What would you change?

[FewPoleCat42]

We all bitch and moan about certain aspects of every game, and this one is certainly no different, quite possibly being the most overhated game in the series. We all hate something about this game, story or gameplay wise, and so I propose this topic: what would you change about the things you dislike in the game? Now hold on, I don't mean what would you delete or add from older titles, I'm talking substitutes for things you dislike in the game. For example: I hate Johnny K's death. How would I change Johnny's death?

 

I would make him a bigger antagonist throughout the story specifically in the Sandy Shores part of the game and have him be a Faustin esque boss who gets killed in the mission Friends Reunited when Trevor destroys the Lost Base. Johnny wouldn't be portrayed as a tweaker, but instead as a fleshed out rival to Trevor who has dealt with the death of Ashley, the murder of Terry and Clay by Trevor and the undoing of his gang.

 

By the time we get to kill him as Trevor, you'll either see T as wholly badass or an irredeemable asshole, which will further influence which ending you pick by the end of the game.

 

Now, what are your suggested changes?

Michael's therapy sessions should not be about accepting and rejecting advice. Instead they should have been some funny recalling of an event that Michael tells his therapist (which always leave him confused and unable to offer much help) like e.g one could be that Michael talks about his day at golf but suddenly out of some problem, he gets angry and we are given this mini-game where you should beat up a number of golfers in a time limit (there is an example of Michael angrily hitting the tee in the trailers so I thought of this). 

So similarly, the therapy sessions should not have been actual therapy sessions. Dr. Friedlander should be the the "only sane person" that gets worried everytime Michael would attend a session and remember a quirky rage memory which would take form of a mini game and then seeking advice from his therapist so Friedlander would be baffled everytime. In the last session, we would get his trailer quote, "I think you need a new therapist." Ultimately, the innocent poor therapist would admit defeat.

Wow, great idea! Didn't even think about how basic those are.

I think killing off Molly was a wasted potential. She would've been a great addition for GTA:O import/export despite constantly having to hear how Mr. Weston is a brilliant man.

Interesting, would be neat to know what she does when her one true love dies.

Really simple but I wish we could get more Characters from single player into like Michael and Trevor. Add some more regular PVE missions instead of just big heist or some kind of business. More simple jobs for a lack of better term.
