aaaaactually I just read the main plot from wiki till Angel Pine since it takes
hours to get there and, you know, I wanted to see if I missed something from your great gangster story:
Quote:
Carl "CJ" Johnson has been living in Liberty City for the past five years, ever since his brother Brian was killed. In 1992, for the first time in five years, he returns to Los Santos to attend his mother's funeral who was killed by rivals. Upon returning, his cab is pulled over by police officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, who had several run-ins with Carl before he left. The officers put Carl in the squad car, frame him for a fellow officer's murder, and drop him off in a rival gang's area of town. Once Carl finds his way back to his house, he finds his family and friends in disarray.
Carl's brother, Sean "Sweet" Johnson blames him for their brother Brian's—and their mother's—deaths and berates him for abandoning the gang, the Grove Street Families. In an effort to win back his brother's favor and respect, Carl aids Sweet, and fellow gang members Ryder and Big Smoke. Carl is also introduced to Caesar, Kendl's boyfriend. Carl helps Sweet gain territory for the gang, aids Ryder in stealing weapons from various sources from an old vietnam veteran to a national guard depo, and helps Smoke perform various activities that usually have no benefit to the gang like taking out non native gangs, such as the San Fierro Rifa and the Russian Mob. Carl dates a girl named Denise (whom he rescued from a building after setting it on fire on Tenpenny's orders) and helps OG Loc to manage his rapping career, along with sabotaging Madd Dogg's career (including drowning his manager and stealing his rhyme book).
Thanks largely to Carl, the Grove Street Families return to prominence, and Carl regains his respect with Sweet. While Sweet is preparing for a gang war against their rivals, the Ballas, CJ gets a call from Caesar, to meet him. Caesar shows him the Green Sabre (the vehicle alleged to have carried out the shooting of his mother) being escorted by Big Smoke, Ryder and Tenpenny. This proves the three were involved in CJ's mother's death and that Sweet's plan is doomed. Carl tries to warn Sweet but cannot reach him by phone; in desperation, he tries to rescue him. He withstands the Ballas long enough for SWAT and C.R.A.S.H. to arrive on the scene. Sweet is arrested and Tenpenny takes Carl away with him to Angel Pine - a small village, isolated between Los Santos and San Fierro.

Now, have I seen this wonderful story in another medium? Well let me think about it cause the answer is really really difficult. Oops! I said "medium"! Stupid me for thinking that games don't need to have checklist stories from average movies and books to be the unique art form it is.
Look at my avy.
