That joke isn't funny anymore...protag dies

What ya'll think about the protagonist dies at the end policy R* been doing for years now?

 

!!!Spoilers!!!

 

The only time it was dramatic and sad and really affected me was when John Marston was killed.

 

L.A. Noire I haven't played (who you control after Cole Phelps dies?)

 

In GTA 5, despite Option C being the only real choice for me, Mike's and Trevor's deaths were executed poorly. Options felt so wrong and forced and left a sour taste.

 

Now it was obvious Arthur Morgan will die and R* went a new direction with him getting gravely ill, increasing the difficulty..

 

But it got worn out that the protagonist dies...

I'm expecting it...

In Bully 2 the protagonist will die  ... I feel it. Yeah, it's become very expected!

Dunno if this is sarcasm and haven't played Bully.

I'd hardly call it a policy. They've only done it 3 times (to my knowledge), and all 3 times it felt natural for the story.

Thanks for spoiling it, could have hidden that in a spoiler tag since I haven't played the game yet.

If not death end with the protagonist going to jail getting locked up for a life sentence.

No way a GTA Protagonist is going to wait in a prison. This is probably what's going to happen in the end...

I agree it's become a tired trope. It feels out of place in GTA V since both endings where Trevor and Michael die are pretty garbage and low effort to have an excuse for multiple endings. GTA V fails at creating meaningful moments so I'm not really sure the purpose of either Trevor or Michael dying except for a reason to have two more albeit incredibly rushed and tacked on endings.

 

If the protagonist has to die it needs to be done meaningful like John in Red Dead Redemption, but it doesn't really suit GTA.

With the 3D universe GTA games, the only Protagonist to die was Victor Vance.

it's better not knowing what happens to them in my opinion.

-snip-

They did something different in Red Dead Redemption 2 with Arthur getting sick. I could see them trying something different in GTA. Maybe have the protag go to some federal prison a couple states away a prison like ADX Florence.

 

The problem would be who would we be playing as afterwards that would make sense and not ruin the experience.

Multiple Protagonists.... Like the short period Michael was kidnapped by Wei Cheng.
