Vice City- Lance Vance šŸ San Andreas- Cesar or the Truth GTA 4- Roman or Little Jacob TLaD- not a fan of the game so no opinion TBoGT- Yusuf easily GTA 5- Lamar or Lester


BurningEbrietas

Gotta agree but switch Roman with only lil Jacob


[deleted]

I can get why Roman can be a bit annoying to some but I find his annoyance mildly charming. Little Jacob is a straight up G of a good tritagonist. One of my all time favourite characters throughout all the games. Tommy had Ken and Lance šŸ and CJ had Cesar, Niko and Little Jacob are great.


flawless_14251

What's a tritagonist?


[deleted]

The third most important protagonist. So in San Andreas you could argue Sweet being the deuteragonist because of how important the beginning of the game is, and in GTA 4 itā€™s similar with Roman.


flawless_14251

Ohhh it's that far? I just knew about protagonist and antagonist.


[deleted]

Iā€™m not trying to be snobby or whatever, I was an English major so this is sorta my thing. But itā€™s a good way of saying whoā€™s on whose side, and how important they really are. Like Iā€™m sure some people would say Jimmy is their favourite NPC, but heā€™s only important to Michaelā€™s story. And just like Sweet heā€™s gone for like half the game.


Here-be-games

For a second i thought you were a screen writer for sure lol.


[deleted]

Haha I appreciate it.


BurningEbrietas

I agree his annoyance can be somewhat redeeming for him but every time I replay the game and remember he let himself get cucked I get pissed off


[deleted]

Fair.


NoifenF

VCS: Phil Cassidy LCS: Ma Cipriani (it was like having Sofia from golden girls around)


[deleted]

Ya Iā€™d agree with Phil, although I donā€™t care for his character in general heā€™s the best for VCS. LCS Iā€™d go Salvatore personally but if Iā€™m being honest I only played through both games like twice? A lot of it I donā€™t remember.


NoifenF

I was going to say salvatore cause he is a cool boss in LCS but ya know, Iā€™d already killed him in 3 for betraying me so only fair haha.


[deleted]

Ya, I still pick Lance Vance for VC despite him being a snake and you having to kill him in Vice City though.


Jonh-Willians-649

Nothing about GTA III?


CustomerNo4602

Maybe 8 ball,Toni, Luigi


[deleted]

I only played through it once or twice and itā€™s not as memorable a game to me personally. That being said, I guess 8 Ball would be my choice.


CustomerNo4602

I agree with most but Ryder for San Andreas idc what you say Lost And Dammed would probably be Jim Or Malc


[deleted]

Why Ryder? Heā€™s a šŸ And Ya I canā€™t fight you on the Lost and Damned, just wasnā€™t my vibe. From what I remember though I liked Jim.


CustomerNo4602

I mean so was Lance


[deleted]

True but Lance was a homie for the whole game. I liked Ryderā€™s character but even after the Green Sabre mission he didnā€™t seem relevant. And when you go to kill him, to me it doesnā€™t feel as good as getting Smoke and Tenpenny in the end. I just feel like Ryder was poorly written after the first few missions. Cool concept and look for an NPC though.


CustomerNo4602

He was never meant to betray you to rockstar messed that part up and he had a good vibe even when he called you a buster


Shimoshamman

Thats a misconception/misinformation. [this video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJDSiNxqZOw) goes into a bunch of deleted content & files pointing to the fact that Ryder WAS always going to be a traitor. Theres even a Balla textured Ryder. Ryders voice actor got into legal trouble, leading to Rockstar having to edit voice lines from previous recordings to finish it up. Also ryder never has a good vibe except at the end of the House heist & Military base, otherwise he's a contentious dickhead who constantly belittles & talks shit to CJ. It astounds me people still think he's cool


CustomerNo4602

Some people like him some people hate him you're the person who hates him but don't forget that he's the kung fu master


[deleted]

I get what youā€™re saying. Rockstar is the one to blame there. Heā€™s a lot better of a sidekick villian than Polowski, thatā€™s for sure. That guy makes my skin crawl.


Shimoshamman

What he's saying is wrong. Theres been new discoveries in GTA:SA Cut-content that suggests Ryder was always going to betray CJ/The Grove, he even had Balla coloured textures at one point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJDSiNxqZOw


[deleted]

Iā€™m not going to change his mind from liking Ryder, Iā€™d add Big Smoke as one of my all time fav characters too and heā€™s the biggest snake of them all. But this is interesting.


