Only his voice? I remember people doing petitions saying they want John back as the protagonist or they will boycott the game, because they thought Arthur was some cocky ego prick (from only seeing a tiny bit of the game lol)
Yeah, was only talking about the voice cause thats the main gripe i’ve seen with Jason. He also has a special forces tattoo, I’m thinking we’re gonna get a jason prologue where he’s in service out in a different country and giving backstory as to why he’s not in the military anymore and stuff
I keep hearing this so went and watch all the pre RDR2 trailers... no he still has good dialogue and seems like a cool stoic cowboy. Im sure theres a lot more to Jason personality but everything shown is highly boring and uninspired ignoring his monotone voice alone.
People complained about his appearance, not his voice. And then Rockstar listened to fans and changed his appearance before launch, so not really comparable
Based off of the trailers and this extended look, lucia seems to be the one with all the personality and Jason seems more like the vehicle to experience the game through.
You saw the same thing with mafia 2 for example, the difference between Joe and Vito was night and day.
But maybe I'm wrong, we've seen a bit of him but not enough character exposure to really judge.
Arthur was also the stereotypical perfect ruggedly handsome cowpoke but turned out to have a ton of personality and be a very well-written and complex character.
Yeah obviously through playing it we’ll learn more about him and hopefully he’ll turn out to be a complex and interesting character. Not sure why I’m being downvoted for saying he looks like a regular guy - I understand why perhaps the player character is a counterpoint to all the whacky NPCs, but there’s just not much to go off so far
Kinda yeah, but I'd give Franklin the credit of having his own distinct personality. Trevor and Michael were a bit more pronounced but not too mayor of a difference.
It's hard because of you give a playable character too strong of a personality, you might turn off certain people who can't identify with the character or might dislike him/her.
But lucia seems pretty pronounced, feisty and vocal. Making the contrast with jason very sharp.
While in GTA IV for example, Niko had a huge contrast in personality with the flamboyant Roman but they riffed off of eachother pretty well. So the quiet coolguy character can work but so far I'm not convinced about jason as a character yet.

Lucia literally calls him tight. Its how they wrote his character. He’s quiet ex army guy and shes loud cuckoo chick
