The Best Characters In Every Grand Theft Auto

The lack of Yusuf from TBoGT hurts my soul. 😢 Man dropped everything just to give Luis some last minute cover fire in his freaking *attack helicopter* with *zero* hesitation. He definitely should have been considered among those who are most loyal to the protagonists. It's one awesome example of his boisterous, bombastic, extravagant, fun-loving, and hilariously out of touch personality. It also helps that his missions brought back the over-the-top action and spectacle that was missed during GTA IV and The Lost and the Damned.

Little Jacob and Badman alone have more charismatic and believable writing than most I would say.

20 years later and I still can't believe how good the cast of San Andreas is.

I don't know why you chose Lamar over Michael. Lamar is quite a simple character. He grew up in the hood and became affiliated with gangs at a (we can assume) pretty young age. He is a firm believer that the gang life is all he has and he very much enjoys the gang culture and shows no intentions of ever leaving that life behind unlike Franklin. He never really goes through an ark and is practically the same character at the end of the game as he was in the beginning. Not saying that Lamar is a bad character, I love Lamar. He is def one of my favorite GTAV characters. But Michael is far more complex and interesting as a character. He is pretty much THE main character of the game and everything revolves around him and his choices. If it wasn't for Michael, Franklin would still be participating in low-life gang violence and would have probably ended up dead at some point. Trevor would still be living in that trailer cooking meth. Michael also goes through a lot of change throughout the story. At first he hates his family and thinks that he is better than all of them. He yells at Jimmy for sitting and playing his video games all day but then goes and watches old movies and sits by the pool all day. He hates Amanda for "cheating" on him (they pretty much have an open marriage) but he is the first one to cheat. But after he spends some time away from them (when he gets stuck in the desert) he starts to realize that he actually loves them despite their flaws and starts to actually miss them. He goes through an ark and realizes that his family is fucked up because he is fucked up. I could go on and on but one other aspect about Michael that I like is that he goes from this selfish dude that takes the majority of the score for himself to giving up his part of the pay to the other crew members after he is called out for being selfish by Franklin (and previously by Trevor when they were stuck in the desert) I actually love that scene with Michael and Trevor where Trevor points out how it's typical for Michael to immediately worry about himself and make everything about him and Michael realizes that he does do that and apologizes to Trevor for it. Michael just goes through the most change, from accepting his family and doing everything to get them back, to accepting his life as a criminal instead of pretending to be a normal person and by eventually burying the hatchet with Trevor. He is the most complex and interesting character of the game for me.

The content you make is literally the best of its kind

Niko Bellic has been my favorite GTA character since 2008. Such an interesting and complex character who doesn’t really get a happy ending by the end of the game. Thank you for the video man, keep up the great work and take care!

Damn you Berkeley

Yet roman never called me for.bowling never

GTA 3: Salvatore Leone LCS: Also Salvatore GTA VC: Tommy Vercetti VCS: Lance Vance SA: Mike Toreno GTA IV: Niko Bellic TLAD: Johnny K TBOGT: Luis Lopez GTA V: Lamar

Toni Cipriani does have a good trait in him: loyalty, and LCS kind of shows you the downside of being loyal. Even though his Ma took out a contract on him, and Salvatore even pull a gun on him during his peak paranoia moment (without an apology), Toni literally soldiered on to earn their approval. Someone who is not loyal would have said "screw that" and left them to their devices, but not Toni. Even then, Toni's loyalty was not rewarded, cause even after moving heaven and earth to put Salvatore on top of the food chain, Salvatore still screwed him over, not by killing him, but cheating him half of the promised money.

This was a really good video. Thanks for making it

The fourth nomination deserved to go to Yusuf Amir in TBoGT probably the least corrupt rich guy in the whole GTA universe and even helped Luis against Bulgarin!

