I've complained about this before but having Franklin choose to kill Michael makes no sense given the story told. But in what way does the narrative make sense that he would want to kill Michael? I could see if there were some moments where it was teased throughout the 3rd act of the game that Michael may betray him simply to save himself and his family, he wouldn't want to do it but Franklin feels he needs to strike first. However I don't remember anything, and if you choose to kill Michael, you get convinced by Weston, who you hate and with little motivation. Was there any story cut that would explain this better? Did I miss anything?

The defenses from the community have been that there are reasons that happen but are very subtle. And yes I know what those were and I understood Michaels history but imo story elements like this should not be subtle if they are asking you to make a huge decision like this. They should have shown more impact on Frankiln and Michael's relationship after learning he rolled over on Trevor once before, it would have taken some of the ambiguity out of the decision. Or have Michael contemplate whether he may have to betray him eventually. I understand a game not wanting to spoon feed information but you shouldn't have to rely on deep character analysis after the fact to understand the plot. There should have been more clear reasons why you may feel compelled to pick that option but there weren't

1: Trevor wouldn't fall for such an obvious ambush by Franklin.

2: In the mission, Trevor immediately raises his hands when Franklin raises his weapons, just like any ordinary person. Okay, that was the "right" thing to do, but Trevor wouldn't do it that way. He was clearly scared and trembling; it's not like a bunch of sons of bitches were pointing guns at him every week. Trevor could have thrown his hands up, but not with that helplessness and confusion, as if he were just any gangster; he wouldn't do that.

3: He doesn't even try to shoot Franklin while fleeing in the car. He's obviously capable of shooting while driving since he does it all the time, but he didn't, for some reason. He just ran away like a scared coward, which he's not.

4: In the Prologue, Trevor survives and is completely fine when a train hits his car. But in the end, he's simply so injured that he can't get up anymore when Michael crashes his car into his at normal speed, a strange contradiction.

Clearly, a rushed and poorly done ending. The same goes for ending B.

One thing I hope is improved in GTA 6 is the logic for how wanted police attention is earned. Its almost never based on witnesses, stealth, proximity. Here's the most egregious example. On each fresh spawn (wake up in the hospital, fresh character swap), you can walk outside and shoot one person in the head for free without ever getting a wanted level. Walk out of the hospital, walk into the street, and dome someone in a crowd. No wanted level. Immediately shoot a second person? 100% chance you will get a wanted level. Walk out of the hospital and shoot 2 people with 1 sniper bullet? Instant wanted level. Car jack someone then shoot them? wanted level.

I hate that in a game supposedly about planning crimes, there's zero reward for doing crimes in a sneak fashion. Whether or not you get the police is a very simply like if/then table and its super soulless. Hell I don't even know if suppressors on guns fucking do anything.

Whenever I used to play GTA I always just stayed in director mode because I found combat really really difficult on my controller (I played it on PS4 many years ago).

Since then I’ve played RDR2 about 5 times through and I’ve become very good at weapon combat. This made me wonder, are the combat mechanics in GTA at all similar to Red Read when on keyboard? I’d like to play GTA in story mode and, given that I have gotten used to RDR2 combat, will I struggle?
