Ahmedmfroezspeed 283 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) For me... He's the second best protagonist in the series He's just Tommy Vercetti , only with way more sadism and way less mercy, I mean he's the third protagonist with the highest kill count in rampages where he had from 492-510 kills in his rampages where on the second spot is Vic Vance where he had 649-660 kills on the pap and From 700-720 kills on the ps2 version And on the #1 spot is Tommy Vercetti where he had from 849-860 kills in his rampages... And the protagonist with the highest storyline kill count of the series where he killed...over a hundred,and probably over a thousand... anyways Unlike Tommy. Toni is SADISTIC! And he's the most psychopathic protagonist in the series That's why he's my second most favorite protagonist in the series and Tommy is my third most favorite protagonist in the series..., tell me who's more psychopathic than Toni ? None Probably Claude , but he ain't as dark as Toni How about you ? What do you think of Toni Cipriani ? Let me know by replying Edited February 23, 2020 by Ahmedmfroezspeed 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nappy 1,372 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 you thinking a bit too much about a guy who doesnt even talk much. Toni is alright, i don’t think he is a psychopath or sociopath. A killer without mercy, we got that but whatever. Being a hypocrite is far worse than those(personal opinion), talking about Michael Townley btw by “Hypocrite”. Same for Trevor. To me, being a Douche bag is also far worse than being evil. Trevor is the most douche bag protagonist out there, no wonder why people hate V’s storyline. Story doesn’t make sense alright, at least be a bit serious dammit. Toni is cool. Try not to quote me on this post. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
universetwisters 34,154 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think he's a crazy man with an undying loyalty to his mama and Sal who I think killed CJ and probably took over the Leone family after Sal's death 4 Link to post Share on other sites

jazzbone 810 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) My choice is Toni and LCS over Claude and GTA3, and i am still hoping LCS comes to PS4. Toni seems like and looks like a 1950's old school wiseguy. Like a character in "A Bronx Tale" or "Goodfellas". Toni C. also looks like a guy that could be a Captain under Tony Soprano. Overall Toni C. is GTA protaganist that is enjoyable to play. Edited March 4, 2020 by jazzbone 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DownInThePMs 2,424 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Hes shallow imo, and i think hes one of the emptiest protagonists in the series. i dont get why many of you guys like him. He checks all the boxes for every trope associated with a stereotypical Hollywood italian american mobster (loyalty, sociopathy, troubles with family) and he just plays like a 1-dimensional lap dog for salvatore throughout the whole game (even maria alludes to this). and the worst part is that game doesnt even attempt to explore, test or deconstruct these characterizations at all. Hes essentially a drone for the mafia and the rich driven by the carnal desires of violence and destruction that happens to be controlled by the player, which to me actually creates a sort of disconnect between the player and him. Contrast this with claude, who basically has no dialogue at all, but still has a ton more character than toni does. We understand his motivations for causing a rouse in the city, and as such, I actually relate to and enjoy playing as him more. I think Luis in TBOGT is Toni done slightly better, and that game was short. Edited March 31, 2020 by DownInTheHole 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LCLegend 593 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 He's a momma's boy and lap dog. I think the situations he's put in are funny, but he is ultimately a very simple protagonist. Nothing particularly wrong about that, I enjoy playing as him, I just wish there was a bit more to him. Link to post Share on other sites

jazzbone 810 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Luis Lopez? He's ok and interesting to play as. Luis is loyal to his employer that provides a good income and probably keeps Luis off the streets. Tony is older than Luis and may be somewhat of a father figure that Luis may never have had before. Luis is also Tony's right hand man so there is a mutual relationship of dependency, trust, respect, and loyalty. Link to post Share on other sites

DJToni 146 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I liked Toni, he was really cool. I enjoyed the mafia focused theme LCS had, and Toni was the perfect fit as a protagonist. His loyalty to Salvatore was something I thought was unique in the series. Most of the time the protagonist was kinda freelance (CJ, Niko) or they were kinda working for themselves, (Vic, Tommy). Toni was a member of the mafia, and somewhat early in the game becomes a made man. His loyalty to the mafia, and Don Salvatore Leone, was really admirable. We've always worked for the mafia as different protagonists in different games, but this perspective from an actual member of the mafia was awesome and unique. I've always thought of GTA: LCS as the most serious game of the 3D era. No silly stuff, no jetpacks, no stipclubs, just mafia related "work". I think that's a big reason this game is underrated. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Toni is dedicated to the Leone's to the point of doing anything for him to get a name for himself among this crime family. Link to post Share on other sites
