leg and pull you down and if you climb up they'd boot you in the face all they way down.

CarnageRacing00 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Franklin IMO. The reason why he didn't want to be in the hood is because "he doesn't want to get killed" yet he helped Michael and Trevor in a lot of robberies and other things? Why didn't he say that "he wants a lot money"? I don't have a problem with him robbering places, what I have problem is that he didn't give an honest answer to Lamar and the gang, that's all. It was a bit more complex than that. He didn't want to die in the hood, because he'd consider that to be wasting his life. He wanted more, and he was probably ok with risking his life if he was actually doing something with it. Niko is by far the most hypocritical, because he never acknowledges his own hypocrisy, and when someone points it out to him he just becomes angrier. Michael is a hypocrite, but that's kind of the point of his story. It's constantly brought up and thrown in his face and he even acknowledges it, and in the end he DOES start to transform as a person. If you play as Michael after the story is completed, those little scenes that play when you switch to him are a lot different - he's nice to his wife, doesn't fight with his kids, and genuinely seems to be trying to change. And you don't HAVE to make him go kill anyone anymore, you can have him play tennis or drive leisurely or whatever.

slimeball supreme Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) niko's entire character was defined not just by the damage and grief the war caused him, but his own hypocritical nature. sometimes he acknowledges it, sometimes he doesn't, and the characters closest to him call him out on it. the story itself is a journey to come to terms with his own hypocrisy, and find a way to get around it. in fact, the ending decision is literally marred by the idea, for him to either let go or let his bad qualities fuel him more.

.Ryan. Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Niko is by far the most hypocritical, because he never acknowledges his own hypocrisy, and when someone points it out to him he just becomes angrier. If you kill Dardan in "Bleed Out" via pushing him through the window Niko angrily questions his own promise of NOT killing anyone.
