And even for a heist game, it had relatively few heists. But yeah, it really could use more satire or at least likeable characters, the story and characters as presented weren’t very engaging IMO.
They dropped the ball with the characters completely, I have no idea why they just didn’t do “Tommy Vercetti, Claude, CJ”. Same thing with 6, why not just put Catalina in there?
These two are in very different physical areas and would be very old by GTA Vs timeline. If CJ were there, it would devolve into a repeat of SA, no? He’d want to revitalize Grove Street, not rob banks.
I think their characters were fine, they just needed some work:
Michael - super bland, so maybe just need more satire about suburban fantasies or something; perhaps could’ve been replaced with a retired Claude or Tommy, idk, I just thought he was bland.
Franklin - early on, he said he wanted to run a car dealership, why did that dream die? I would’ve loved more car theft missions, and maybe a mini management sim (hire sales people, sell modded cars, etc)
Trevor - more conflict with local drug groups, maybe a turf war like SA? Or maybe drug running minigames? Surely he has more ambition than making cash with Michael
Some of the issues I have were resolved by the online component, but I am not interested in an MMO, I want single player GTA.
