Just wrapped up gta V, it was a blast, but I feel like games these days are intentionally short to pad out the dlc. Watching the credits, I saw places in San Andreas I never visited. The removal of los venturas and san fierro hurt. Really hurt. golly the fresno and salt lake they added, hell I'd be happy if san fierro got the North Yankton treatment. Just one chase across that bridge...
The heists were dope. I felt invested, and never cheated. Lester was a cold fool, but he pulled his weight.
Trevor...
Trevor never paid off. He went from a growing inferno to "maybe the other two should kill him off, to protect themselves".
His heist is pointless, and derails his dream, as described in the road trip to vinewood.
After that, it's just a grudge against merryweather security.
Franklin got the most payoff, and it wasn't even through the main storyline. By buying the cab company, he makes something of himself, and only has to work one day a week. Not bad for a "legitimate" business man.
Michael is a god damn tragedy. He realizes his true dream in life, finds the son he wishes he had, and then is cut off from him by success.
And if he lives, it's back to that garbage fire of a family.
Essentially, I wish they had just done franklin justice. The character swap was a gimmick, and often walled, with "exile" or "you can't play as him now".
Grove street though? That mission was amazing. The beating heart of GTA V.
And no bless'ed bowling! I didn't even have to golf, just drop a cab fare there.
