From a gameplay perspective, it's not too surprising. Franklin is the first character you have control of in the open world at the start of the game. Meaning he gets hit with all the tutorials for dealing with wanted starts early on by default. In addition, he is the character the game defaults especially in driving sections which normally give you wanted stars and task you to avoid the police. For example, the game defaults to Franklin in the driving sections of the Jewelry Store Heist and Big Score. Presumbly to give the player the best advantage in evading the wanted stars the player just received. Since Franklin is involved in almost every heist as a driver and needs to drive when the situation gets rough, he gets more wanted stars. He's also the least involved with Merriweather, Triad and FIB stuff. Most of Micheal and Trevor's missions require them to deal with those other factions which don't count for wanted stars. Franklin is either not involved or only present in a supporting role/backup (e.g Fresh Meat).
And here I thought there was no way epiccakes could find an original challenge for gta v 😂 Keep up the good work man, this is a certified epiccakes classic!
@@epiccakesgaming Your name and profile picture are making me quite hungry. I happen to enjoy cake quite a bit, though I must say that pie is much better. It's a good thing I have something that meets the best of both worlds: Cheesecake. It has "cake" in the name, but in all reality, it's a pie. Yes, I know nobody cares, I'm commenting this for fun 😁
Fun fact: If you get a haircut before the motorcycle mission at the beginning, Lamar will say “Thank god you got rid of that ye ye ass haircut” (something like that)
Same on The Long Stretch, when he says your hair is an microphone instead he will say that you have a nice fit or something (Even tho you get the yee yee ass haircut but with the 3 lines at the sides)
There's actually quite a few examples of little dialogue changes. On the Merriweather heist if you actually get the flying lessons than when asked about it by trevor he will say " I came prepared, I feel confident in the air" something like that. Different from if you don't do them where he gives a noncommittal, "Y'know I was gonna do them but I got side tracked"
Ooh, I most certainly have something to look forward to then, when I start to actually watch the video. I have a habit of scrolling down to comments on every new video I click on, especially for a content creator I've never seen before. It sort of gives me an idea of what I'm getting into, without needing to subject myself to potentially boring content. I just do a quick scan of the comments, and then I go on my merry way to either watch the video if the comments seem good, or run away from the video as fast as I possibly can to avoid boring or other bad content.
This video is so good. The Voiceover is nice and crisp. And the video is really good quality! Generally engaging and had no trouble watching it all the way to the end. I love your videos!
The smart option for the Jewelry Store, if done right gives you no stars. But you have to be very sneaky when stealing the Bug Stars van and don’t kill the guy driving the Humane truck with gas.
Hey dude! I recently discovered your channel and I’ve been really enjoying your content. Please keep going and making this amazing content for us to enjoy ❤
In "Meltdown", the mission where Michael's family is attacked by a group of Merryweather agents called in by Devin Weston, you did not hit the guys head, so he killed amanda in retaliation to your shot.
Is that when you’re in somewhere where is not in the grass then when you called a taxi, then he will say they’re busy, but if you go into the streets that they will get you
17:05 - 17:14 This entire scene indeed got a chuckle out of me. I must say, this brilliant man is quite exquisitely funny. I shall now subscribe to his channel, because he made me do the one thing I absolute adore being able to do: Laugh.
15:08 just an observation: this is not Amanda's car as this is just a replacement for Michael until he gets his car back, Amanda owns a 2 door sentinel and not a Premier
15:09 The red car isn’t Amanda’s, the game doesn’t tell you where Michael got it but I presume it’s a rental because as soon as he gets his old car back this one disappears.
If I'm understanding what you're saying on Franklin & Lamar, you did try to use mission skip in order to skip getting stars? Cool video, reminds me of when I played GTA V and tried to not commit crimes. To get around, I would often call a taxi. When driving, I would follow traffic laws, and when walking I would wait for the crosswalk light. When I knew I had to commit crime for a story mission, I tried to not bring my personal vehicle or do anything that could be traced back. Including making sure I was wearing a mask, even when the game doesn't actually care. That added many hours of gameplay that wasn't actually needed, but I enjoyed trying to have a more realistic criminal experience. Remember: Don't break the law, while breaking the law.
Correct I did try to skip to the next checkpoint there (though technically this isn’t a glitch/still requires you to play through the rest of the mission). I tried to see if that would help with any of the wanted stars, but basically anytime stars appeared in a mission they were there at the beginning of a checkpoint so this didn’t really solve anything in my playthrough.
RIP Johnny, I was mad as heck when I found out how he got done dirty, felt worse when I had to hunt down those who still cared about him. Lost but never forgotten.
15:08 That's not Amanda's car. 1. That's a rental car Michael gets after Jimmy steals his car. Her actual car is a Sentinel, not a Premiere. 2. How would Michael have Amanda's car after she and the kids left him?
Literally unwatchable smh...but also good catch. Idk why I always assumed he used Amanda's car bc looking back they are clearly two different car types and it logically wouldn't make sense for him to have it when Amanda left him (in my defense they're both red lol).
You could try and beat the game with only money that you get from businesses or taxi jobs and then the money that you get from heist you can just spend it all on like guns that you're not going to use or ammo that you're not going to use and I think you can drop the weapons that you have on the floor so that would be a fun video
Basically how my parents want me to play gta games
If you kill anyone you’re grounded for a month
Real.
If your parents were going to be that strict they shouldn't have let you play at all
Your parents would want you to commit crimes while avoiding consequences?
sheeeesh
"Can you not shoot the bike rental guy out of like, force of habit?"
*Immediately pulls up the weapon wheel*
Ok
that sceneee
that was me exactly
Thats me fr
If you told me the nicest protagonist in GTAV has the most stars and the wildest protagonist has the least amount of stars, I would not believe it.
I would

