I wanted to kill him the entire game - he was completely insane and a bigger threat to everyone else than most of the actual bad guys. So many cool things they could have done. Or hijacking Westin's plane as he's flying out of the country, Dark Knight Rises style. I mean, it kinda did with the Union Depository heist, but I would have like an even bigger heist where you have to infiltrate FIB HQ again to kidnap/assassinate Haines, but reinforced with heavy security since the prior heist. Felt very uneventful compared to some of the other missions that came towards the end of the game. Instead, the three characters just drive to various destinations and clap Haines, Strech, Cheng, and Weston with relative ease. The mission in which Merryweather, FIB, Michael, and Trevor fight it out at the Observatory felt more like a game-ending scenario. That character is one of the best characters that Rockstar has ever made, but I find him the least relatable of the three. If that did happen, I probably would have went back to my last save and chose to kill off Trevor. Given how GTA IV ended, I though C meant Franklin would die. I picked C, but remembered turning off my console and restarting the game so that I could save before making that decision and going on with the mission. What ending did you chose? How was it for you? Are you happy now? Divulge. Can't wait to jump in tomorrow and blow my 3x 25 millions on real estate and vehicular toys. I'm positively gaga for GTA V! A total winner.

What Rockstar built with GTA V's gameworld, the technical artdirection and minute detail of it - absolutely mindblowing. Loved the credit sequence with the postcard-style shots of Los Santos et environs and the choice pieces of music playing. I left tonight's session with the broadest grin imaginable. Then again, I'm a sucker for Happy Endings. I guess another *Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid*-type of ending wasn't in the books this time around - at least for me (dunno how A. While I loved the catharsis of finally killing all these grade A assholes, it felt a bit like a cop-out. I'd rather have seen them all die in glorious battle - I mean they've done it all anyways - than giving either the FIB douchebag or the even douchier Billionaire douchebag the satisfaction of getting their way.
