4. GTA IV - 'Ask CJ'
Why Rockstar hid this one away so well is a mystery, as San Andreas main character Carl 'CJ' Johnson is easily one of the most beloved of the GTA protagonists over the course of the entire series. For the very divisive GTA IV a far more serious tone was taken that ended up splitting fans right down the middle. Gone was the jetpacks n' gangbangers feel of San Andreas, and in was the very washed-out aesthetic of Niko Bellic's New York, providing a more realistic bent on the idea of someone coming across the Atlantic to seek something other than the destitute they'd left behind. CJ was still in here in spirit though, and all you needed to do was journey to any of the Cluckin' Bell chicken outlets and use a rifle to zoom into the keypad on the workers' tills. Amongst some other brilliant button-labels every retail worker has felt the need for at some point like 'Launch Missiles', 'Space Lazer' or a no-manager-present 'Holy Sh*t', there's an 'Ask CJ' one. Seems that after all that high-falutin' casino-action, ol' CJ just had to settle down as the manager of his favourite chicken-chain.
