GTA V Wishlist

There's rumours going around about a fifth GTA game! Wuut! GTA IV was obviously a failure in comparison to the awesome games that came before, but we can always hope for improvement! I figured I'd make a personal GTA V wishlist. HERE IT COMES:

1. A caucasian main character.
I hated TJ (yes I know it's CJ). That other dude in TBoGT wasn't my favourite either, but he was better than a full gangster kind of main character. Still, gimme a russian or american character to kick ass with, it's more fun!

2. Graphics? Who cares, FIX FPS.
Sure, the graphics of GTA IV where kinda pretty, but you can have the prettiest graphics in the world and still fail if the FPS drops down to like.. 20/30? What's the point in having amazing graphics if you're just showing them as screenshots basically? My eyes never really got used to the framerate in GTA IV, guess I'm not the only one.

3. Relatable and fun characters.
Remember Vice City characters? Tommy Vercetti, Ken Rosenberg, Lance Vance, or even Candy Suxxx?? That's right, you remember them!! Now the only character I can think of when I think GTA IV is Brucie. There is not one other memorable character in the whole damn game!

4. A sense of.. having no purpose.
The older GTA's where just a playground filled with possibilities for you to wreak havoc. I'd load up the game, and not even think about what I was going to do next. Just go for a little ethnic cleansing in the early morning, or why not weed out some prostitutes with your car while you're at it? Splashing heads with your sniper, or mowing down pedestrians ridiculously fast, you'd keep setting new goals for yourself without ever having a real purpose but to have FUN. Please, make GTA V have a baseline feeling that you're mainly there because you're having a good time, not that you're playing through a story.

5. Splitscreen co-op
No explanation required.

GTA is not about some emotional bullcrap story brahs, it's about the hit and run action. Filling up hookers with lead and other substances, being creative with chain exploding cars that flop about with unrealistic physics and unpredictable effects, and all that kind of shit you can imagine.

Let me hear your thoughts on this! What would you like to see changed in the next Grand Theft Auto game?