Lil Jacob wagwan ras

39:55 *Niko Bellic is one of the best developed (GTA) characters, inspired by the fictional character of Sasha Ivanic (from the movie "Behind the enemy lines") and it also looks that He was created to some extent to resemble Boško Radonjić also known as "The Yugo" , a real life Serbian immigrant criminal that was operating in New York in the '70s ,* *He's arrival by the boat in LC kinda reminds of the arrival of Antonio Montana in the movie SCARFACE.* *One more fun fact, Grand Theft Auto Vice City stories plot is also more adult , tragic , showing that the life of a criminal can have damaging consequences*

8:12 *Fun facts about Vice City : It seems that the Forellis are the 3D era Gambinos ,so Sonny is the 3Ds Gotti , although I can't be 100% sure that the Gambinos were the 1st Italian - US crime organization in Miami ,* *Tommy's based on : Tony Montana and Joseph Ianuzzi Jr. however there's also a possibility that Jon Roberts (born John Riccobono) that supposedly was a Gambino soldier , was also taken as an inspiration to the creation of Tommy, while the original Vercetti's appearance was reminiscent of Ray Liotta , the Definitive Edition bears more similarity to Vincent Gigante who was the boss of the Genovese crime family on the other hand* *Upon further investigating the Gambinos and Florida , I found out another parallel 'tween Tommy and Joseph Armone this time, as Gotti have sent 'em in '86 to Florida in order to supervise the Gambinos interests in there* *Adding to the fact of Ianuzzi Jr. working for Gambinos , Thomas Agro to whom Ianuzzi was owning money to , was Gambinos consigliere and worked under the aforementioned Joseph Armone!* *I've something more , something that I ain't seen coming , well there was another guy related to the Gambinos making moves in Miami, before '70s and his name was Thomas Altamura , and that's not all , it turns out that beside being a Mobster he owned a food place that was called ... Sonny's Restaurant , ....and he had close ties with Santo Trafficante , coincidence? , his mugshot looks suspiciously familiar ain't it ??*

Just itched my head 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Vic and Niko would get along very well

Thank you.

Keep it up

The Colombians kidnapped and killed.both the old oriental.gentleman and love

Kind of surprised that GTA Advance didn't get nominated when it was referenced in the three section but to be fair barely any of those characters stuck out.

Love your vids dude keep it up!!!

How could you not nominate Tony the parrot.

I hope when you have time to make a video about gta 1 and gta 2 i know its from 2D era but just a video about them well i know you say in this video you didnt play them i play them in my childhood was just some lots of missions from phones and i know bla bla was lots of missions and how about manhunt 1 and manhunt 2 reviews :)

For me, it‘s Ken Rosenberg in Vice City. I really like Catalina too, because she‘s such a psychopath. Phil Cassidy is also iconic and had such great moments. Lil Jacob from IV is great, I love Michael from V, he‘s the first family man and has the most interesting dynamics.

I hope u do the mission with Frankie and Derick

Honestly the most annoying part of GTA IV is trying to drive to a mission or just going on a rampage and getting a call from Roman to go bowling

what is the name of the music you played during your Patreon Ad (around 35:15)? it's beautiful.

Zero is number 1 out of 10 nominees. It makes perfect sense because you can't make 10 without a 0, which is also paired with the number 1. Zero is the true GOAT of the GTA series lol.

Philip Michael Thomas is very entertaining. Kinda sad he disappears after Miami Vice (I like Tubbs a little bit more than Crockett btw). Guess he was too busy making babies (14 children iirc).

a great video as always. Btw man, I think you could have used some clips from the mission "Roman's Sorrow" which, at least for me, shows how a criminal like Niko affects normal people like Roman, who work honestly for his pay since he got to the city, unlike Niko who immediately got his hands dirty.

The thing about Claude is that although they didn’t bother creating a character for him, they unintentionally made him (imo) one of the most unique characters in video games. He is completely silent, cold-blooded, emotionless. He is the embodiment of a psychopath with obvious signs of alexithymia. He always has an expressionless face probably because he just never feels anything. I really can’t think of another character who is similar to him.

