I think that's a good and fair insight BB88 and I think you're broadly right, but the problem is the characters (IMO) were not compelling in any way. Nothing about any of their arcs really had me invested.
Trevor in particular was just irritating. Michael was tedious although probably had the most potential. Franklin was okay but lacked depth. I genuinely found Lamar to be more of an interesting character, which isn't good.
I know GTA is characterised by its bright and brilliant supporting cast but I think when you end up with support characters who are more interesting than the actual playable cast its problematic.
