CJ and De Santa from GTAV are probably the best, most fleshed out and dynamic characters in the series.

Rest are a little one-note, even if Vercetti is a lot of fun and Bellic is sympathetic.

Nearly perfect list, OP.

BONUS POINTS for Soul Reaver btw.

>women ever being "god tier"
lol

But seriously, can you even give a single argument for why all women aren't stupid, smelly, retarded whores who have no concept of long-term planning and will leave nice guys like me for fucking chads and their money. All women are worthless, if it weren't for the fact that procreation is needed to advance the human race, I'd have killed them all years ago and even now we're just a little far off from perfecting robotic poons so they're becoming superfluous as we speak. Why do you think there never were any strong female characters back in the olden days? Simple. Because the Earth has, is, and always will be a man's world. I'm so glad I was born a man because now I have a future and some use in society, unlike those fucking whores. I hate women, they're the scum of the Earth.