The homie

GTA SA takes place about 9 years before GTA3 meaning Claude and Catalina dated for about as long. That means Claude put up with and possibly even enjoyed "the rack" as well as all of Catalina's other antics (sexual or otherwise) for 9 years. As far as gta protaganists go he's probably the craziest(and maybe freakiest too) just for that fact alone. I personally don't think Trevor, who I think most people would think of if asked who the craziest gta character is, would even be able to deal with her. That man is hiding so much of his crazy just by being mute that people usually don't think of him as one of the crazier gta protags, at least not right away. He never shows remorse for anything he does and has no hesitation when doing bad things. He's really similar to the GTA Online player characters in that way. Which is kind of cool cause he can actually be your online character's father.

Well at least you didn't pick the traitor

How does your GTA V look so good? What version are you playing? On what system?

Bro left out Yusuf Amir

Is Guiness in the process of transitioning M to F? Asking because of the voice change. Not trying to be disrespectful.

Loving this best and worse series of gta videos

I have a blind and special needs brother. As such, Woozie resonates with me a lot, seeing a blind character be so bad-ass. In my opinion, the blind jokes are a little shallow, but definitely not cringe. Infact. I'm happy that my favorite gaming franchise has a blind character that's so respectable. He's blind, not stupid. Love it

I always found myself greatly relating to Johnny and CJ, but I guess you don’t like them very much, which is fine, I guess. I personally find Tommy extremely overrated and plain unlikeable at times and can honestly attribute that “above all else, is loyal to himself” to Tommy as well. I agree with GTA 3’s nominations as well as GTA VC but perhaps you could’ve picked Cortez or even Sonny due to the lore he has. I like your SA nominations but as I said I think CJ is a relatable character, and I also found Sweet very relatable. I also like Smoke and Ryder a lot. I also love your GTA 4 and VCS nominations but I think Dimitri and Armando Mendez also deserves a spot. As for TLAD, I love Johnny so I was disappointed that he didn’t make it to the nomination. He’s the only Jewish protagonist in the series and that alone makes him unique as well as his heart of gold despite being a hardened criminal and not a psychopath like Claude, Tommy or Toni. I also love Jim and Billy but Billy is a bastard like you said. In TBOGT I find Mori to be extremely hilarious. I also greatly appreciate Bulgarin’s role.

Trevor might have been fine if you didn't have to play him. He's the first GTA character that makes me wish I could play THE LAW. Franklin is my fave GTA protagonist, just because of the "What have I got myself into" aspect of his personality.

Here is mine GTA 3: Joey GTA VC: Cortez GTA SA: Ryder (Not a traitor btw) GTA LCS: Salvatore GTA VCS: Luis GTA 4: Little Jacob GTA TLAD: Johnny GTA TBOGT: Luis GTA 5: Lamar

CJ didn't even get nominated? Wtf

Question is this another person doing the videos cos the voice is different

Lcs.toni is better also lcs Toni voiced the ammu nation clerk in sa

Views/likes ratio. C'mon people, it's a LIKE button, HIT IT! How hard is it?😅

Claude is literally the driver from drive.

Yusuf amir got robbed here

I rly disagree on gta 4 and dlcs

Blind not stupid black not Chinese

When I was a kid I was too stupid to get far in Vice City so my favorite character was Lance Vance, in the early part of the game he came off to me as cunning, intelligent, charismatic and most importantly, cool. I wouldn't find out until later that he's a whiny lazy (still charismatic) dude essentially. Honestly he might be part of the reason I have a mustache because I always thought he looked awesome with one LOL.

A few close ones but mine would be: 3: Asuka Kasen Vice City: Tommy Vercetti San Andreas: Mike Toreno LCS: Salvatore Leone VCS: Vic Vance IV: Niko Bellic LAD: Ray Boccino BOGT: Yusuf Amir Chinatown Wars: Huang Lee V: Michael De Santa

Jim wasn't in gta 4 that's not jim nah Jim got.killed off screen

Tony is one of the top 4 worst characters of GTA Online

I think Trevor is easily the best GTA V character but Lamar is close second.

Gerry was way better than Packie
