The story happened all because Lamar doesn't get employee of the month

Another thing I love about Deathwish, is how at the beginning Franklin says "It seems like people are always telling me to do stuff, I do it, and nothing changes." At the end, Devin tells Frank to kill Michael (and Trevor). In Deathwish, he makes his own choice, and gets a happy ending.

The fact that my dad, who hated video games and thought they were a complete waste of time, sat through the entirety of GTA V and was absolutely enthralled by it despite never actually wanting to play himself, says to me that it’s a successful story, maybe not absolutely brilliant but perhaps that it feels like a long form movie is enough.

It’s ironic how in this story Trevor, the most dangerous person in the room, is also the one you can trust the most. That adds a lot to his character. Edit: To all the 100+ people that keep replying, do you really think I’m gonna bother reading and responding to you on something I wrote over 2 years ago?

it’s funny that rockstar put out this message in story mode that they hate soulless cooperations but when you look at the current state of gta online it’s hypocrisy

I feel that deathwish is also Franklin making his own decision. Killing Trevor is what the FIB tell him to do. Devin Weston tells Franklin to kill Micheal. But death wish, it’s just Franklin. He controlled the ambush operation. He chose ending C

Even though Lamar and Franklin have similar but opposing mindsets on how to make serious money, Franklin cannot help but want Lamar around, because Lamar is the kind of friend everyone will have at one point in life: you may not have too much in common, you may not think the same way about anything, and you may never truly see eye to eye, but the experiences and surroundings you grew up together with are what bind you close like siblings. And to be honest, those are the best kind of friends. The ones that truly remember the things you’ve been through

"this game is about fighting back against the corporate world" ...and playing gtav online is showing that rockstar is a big part of it. Any more shark cards anyone?

I feel like GTA V's overall "message" is that chasing a materialistic life will leave you empty.

To me it’s kinda unfair that Michael is blamed for wanting to kill Trevor in the Prologue. You gotta remember the guy has a family, so when someone that crazy (Trevor) is associated with the father of a family, you can see why it made sense why Michael wanted him gone.

Ngl, the best part in the story (for me) is that family therapy mission, where Michael gathers his family up for a family session and then they get back together and the ending is just so wholesome for some reason... Also that mission might've had one of the best rage voice acting in all of everything

Beach in singleplayer: Nice LA beach with people sunbathing and running around Beach in online: O M A H A

Remember this all started because Micheal caught his wife cheating

Lazlow is more complicated than that. Hes been in the gta games for quite some time and his career is actually ridiculously fleshed out compared to anyone other character. Lazlow how been all over another form of media he can get his voice of face on. Hes gone through so many career shifts that it was inevitable he was would end up in Vinewood like this.

Michael wasn’t just looking out for himself, he was trying to help him and he genuinely cared about Franklin

This actually was quite insightful. However, anyone who doesn't always knock down the orange street dividers on the bridge is not to be trusted.

Welcome to Los Santos is such a good fucking song

5:15 “Animals are walking around” *cuts to Franklin and Lamar 💀
