CJ returning from Liberty city is once aging thrusted into gang life after the death of his mother. Carl JohnsonĬarl Johnson was when Rock Star really started to flesh out their main characters and it really shows in GTA San Andreas. He also plays of Franklin well and with a mentor type relationship. As a character Michael is good portrait of a criminals life after a successful career but still carving the action. But with Michael, you can take him out of the crime life but you cant take the criminal out of him. He is living the dream of most GTA charaters by succeeding in his life for crime and living in its spoils. Michael plays a very interesting role as a GTA charater by answering the question of what is next after the grand heist. Now we are getting to the best of the best that GTA has to offer. Topping of the unholy trinity of GTA 5 we have Michael De Santa. GTA Character Tier List: Michael De Santa Over all he is a good character but at time it feels like I’m playing CJ lite. On the other hand it feels like the way he is introduces to the main story is a bit too jarring and the fact that he just by chance meets Michael on a ”repo” job is a bit lazy. His story is one of trying to make more of his life then just another gang member. This personality really works well when paired with Michael shorter fuse or Trevor down right psychopathic like tensity. As a character Franklin is the ambitious yet calm new blood in the trinity. Franklinįranklin is one of the three main playable protagonists in GTA 5 also being the youngest out of them. What we have is a seemingly overly violent and random character with his most positive factor being the humor he inject into the game. Trevor feels like a character build from the top down with the thought of have a character that acted like the way the average player plays GTA. Trevor is a long time criminal and retired bank robber who spends his day up in Blaine County gun running and drug dealing. Out of all GTA protagonist he is probably one of the most divisive, being meet with both acclaim and anger. Trevor is the embodiment of how player really play GTA boiled down into a character. Having a main character of a GTA game finally talk and banter with the people around him does wonders to for Tommys characterization. Even if the story itself is not amazing it’s only the scaffolding for the character of GTA vice city to play of each other and Tommy. Tommy is the star of a pretty cookie cutter revenge plot that was kicked of by a deal gone wrong. Scar face similarity aside Tommy Vercettias a character is a major improvement of his predecessor largely due to him being one of the first fully voice acted protagonist in GTA. Next up we have a throw back with Tommy Vercetti from GTA Vice city. Now next on are GTA Character Tier List GTA Character Tier List: Tommy Vercetti The stellar voice dialog and voice acting from the other characters you meet along the way help mask his silents but it can not be over looked. Claude is over all a blank slate of a character largely due to being nearly mute for the entirety of his game. This isn’t because of what he says or how he acts be rather the opposite. As a character how every he sadly fall quite flat. So right from the start Claude from the game GTA 3 is the forerunner of the GTA 3D we know and love.
For any protagonist the jump from 2d to 3d can a treacherous one with many series not being able to make it.