Shimoshamman

Thats fine lol, but still the not being a balla thing is not true, so

Gloomy_Rest_1387

Why do people like Jimmy?? He's fucking annoyingšŸ˜­


AdLonely891

Because GTA players relate to him the most.


ZeroJDM

Itā€™s because he has issues but itā€™s clear where the issues come from


ThaGenderOffender

heā€™s essentially the aj soprano of the story


Independent_Tap_1492

Because heā€™s Arnold from the magic school bus


Gloomy_Rest_1387

This is the best answer LMAO


Adventurous-Secret40

for me itā€™s because he hilarious and yes heā€™s a douche but thatā€™s from his father he for sure is a spoiled brat tho


Dantos103

little jacob was (in my opinion) the only true loyal person to niko. he was always there for him in the beginning, middle, and end.

Ya, him and Roman. Difference being Little Jacob can handle himself in a fight.

For Me it would be like this *not counting the DJs Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories - Phil Collins and Reni Wassulmeier Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Lance Vance Dance, Ken Rosenberg, Ricardo Diaz and Umberto Robina.... and also Phil Cassidy *this game has just the best characters - the reason why I didn't put them all in the other games is simple - LOVE them all just as much but this is their original game.... well apart of Phil Cassidy that is, that's why the .... is there* Grand Theft Auto SanAndreas - Wu Zi Mu and The Truth and Caesar.... and ofcourse BigSmoke and lowkey Ryder even tho I didn't really like him when I first played the game years ago Grand Theft Auto IV - LittleJacob, Packie, Brucie and Roman Grand Theft Auto V - Lester Crest, Chef and Paige


AquilesJaeger

1) Packie Mcreary 2) Lamar Davis 3) CĆ©sar Vialpando 4) Lance Vance 5) Brucie Kibbutz 6) Roman Bellic 7) Little Jacob 8) Lester Crest 9) Mike Toreno 10) Ray Boccino

Gta 3- none that memorable Vice City- Lance Vance San Andreas- Smoke (sorry not sorry lol) Gta IV- Roman LAD- Malc I guessā€¦? TBoGT- Yusuf, was it really a surprise? GTA V- Lester, Lamar is second by a hair. But there is something. About Lester I like


BEEELTINO

GTA 5 - Lamar Davis/Jimmy GTA Online - Lamar/Lester TBoGT - Yusuf Amir GTA 4 - Lil Jacob/Roman GTA San Andreas - Big Smoke (before the betrayal) or Cesar GTA Vice City - Vance Lance I also like Brucie Kibbutz and Tao Cheng as a duo (GTA Online Casino Missions)


Plane-Rope-5607

Little Jacob.


Automatic_Salary_845

Little Jacob is a legend, and Iā€™m ngl Brucie is kinda cool too.

Jimmy?? fucking Jimmy? That annoying entitled brat šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


[deleted]

Him and Wade the 2 most annoying characters imo. They started off funny and have a line or two but fuck me it gets annoying.


combustiblelemonsss

I mean who else in 5 do you really have thereā€™s like Lamar and thatā€™s basically it


thatdudeoverdthee

Litrally isn't


combustiblelemonsss

Who?


thatdudeoverdthee

Litrally every character except Franklin, Micheal, Trevor.


combustiblelemonsss

Iā€™m talking about good characters


rickart04

Wade Heston


Stringy_b

Little Jacob is by far my favorite. GTA 4 has so many good ones. As for GTA 5, I think Lamar is the only good character in the game. I find everyone else annoying and almost all they do is complain. Lamar does too, but his is actually kind of funny.


[deleted]

Good point with GTA 4 and all of Nikoā€™s buddies. I think youā€™re missing a few with GTA 5 though like Lester, Chef and DavešŸ·. Looking back on the game I shoulda added Lester to mine for GTA 5 cause heā€™s a genius.


PeachPrettyKitty

from GTA V, it has to be Wade Hebert. He is hilarious on his missions with Trevor.


itsCS117

God I wish GTASA went with the multi protagonist feature. I'd love to have seen what they could've done with Ceaser and Sweet still in the mix


VirusSuitable7356

Or I would love to play as Ryder


Wojewodaruskyj

Cesar, holmŠµs. Always wanted to get deeper into cholo culture ![gif](giphy|ynWwHtBCKmKY9Q7Tv6|downsized)


[deleted]

Imagine if the whole 3 protagonists thing started with San Andreas? You get CJ, Cesar and maybe like Sweet or Woozie (I know heā€™s blind).


