Best Grand Theft Auto Companions
Dwayne Forge
“Grand Theft Auto IV” (2008) You want someone who is a real beacon of positivity? Well…Dwayne can be, depending on how you see his views. Poor dude spent so much time in prison it affected his whole outlook on life. All he wants is someone to confide in and hang out with, someone he can count on. And yet, the guy has been mistreated his whole life and feels like he has no choice but to turn to dealing for a living. Dwayne really has a heart of gold; he’s just been done dirty by the world. So, yeah, we turned down bowling offers from SOME people just to show a bit of sunshine to Dwayne.
OG Loc
The 10 Weirdest Unlockables In Grand Theft Auto Games
“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (2004) Jeffrey–I mean, “OG Loc” is an interesting cat. On the one hand, the dude has a ton of confidence in himself. He thinks he’s all that, brags about his crappy rapping “skills” where all he does is talk about how “gangster” he is. And yet, the dude went to prison, works in fast food, and would rather hire someone to write sick rhymes for him instead of, you know, living up to the legend he builds himself to be. On the other hand, we can’t help but admire the amount of self-confidence. Or maybe that’s ego? Either way, he makes for a good punching bag.
Brucie Kibbutz
“Grand Theft Auto IV” (2008) Look, bro, we normally can’t tolerate the “dude-bro” attitude. Right, bro? It gets obnoxious sometimes. But when it comes to Brucie? Bro…we can give him a pass. Sure, the bro can get caught up in his own bro fantasies every now and again, but the bro’s got ambition, bro. There aren’t many bros that can paint themselves like such a bro that they impress the other bros by being such a driven bro. Call him a chatterbox, call him easily excitable, the bro is still and will always be a bro to us. Come on, bro, don’t tell us you don’t feel the same.
Ken Rosenberg
20 Hidden Secrets In Grand Theft Auto Games
“Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” (2002) Ken has had the pleasure of being a companion to both Tommy Vercetti in "GTA: Vice City" and Carl Johnson in "GTA: San Andreas". But, uh, Ken saw better days in "Vice City". This was a man in his prime. Not a good enough prime for most ladies, but good nonetheless. He was the brains behind Tommy's rise to fortune and getting a leg up on Lance Vance. So, it was heartbreaking to hear that he and Tommy's friendship would fall apart due to Ken's addictive needs. They could have had it all!!
Little Jacob
Top 10 Best Grand Theft Auto Side Characters
“Grand Theft Auto IV” (2008) Need something to get the job done? Little Jacob is your man. This Jamaican arms dealer was someone you could absolutely count on to help with whatever devious deeds you needed to do. And he does a pretty good job at making sure Niko and company are hidden from the LCPD. Besides, that Huntley Sport is one hell of a reward for completing all of his missions! …No, we did not do all of his tasks just for a sweet ride. We did it because he is a good friend…and we got a sweet ride out of it.
Lance “Ryder” Wilson
“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (2004) Ryder is honestly the coolest dude on Grove Street. Scratch that - he's the coolest dude in San Andreas. Ryder is the kind of friend who knows when and how to show some brotherly love. Though he acts like the most badass dude on the street, he isn't a step above asking for a hug and making you feel like family. In fact, if you don't hug him, he's going to guilt trip you into doing so. Just make sure you aren't doing anything stupid; don't wanna make him embarrassed to be seen with you, you know?
Franklin, Trevor, & Michael
“Grand Theft Auto V” (2013) Okay, we know that these guys are playable characters more than they are companions. But they qualify for our list because all three are companions for each other. Our main reason for including them here, however, is how well they work together. The trio of troublemakers have such wildly different personalities that it's hard to imagine them carrying out some "Ocean's Eleven"-style heist and doing it successfully. Or even somewhat successfully. And yet, they all get the job done. Hey, you know what they say: great minds think alike, right? At least none of them pester us to go bowling.
Sean “Sweet” Johnson
“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (2004) Speaking of brotherly love, we could never forget about Sweet. He is CJ's brother, after all. You sort of spend more time with him than anyone else on Grove Street, and he is one of the best brothers a guy could have. It just hurts knowing he and CJ are on bad terms in the early sections of "GTA: San Andreas". Clearly, there is some bad blood between the two, but for those rare glimmers of brotherhood, we cherish the hell out of them. And that final mission where the two of them takedown Tenpenny? Few final missions end in a satisfying way like this.
Lamar Davis
“Grand Theft Auto V” (2013) We all have that one friend who just rips into every living soul, including us. Lamar is very much that kind of friend. He rips on Franklin so many times throughout "GTA V" that every line of dialogue for him could be compiled together for a comedy special. And clearly, his burns have resonated with the rest of the GTA fanbase. C'mon, have you seen some of the stupid posts about Franklin's haircut? We only wish he was given a bigger role in the online mode instead of being just the tutorial guide. This dude is too good for such a menial role!
Big Smoke
Top 10 Funniest Grand Theft Auto Moments
“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (2004) Hah! You thought we'd put a traitorous asshat like Big Smoke on here? Naw, man. Snitches get stitches, and his stitches were deserved!
Roman Bellic
“Grand Theft Auto IV” (2008) We know we gave Roman a lot of crap for this whole video. Seriously, how many times does he call us for bowling plans? Bowling is great. It's fun. But good gawd, he invites us like it's the greatest game on Earth. And yet, he sort of grows on you. He is just too warm and welcoming to not love him, even if he can occasionally be a bumbling doofus at times. The truth of the matter is that he is a man who clearly makes the most out of his life with what little he is given, and for that, we'll take a bullet for him on any given day.
