I have to defend GTA V here--the three main characters are deeply flawed individuals whose masculinity and aggression lands them in deep shit. Michael is driven entirely by his own ego--his rage at his wife's infidelity (which he has caused himself by being a listless and aggressive sociopath) causes him to destroy a multi-million dollar house. His temper has also alienated his son and daughter. Trevor obviously has to live in the ass-end of nowhere due to the incompatibility of his psychopathy with civilization. And Franklin endlessly attempts to take the easy way out of his social circumstances by turning to the criminal underworld--he thinks he can impress Tanisha by throwing money around and driving fast cars, but she sees through his phoniness, and he's left sitting in an empty mansion, his real goal completely unobtainable.

All of them are also secretly vulnerable--Michael has a grandiose vision of himself as an old-school gangster, but he's really a failure on the inside. Trevor has an incredibly strange homoerotic attachment to Michael, and massive abandonment issues. Franklin, as mentioned, is dismissive of his culture and friends, and the rejection of them in pursuit of wealth leads to outward success but inward emptiness.
