3 disappointing endings in GTA 5 that GTA 6 should do better
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 5 is iconic, but its endings? Not so much. For a game that gave us epic heists, chaos, and unforgettable characters, the finale felt... weirdly underwhelming. With GTA 6 around the corner, Rockstar has a real chance to level up. Here are 3 endings from GTA 5 that didn't quite hit, and how GTA 6 can crush it. 1. Option A: Kill Trevor – Why Even Give Us This? You spend hours causing mayhem with this unhinged wildcard, and suddenly the game expects you to kill him? Like, seriously? Sure, Trevor's chaotic. But that's the point. He's the heart of GTA 5's insanity. Choosing to burn him alive felt like Rockstar forcing an 'edgy' moment that didn't fit. Players didn't buy it emotionally, and it didn't really change the story in a meaningful way either. How to Fix it in GTA 6 : Don't give us character-kill choices unless the consequences actually matter . And if you're gonna break our hearts, at least earn it with story buildup. GTA 5 - Ending B / Final Mission #2 - The Time's Come (Michael) 2. Option B: Kill Michael – Cold, Rushed, and Pointless Michael might be flawed (okay, very flawed), but he's a father, a mentor, and one of GTA's most complex characters. So when Option B casually tosses out, 'Hey, want to murder your bestie?' it just doesn't land. There's no payoff. No deep fallout. Franklin kills Michael, and life weirdly goes on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later! [Video] getfittoday Undo It feels more like flipping a switch than making a choice. How to fix it in GTA 6 : If you're writing tragic endings, go all in . Make the emotional stakes real. Don't make character deaths feel like they belong in a side quest. Why Death Wish Ending Sucks | GTA V 3. Option C: Deathwish – The 'Everyone Lives' Cop-Out Let's face it, Option C was what 99% of players picked. Why? Because it's the only one that actually feels right . But even then, it's too clean. Everyone magically survives. We wipe out the enemies in one final shootout and ride off into the sunset. It's satisfying... but also too safe . No twists. No sacrifice. Just fan service. How to fix it in GTA 6 : Give us endings that are earned , not just easy. A good finale doesn't have to kill everyone, but it should leave players thinking . Add moral tension. Make choices stick. And for the love of chaos, make it messy in the best way. Rockstar nailed the journey in GTA 5 but fumbled the finish . In GTA 6, fans want emotional impact, not last-minute decisions with zero weight. Whether it's Jason, Lucia, or whoever joins the ride, we want endings that slap, not ones that feel like an afterthought. Let's hope GTA 6 doesn't just end , but explodes.

'I'm half white!': Trevor Noah mocks refugees, 'genocide'
Trevor Noah has made light of claims South Africa is promoting a 'white genocide', resulting in an influx of 'refugees' in the US. The Soweto-born comedian was speaking in the latest episode of his Spotify What, Now? Podcast. Trevor was joined by longtime pals Anele Mdoda and Sizwe Dhlomo. During the episode, Trevor Noah and his friends caught up on news about their lives, including Anele's recent engagement, upcoming wedding and the possibility of Sizwe settling down. The trio played a game called 'If I ruled the world', in which they laughed off each other's make-believe scenarios. During the game, Trevor was particularly amused at white South Africans who had fled the country to the US under the guise of being 'persecuted'. Trevor jokingly said: 'South Africans have changed the defination of refugees. Because before this, refugees only went to another country because they had to.' He continued: 'Normally, refugees have baggage, not luggage. This is very different.' Trevor Noah also joked about leaving South Africa too. He told his pals: 'There is a white genocide in this country. I'm half white. I had to choose!' Trevor Noah splits his time between South Africa and the US, in which he became a naturalisd citizen in 2020. In 2015, Trevor packed up his life in SA to live in the US, after he was announced as the new host of The Daily Show. While he calls America 'home', he often returns to SA to spend time with his family and friends. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

4 ways Rockstar might link GTA 6 to Michael's story
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is bringing us back to Vice City with a whole new vibe, but die-hard fans still have Los Santos in their hearts. Especially Michael De Santa, the retired bank robber who gave us one of GTA 5's most layered characters. So the big question is: Could Rockstar be planning to connect Michael's story to GTA 6? It's not just wishful thinking: Rockstar loves weaving in legacy characters. Here are 4 legit ways they might bring Michael back into the picture. 1. Lucia Has a Connection to Liberty City — and So Does Michael Lucia's backstory mentions her roots in Liberty City, which just so happens to be Michael's old stomping ground before he moved to Los Santos. He was deep in the criminal underworld there before faking his death. Rockstar could reveal that Lucia's family had run-ins with Michael or his old crew back in the day. Imagine a mission where Lucia's mom name-drops someone who 'disappeared with a ton of cash and left chaos behind.' Yes, sounds like Michael. Michael De Santa In GTA 6 (HE'S BACK) 2. Michael's Film Career Could Be Big in Leonida By the end of GTA 5, Michael is all about Vinewood. And GTA 6's Vice City is loaded with flashy, fake-glam energy. It wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that Michael's movies, or even Michael himself, made it to Leonida's film festivals, tourist traps, or shady theaters. A quick side mission where Jason or Lucia has to protect a washed-up actor from Michael's B-movie could be both hilarious and nostalgic. Rockstar lives for these kinds of meta jokes. 3. A Criminal Legend in the Background Michael's criminal history is the stuff of legend. In GTA 6, Rockstar might reference him in the form of crime lore like radio interviews, conspiracy YouTubers (looking at you, Cal Hampton), or online forums discussing 'that one bank job in North Yankton.' You wouldn't even need to see him in person. Just hearing his name or a fake podcast episode featuring 'a retired guy from Vinewood who faked his death' would fire up fans instantly. Michael And Trevor CAN'T Be In GTA 6 4. Trevor and Michael's Fallout Could Be a Plot Point We already know fans are speculating that GTA 6 might connect to Trevor's madness, so what if Michael gets pulled in too? Trevor and Michael had a messy breakup in GTA 5. If Trevor's chaos touches down in Leonida, Michael might show up to clean up a mess (or leave a warning). GTA 6 is all about forging a new path, but Rockstar never forgets its past. Michael might not be front and center, but don't be shocked if his ghost still lingers over Leonida. Would we love a full Michael cameo? Sure. But even a single voice line or Easter egg would be enough to make GTA history feel connected — and that's exactly what Rockstar excels at.