Franklin literally gets arrested if he is near any cop, knowing how the police is I'm not surprised Frank is the one with the most stars 💀.

@@epiccakesgamingI can't read this idea
did you do it
The part that he says that he is so tyried because he can't sleep since 2013 made me laught a lot😂😂😂
nah this is a banger never knew you can get the stars this low. Keep up the good work!
The part where the dude goes "the government.. some of it is pretty corrupt" and they all just go
best video ive watched all week! Thanks bro!
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
was playing minecraft while watching and got a heart attack every time you counted the stars thanks dude
Wasn't hardcore mode right

15:15 is anyone gonna tell him that thats not amandas car?
Darkviper challenge ?
I’m just glad you didn’t run into that one trevor spawn where’s he’s getting chased and has two wanted stars.
Isn't there a different route you can take with Franklin in the Paleto Score that doesn't get him the wanted stars?
Yes, going through the fence and into the alley instead of through the street

LOW TAPER FADE
I didn't get to the end of video but my guess for who has the most wanted stars is Franklin
Franklin got the most wanted stars💀
I've finally finished GTA5 so now I can watch this without spoilers.
15:09 The red car isn’t Amanda’s, the game doesn’t tell you where Michael got it but I presume it’s a rental because as soon as he gets his old car back this one disappears.
Dang,i now know why Franklin is my favourite gta 5 proagonist
8:21 nahhhh this is just brutal 💀💀
Would love to see a GTA4 video, and even some RDR challenges!
Had a lot of fun with this, so I definitely see myself doing more challenges with Rockstar games whether GTA or RDR in the future!
Its nice to know that i wasnt the only one who held a grudge with Trevor for killing Johnny 2 mins into his opening scene. I never forgave him either.
17:39 aw come on you didn't let him finish his famous line 😠
when he said "the sponsor of todays video" i thought he was about to pull out raid shadow legends or smth
this is a nice way to story telling the plot

well well well, franklin getting most wanted stars isnt a surprise
It kind of makes sense for Franklin to have way more than the others since he's less experienced than Trevor and Michael. He racked them up FAST tho
Franklin : « why do I have the most star ? »
R* games: « BECAUSE YOU BLA-»
shoutout franklin for saving jizzy

Correction: Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee ass haircut you got you'd get some wanted stars off your stats
