Rockstar A developer whose reputation precedes it. Responsible for many of the most iconic and successful single-player games of the past two decades, the company is known for its strong writing, detailed open-worlds, and the breathtaking realism of its latest releases. Red Dead Redemption 2.
That said, Rockstar's games can take many different forms, despite many overlapping elements. For example, while GTA and red dead While both are series that pride themselves on expansive open-world environments and side content, the latter is more quiet and self-serious, preferring realism over bombastic action set pieces or over-the-top theatrics, which can't be said for many. GTA Games. This flexibility has allowed Rockstar to approach many of its stories with distinct objectives, making them tonally and narratively distinct, and leading to a wide range of stories starring all kinds of main characters, some more charming than others.
S-Tier Rockstar Game Hero
- Arthur Morgan – Red Dead Redemption 2
- Niko Bellic – Grand Theft Auto 4
Arthur Morgan is not only the best hero of any Rockstar game, but one of the greatest video game heroes of all time. His grief, guilt, and self-loathing are subtle and complex, but still easy to understand, making him simultaneously relatable, likable, and loathsome, and his journey from ruthless criminal to repentant hero is consistently compelling. Brought to life by Roger Clark's incredible voice work and realistic facial movements courtesy of Rockstar's animators, Arthur is the best part of it all. Red Dead Redemption 2And among Rockstar's greatest achievements.
Not far behind him is Niko Belik, the star of Grand Theft Auto 4. In a game that takes a decidedly more basic approach than its predecessors, Nico injects the story with life thanks to his deadpan sense of humor and an undercurrent of cold, clinical violence, which he uses only when necessary and without fun. Like Arthur, he is troubled by a traumatic past, having experienced war in his country. He pursues the American dream, and is betrayed and disappointed many times, but his heart of gold shines through the story's darkest moments, exemplifying his resilience in the face of adversity.
A-Tier Rockstar Game Hero
- John Marston – Red Dead Redemption
- Carl 'CJ' Johnson – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Tommy Vercetti – Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
distinguished Red Dead Redemption Hero John Marston would have made the cut for S-Tier, had it not been for his successor, Arthur Morgan, who had overtaken him. Still, Marston shouldn't be discounted, as his singular story sees him set on a dusty, messy warpath, trying to right the wrongs of his past and provide a better future for his family. His tragic end, with his extended characterization in Red Dead Redemption 2It helps to make him a memorable and versatile hero, who, while not as complex as Morgan, is charming. His heartbreaking and cruel fate may be unfair, but it narrows him down to a redeemable person who just couldn't put his past behind him.
There are many great heroes GTA series, not least of which is from CJ and Tommy GTA: San Andreas and GTA 3respectively. It's an honor to be Tommy GTA’s first voiced protagonist, and while he isn’t as complex as Nico Bellic, his tale of revenge and ascent through the criminal underworld is entertaining and reminiscent of a classic mob flick. Goodfellas. CJ, on the other hand, channels West Coast gangster culture, and his experiences with violence and poverty drive his criminal behavior. He is motivated by justice and grief over the deaths of his family members, which allows the audience to connect with him and forgive his more unpleasant actions.
B-Tier Rockstar Game Hero
- Jimmy Hopkins – threat
- Cole Phelps – LA Noire
- Trevor Phillips – Grand Theft Auto 5
- Michael de Santa – Grand Theft Auto 5
Maybe it can be chalked up to her age, though threatThe hero is less complex than many other rockstar heroes, even if there is more to him than first meets the eye. Jimmy had an appearance threat Shows potential more than anything, with him being remarkably mature for his age, but otherwise a fairly standard, young hero in unfortunate circumstances. Similar criticisms can be leveled against LA NoireCole Phelps, who, while not without his personal demons, is something of a boilerplate detective character, prioritizing justice and truth above all else. Admirable, yes, but not consistently interesting.
Trevor and Michael are obsessed with sharing the spotlight GTA 5. They are easy to understand and often highly entertaining, but also one-note and unpleasant. This is especially true for Trevor, who is usually a source of shock or gross-out humor rather than a fully fleshed-out, versatile character. work for GTA 5’s over-the-top tone and setting, but will likely struggle in stories that take themselves more seriously.
C-Tier Rockstar Game Hero
- Franklin Clinton – Grand Theft Auto 5
- cloud – Grand Theft Auto 3
- Red Harlow – Red Dead Revolver
Franklin Clinton, while certainly the most likable of the three GTA 5 The hero, too, is the most one-dimensional; Michael is at least struggling to force his story to his family, and Trevor's unpredictability makes him fun to watch, but Franklin is a bit too milquetoast in comparison. The game hints at some of the struggles in his life, but they aren't treated with the respect or attention needed to make them motivating.
If Franklin is bland, Claude is completely tasteless. A silent protagonist, he is a vessel through which the character can experience the game world rather than a character in his own right. His desires and motivations are shrouded in his silence, and while this gives him a certain charm, it hardly elicits an emotional response. Red Harlow, though not a silent hero, is similar, and his tough exterior and quest for revenge are derivative of other western stories. Lacking the weaknesses of characters like Jon and Arthur, he is the weakest hero. red dead trilogy.
