As the story progressed, the entire city of Los Santos, the different fates of the three main characters, the supporting characters with different personalities … All of this was cleverly displayed in front of the players.
Many players who didn't know much about GTA would think of this game as a fun game.
Start with a dog, drive by robbing.
Buy it once, play it for a year without spending a single cent on equipment.
Come f * ck me in GTA if you're my brother!
In Chen Mo's previous life, many players played San Andreas when they first came into contact with GTA. At that time, there was no Chinese translation. Many middle and high school students played GTA in their own homes, but they were limited to stealing cars on the road, running over a few innocent passersby, or using a cheat code to summon a tank to rampage through the streets.
Even so, many people were still having fun. It was obvious that they were treating GTA as a normal game to play.
Indeed, one of the selling points of GTA was that players could do illegal things in the game that they couldn't do in real life. However, this wasn't all about GTA. It could even be said that this was only a small part of the game's content and playstyle.
Many middle and high school students only realized that there were quests in the game after learning a bit of English or looking up guides?!
The moment they did the quests, a whole new world was opened to them. They realized that this game was completely different from what they had played before!
There were all sorts of quests. There were assassinations, car racing, gunfights, there were even quests where the car had to be driven at high speed for a long time to be defused, and there were also quests where they had to fly a helicopter to cause trouble … Other than that, players could also buy various businesses in the map, such as bars and nightclubs. These businesses would continue to earn money for the player. After earning money, players could buy more businesses, better guns, and better cars …
In GTA 5, other than the original content being more colorful, the game's story had been polished to a greater degree.
The three main characters gathered together for various reasons. The three of them had helped paparazzi, driven a tow truck, worked as a movie producer, stole a plane, destroyed a gang, stopped a train, worked with the FBI, robbed the Federal Reserve …
The fates of the three people were intertwined with each other. Their different identities, statuses, and personalities reflected the current situation of different classes in America in this era. It could be said that this game was an in-depth analysis of America's society. Behind the seemingly absurd plot was a profound social reality.
Of course, Zou Zhuo hadn't reached that level yet. He was still immersed in the intricate storyline.
There were three main characters in GTA. How to tell the story of these three main characters well was an important topic in the early stages of the game. If the plot's rhythm wasn't handled well, it was likely that there would be favoritism. However, GTA's goal was to make the players like each of the three characters. Moreover, they had to use a smooth rhythm to string the three characters together. This was obviously a difficult problem.
From the beginning of the prologue, the fate of the protagonists was closely linked.
In the prologue, Mike became a snitch and faked his death to live a wealthy life.
Franklin sneaked into Mike's house to steal a car for Simon. As a result, he was taught a lesson by Mike, and the two sides became friends from then on.
Mike faced a serious mid-life crisis and had to return to his old business, so Franklin gradually became his good helper.
The jewellery store robbery exposed Mike, and Trev began to search for him.
In the process of the gradual convergence of the three lines, the characters' personalities and the difficulties they faced were shown through some scattered individual missions.
Franklin was a black man at the bottom of the society in Lighthouse. He longed to stand out and to live in his own mansion like Mike. The way he realized the value of his life was to learn from Mike and commit crimes. In the beginning, he helped Simon steal a car, but after being led by Mike, he devoted himself to bigger crimes.
Mike, on the other hand, was the representative of a mid-life crisis. Although he lived a carefree, rich life through the witness protection program, his wife cheated on him like crazy. After becoming a tennis coach, she became a yoga instructor. His son played games all day at home and even sold his yacht. Calling him a fat otaku was an insult to a fat otaku. His daughter wanted to be a star, and even got involved with some people with bad intentions.
Lao Chui was purer than these two people. He just wanted to destroy things. He valued his friends very much and had a sincere side. However, he was indeed a lunatic. He would kill a whole family if he didn't agree with him. Therefore, Trev's problem was that no one really treated him as a friend. Even Mike secretly regarded Lao Chui as a threat and hoped that he would die.
Strictly speaking, these three people were not the traditional kind of protagonists who were likable.
Franklin was a black man who was not handsome.
Mike was a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Lao Chui was a bald middle-aged man and a psychopathic murderer.
It was impossible to rely on their appearance to make the players like these three people. Therefore, the ability of character creation would be doubled at this time.
As the players went deeper into the story, they would feel that these three protagonists were quite cute. Especially in the first-person perspective, the players would habitually put themselves into the role. When they put themselves in the role, they would be able to understand the behavior of these characters.
When Zou Zhuogang played Trev's story, he was completely dumbfounded. This guy is also a fucking protagonist?
Mike had a particularly good saying, "I'm not a good person, but if you see Trev, you'll think I'm as pure as an angel."
When he saw the news about Mike robbing a jewelry store on TV, Lao Chui was having sex with someone else's girlfriend. Then Johnny came to the door. As a result, Lao Chui not only wanted to f * ck his girlfriend, but also wanted to f * ck him too … Then when Trev comforted Johnny and hugged him, he suddenly grabbed his neck and pushed him to the ground. Then, with a series of kicks, Johnny's brain was trampled out.
Not only did he kill Johnny, but he also killed all the gang members related to Johnny nearby. All of this was because Johnny found Trev and said, "You!"
fxxker”。
This plot was almost a textbook description of mental illness, because you could never guess what Lao Chui was going to do next. Many players who played the game for the first time were dumbfounded. How could such a psychopathic murderer be a main character?
But as the game went on, the players would find that Trev had a unique personal charm. He was not as timid and compromised as Mike. Whether it was an official or a gangster, those who dared to provoke him would directly carry a gun to slaughter the village. He was also very loyal and devoted to the people he cared about.
