Hello, yes, it's me again with another GTA thread lol!
Apologies if your personal fave isn't a poll option, there are only so many options that you can have for one poll.
Anyway, the answer is Niko Bellic.
Followed by Franklin and then CJ/Trevor (they're tied for third).

The guy from 3 because silent characters are my favorite.
Otherwise Trevor because his personality fits with how most people seemingly play GTA.

Niko most relatable despite being in the worst GTA
Tommy vercetti a close second in terms of personality and character
After that for me it's CJ, Michael and Franklin
I hate Trevor

only 3 votes for Michael? wth?
he's like clearly the best.
such a funny wreck of a man with some hilarious family interactions.
and the voice actor Ned Luke is just perfect as him.
i don't think Lucia or Jason will have a chance to replace him as my favorite either..
they dont seem funny at all sadly :/

Niko was the most relatable, yes.
I always thought that the main character of a GTA game being a war vet made perfect sense for all the stupid chaos you do in these games (which, granted, is still unrealistic for a vet), and his arch was pretty great.
Too bad if you play that game you have to endure Roman's constant calls to go bowling or something like that

I don't care for Niko and thought that gta iv's story was overrated.
The guys from V aren't as boring but they still are somewhat boring, and I didn't care for their story.
I prefer Tommy and CJ simply because they were both more fun.
Of the two I prefer Tommy because of Ray Liotta.

CJ's the best.
He's reluctantly thrown into fucked up situations due to the harsh world he lives in, all the while complaining about how fucked up it is through the game.

lol they won't.
also you're saying that as if trevor and patricia's fling isn't the best part of gta 5 ;)
Besides, having a central romance, or even a romance at all, is not really something Rockstar has done outside of GTA 4 and Bully, at least to this extent.
It's something different at least, and we love to see that.
