A fatass CJ playthrough is mandatory honestly, it's hilarious.

Isn't keeping CJ perma-fat and in a relationship with one of his women (who will only date CJ if he's a fat fuck) the only way to ensure you don't lose ALL of your weapons when you either die or get arrested?

Nah, collecting all the oysters and dressing really snazzily will do the same thing.

Though doesn't the nurse like muscly guys? It's the cop who likes fatties.

Nah hillbilly was the most annoying. You couldn't be too fat, too muscly or too scrawny.

Wait, you're right I'm mixing them up I think. The Hillbilly was a lawyer not the nurse and the tai chi chick was the nurse right?

Climbing Rotterdam Tower while taking down police choppers, fleeing in a golf cart from mafia goons (after shooting golf balls at a goon tied to one of the golf carts), taking down a yacht with a stolen attack chopper, blowing up a subway car and construction crane to get rid of witnesses, and raising hell in a stolen SWAT APC were also great moments.

Rockstar really knocked it out of the park with TLAD and TBOGT, damn shame they got complacent with GTA Online.

Agreed on TBOGT, but I've always found TLAD underwhelming. 90% of the characters in that DLC are either bland, annoying, unlikeable or all of the above.

Granted, GTA V didn't help by essentially hitting the self-destruct switch on everyone who survived that DLC.

Or getting the 50 oysters.
 
Yeah, I never bothered with them even after collecting all of the oysters. Glad the game let's you 100% it even without maxing up every relationship.

Also you could straight up murder Millie and take her keycard if you didn't want to max her relationship for the casino heist.

You didn't even need to max Millie. Just halfway for her car as you already got a gimp suit for your troubles.

TBoGT is the start of Rockstar focusing on per-mission spectacle.

In GTA IV there were a ton of missions where you just drove to a place, picked a guy up, drove another and killed some guys. A lot of it blended together and was forgetful. TBoGT had most of the missions involve spectacles and unique setpieces, like the Rotterdam mission, the golf mission, the helicopter boat assault. That way you remembered it and it spiced things up. GTA V had this as well, so even missions like getting Jimmy back from those guys who he sold Michael's yacht to involves Jimmy hanging off the side of the boat on the freeway and having to catch him.

These little things really helped spice up the missions. I just wish Rockstar could make missions that didn't force you down a very specific path with no options at risk of failing.

I did like Johnny and Billy's dynamic in TLAD, but the rest of the cast could've used some work, they tried somewhat with Jim but in the end his death doesn't hit hard. It's odd, too, cause i remember one of the features there being that you can take different members with you in missions, they'd upgrade to better weapons the more you took them, and there's permadeath if they get rubbed off. Feels like they put the grounds for a load of characterization but forgot to add the characters themselves

TBOGT has it inverted though, the supporting cast is amazing, but Luis falls short as the protagonist himself, and like the cast of TLAD, there are some grounds in there, he has some backstory, can interact with his family, time in prison... But in the end it just feels like the dude is just there while the plot moves on and revolves around Tony and the rest of the secondary characters.

Know for sure very little fan tears would've been shed if it was Luis who got offed in 5 instead of Johnny

To be fair, I did feel Vice City did this pretty well too.

It just reminded me of discount Sons of Anarchy (which might not be the fairest comparison as SoA had 7 seasons whereas TLAD had one game expansion), I kind of wish there was more getting to know the members of the club before shit starts to fall apart. That's something Red Dead Redemption 2 nailed, as even the secondary characters got some time to shine in parts of the story.

I do like Luis though. I appreciate he's a tough guy trying to do the right thing in a surrounding environment of crazy characters after fucking up in the past (granted we did see that in Vice City Stories with Vic Vance) and has some good lines.

That's Barbara the cop, and iirc you don't need to stay fat or anything to keep that perk of not losing weapons on getting Busted (Millie in SF is for keeping weapons on dying as stated above), in fact I think you can literally get a jet at the airport at the beginning of the game, crash where Barbara spawns and go talk to her and become her boyfriend, then just die (cause 4 stars) and you forever have that perk of keeping weapons. You can do the same for Millie too at the start of the game as well I'm sure.
 
My best friend brought over Grand Theft Auto V when it first came out, and I said I probably wouldn't like it because it's not my kind of game. Two hours in, and I'm like, "Holy fuck, I want to adopt Michael!" It's now my favorite game. Haven't played any others in the series, though.

San Andreas is probably the best, but for every game before V has their quirks.

San Andreas and earlier have really bad shooting, make you drive back to the mission start and you lose all your weapons with no checkpoints ok death.

IV also has no checkpoints and infamously slippery driving and bad walking controls.

However, if you can get over these issues, they're both great games. As are the Episodes from Liberty City.
