I know Rockstar doesn't use real life crime workings as influence to GTA, but they do have some respect to it, and quite frankly, women aren't likely to be your average street thug.

You know, you're right.

 

We ought to stick to an average street thug that steals fighter jets for corrupt CIA agents, taking out an entire army in the process and two trained fighters scrambled to take him out. Keep it realistic, y'know.

Seems you missed the majority of my point.

 

I'm not asking Rockstar to keep it realistic and if you could, try to expel that word from usage. It's been raped to sh*t of it's meaning and is almost as useful a word as "overrated".- they've already demonstrated how they approach GTA. They approach it with the kind of "Hollywood realism" employed with crime films that they are influenced by.

 

Now, let's actually try to muster up a female protagonist that has the same sort of believability and human depth that Niko Bellic had. Can you try? Of course, I'm not asking you to try to think up a great character in a couple minutes like that, but briefly set out a summary of a potential lead.

No, I got your point. Which is basically that you have an uncanny knowledge of the inner workings of the criminal world for a teenager, to the point where you wouldn't believe a female lead in GTA. Right. I caught that part. So we move on to part two, which is apparently "it's not believable if I haven't seen it in a crime movie before." IV was an attempt to quit being so derivative of those story lines. So, turns out we do get a character like Elizabeta Torres.

 

And if Elizabeta tested your suspension of disbelief, Catalina must've really been a mindf*ck.

Hahaha, no you didn't. You really didn't. Here's a more clearer explanation, just so you can understand. Don't worry, I'll try not to be all confusing and complicated for that cute little brain of yours wink.gif

 

GTA is an ultra-exaggerated world that takes a LOT of inspiration of cinema's depiction of crime in America. IV was an original story, but it was still a very cinematic story that wasn't grounded in realism, but rather human characters (when it came to realism).

 

Even Elizabeta says it, she's a "woman in a man's world". And Catalina was a decent depiction of a female, criminal character, but not one that could work as a protagonist.

Personally I'd rather it be tried out as DLC or an entirely new series. If anyone could create an interesting female protagonist it's R*.

This.

I wouldn't really mind playing as a female protagonist, but since i'm a guy i prefer to play as my own gender in games.

I wouldn't object to this, mostly because I trust Rockstar.

 

Personally, I think the magic of it being a video game and all would give reason to a woman doing such things. The player is controlling her. Plus, there's always room for subtle backstory.

 

Would be nice if she was actually attractive; you'd be staring at her behind for the majority of the game. tounge.gif Though, I know Rockstar wouldn't make her the typical badass girl in films who looks like a model.

R.I.P. kitchen jokes.

 

Well I wasn't serious, and the point is that it doesn't suit GTA at all. As I said Saints Row.

They still use kitchen jokes. Just because you thought it died in 2009 doesn't mean it actually did.

What, was she too much of a homicidal maniac?

You see her taking orders from others? I could see it now, getting rejected by CJ then having a hot coffee session with Claude, then quick-time eventing' a call to CJ moaning into the phone. Brilliant!

 

And I want to clarify: If Rockstar could create a female protagonist with the same sort of human depth Niko had, then great. Sarah Connor is one of my favorite characters, and she was straight up bad without being forced or like a butch dyke.

If people still use them, then they aren't really dead...

The black character in SA caused pretty much the same idiotic discussions, so there is no doubt in my mind a female character in a GTA game can work. Sexism and racism aside, there are really no decent arguments against something like this.

I'm sorry, I just came back from reading 800 posts about how much CJ and Niko were everyone else's bitch all the time and how Tommy was so awesome because he didn't take sh*t off anyone.

 

Catalina as protagonist should be right up their alley.

 

Nice call on Sarah Connor though.

Actually, I think a female protagonist will look like this.

 

 

 

Looks scary, if one of these were a protagonist it will even scare the player. lol.giflol.gif

To be honest when have kitchen jokes ever been funny? They're as bad as " your mom" jokes.