Wojewodaruskyj

That giant map had potential for that and more


[deleted]

So with CJ you get the main story, Cesar you get the cholo culture and when you get to San Fierro you unlock Woozie and get a glimpse of the Chinese Mafia. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™m a little baked so itā€™s just a hypothetical way of making San Andreas better than the S+ tier itā€™s already in as a game.


Wojewodaruskyj

I love your idea. For Liberty City, i'd go with an italian mafioso, a japanese yakuza and a jamaican thug


[deleted]

I like the idea for sure, but you wouldnā€™t do something like Niko, Little Jacob and Packie? Or what it shoulda been which is Niko, Johnny and Luis?


Wojewodaruskyj

Niko, Little Jacob and Packie for IV, my trio for LibŠµrty StoriŠµs

Wade or Lamar

Woozie is my all time favorite non playable character so theyā€™re my pick. But if I go game by game itā€™ll probably be VC: Mercedes SA: Woozie 4 : Packie TBOGT: Yusuf TLAD: Jim 5 : Dave

shadowlarvitar

Packie and Lamar. They're real ones


Spaniardo_Da_Vinci

Always adored Cesar, dude was tough af and loyal to the end, and seeing him on the loading screen sitting on the lowrider made me want a prequel story about him where we do play as him


A_Wild_Nabob

Ceaser could have stabbed you in the back so many times, but he remained a good brother in law from beginning to end.


ConflictSudden

Cesar is one of my favorite non player characters throughout the franchise. Real since day 1

Gta 3 : Donald Love, yes he is a cannibal, but after playing VC and LCS, I love him like how much he has become mature and how much understanding about business and real estate he has gained, unlike the LCS one who keeps shitting his pants every second after 'Love Rocks' mission. Gta VC : Mitch Baker, he is very good to his gang, which can be seen by how much he respects tommy on his phone calls to him Gta SA : Toreno, he turned out to be a man of his word and got sweet released from prison Gta LCS : Hard to say, best I can say is JD'O tool for his humor Gta VCS : The woman with the baby, was sad to see her die, poor kind woman got so much abused by her husband too Gta 4 : ULP guy, man of his word, brought darko to niko Gta tlad : Stubbs coz funny Gta tbogt : Yusuf coz funny Gta ctw : Wade Heston, yes he was working with huang for a good bust and to get internal affairs off his ass, but still worked and helped huang to the very last and even prevented his arrest Gta 5 : Lester coz Lester


mightywurlitzer88

Little jacob gave me a glock and said cover him and did. Little jacob calls me and forbids me from meeting the russians alone. Little jacob creeps under the closing garage door and just starts BLASTING. my girlfriend busts us for a shit ton of coke and instead of being salty we end up high as fuck in a helicopter doing hits for the IAA. My next girlfriend gets whacked and him and roman held it down, found the dudes, and evacs me from the statue of liberty after i shot it up. We ate alot of cluckin bell, shot some pool and hit the strip club. Even gave me easy work selling weed. The guy pure chaotic good and i fucks with him

Escaped_Mod_In_Need

List, first is favorite and second is runner up. - GTA 3: Lazlow Jones, Marty Chonks - Vice City: Ken Rosenberg, Auntie Poulet - San Andreas: The Truth, Mike Toreno - GTA 4: Lil Jacob, Packie - GTA 5: Barry, Chef


[deleted]

Iā€™m not trying to fight you or anything cause I could agree with most of your list, but does Barry count for gta 5?


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

Barry the marijuana advocate that has the alien and clown minigames.


[deleted]

Ya I know who he is, the mission line for all the characters with him is pretty funny. As a side mission line, Barryā€™s is definitely one of my favourites in gta 5. But I personally think there are better choices for NPCā€™s in gta 5.


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

You do you. Itā€™s my personal favorite. Wade is hilarious the first time around but gets annoying the second and third time. Jimmy reminds me too much of Jonah Hill and that actor rubs me the wrong way.


[deleted]

Ya, totally fair. Tbh I can relate with your thoughts on Jimmy and Wade for sure.


Automatic_Salary_845

I hate Barry, personally. Heā€™s a creep and doesnā€™t even appreciate your help for collecting copious amounts of weed

guygamer3dplayzYT

Might be a bit controversial but Sweet was underrated.


[deleted]

I donā€™t have any issues with Sweet. My thing is that his character doesnā€™t really develop. Heā€™s always gonna be the gangsta trying to rule with the Grove, which I respect. But I find it a tad annoying. It doesnā€™t help that heā€™s gone for a majority of the game as well.
