Really? I thought the story was incredibly bland, and I had to force myself to finish it just to stop the nagging feeling that I'm missing something.

• Michael - just a terrible, controlling person; I don't want him to get rich, I want him to get killed by the people I'm forced to get him to escape from
• Trevor - kind of interesting, but without getting more into his backstory (e.g. how did he become like that), he's just a sociopath
• Franklin - most interesting since he has that entrepreneur drive, but once you get the house, he just kinda hangs out in his swimming pool/mansion, and doesn't do anything proactive; basically, he just kinda gives up on his dreams once he makes it big

For plot, it's basically the same as other GTAs:

1. Do small time illegal stuff
2. Try something bigger - get busted (usually someone betrays you)
3. Work for FIB to out mutual opponents
4. Do the big thing and fight it out with the FIB

There are lots of opportunities to make the story truly interesting, but they didn't do it. For example:

• Trevor - would've loved to see something like SA's turf warfare as he breaks into the SA drug scene; also would've looked to see some backstory and how he became so crazy
• Franklin - should've started a dealership reselling stolen cars; maybe use it as a front for Lamar's gang desires - I'd love an option to do turf warfare between Trevor and Franklin
• Michael - not that interesting, he should have been a supporting character

But no, the story left me disappointed.
