Whose your favourite HD era GTA protagonist and why?

Went with Huang Lee, I wish Chinatown wars was longer.

Man CJ was pretty great lmao

I thought Huang Lee was a particularly well written character arc for a GTA game.

To elaborate: Agent 47 is there to blend in cool as crystal and ice his target. Doomguy is there to rip and tear demons until it is done. Trevor is there to fuck, fight, steal, and wreak havoc. These characters aren't just protagonists or player avatars, but vessels for their game's goals. There are no conflicts within them that impact the narrative anti-climatically.

Trevor has conviction in doing the main things you do in GTA. That's why he's the best.

Trevor Philips, no question. I like my MC dirty AF, also very much enjoyed Old Kratos and Kane & Lynch.

The best memes are associated with CJ and Niko tho, no question about that

I don't know really. I don't remember any of them particularly well, except for Trevor - but that's because he was so over the top. I suppose I enjoyed his portrayal the most, but I do have a thing for that sort of character type.

Franklin. Dude gets a sweet mansion, has a cool bike, an amazing dog and can slow down time while driving.

Yo, why does Chinatown Wars get a choice but the PSP Stories games don't? Same portable generation as Chinatown Wars. Not that I'd vote for either of them, but still.

But anyways I'm gonna have to go with......Niko. Shit yeah Niko was honestly great. None of GTA V's protags resonated the way Niko did. Great character.

CJ is my favourite protagonist of them all though.

Niko, followed closely by Trevor. Michael, on the other hand, is one of the worst characters Rockstar has ever written, and the amount of focus and screen time he gets in GTA V annoys me to no end.
