IDK, it looks like they addressed my main complaint about GTA 5: unlikable characters. I wanted to like Franklin, and Trevor was at least initially interesting, but their arcs were just so disappointing.

This game has two protagonists, they seem to have some chemistry, and the brief hints of story seemed to have promise.

I'll was planning to not buy GTA VI due to the apparent focus on online recently, but I'll wait to see reviews to see if they make a more interesting SP experience than GTA V.

How was Trevor likable in GTA5? He is a psycho.

Likeable in the sense that he was interesting. I especially liked his epilogue (if you let him live) where you find out he has mommy issues, which gives a hint as to what broke inside him. He made me uncomfortable, and that's interesting.

Michael on the other hand was just your garden variety narcissist. That's not interesting to me.

Franklin was interesting because he seemed to have internal drive to break the cycle of poverty he was in. He wanted the American dream, any he was willing to work for it. But he ultimately disappointed me by losing that drive once he made it big (e.g. every time I'd switch to him late game, he'd be in his pool or something).

I wanted DLC to expand on Trevor and Franklin, because I think that could be make them both more interesting.
