For the last f*cking time out of 10000000 threads like this, NAAAAAAAYYY!

[xzxxsicko]

yes i need female where can i buy one?

[Gtaghost22]

In before the unfunny sexist kitchen jokes.

I wouldn't mind, would be interesting to see how it will work out, Rockstar won't dissapoint i'm sure.

@lucy12345: Dan Houser didn't say that...

[AdiosAmigos]

I don't want a female protagonist

[ScorpDaMonk]

as DLC sure, I mean DLC is an option

[shakugan 666]

The kitchen is waiting

[SuBu]

I were about to say that we can see bouncing boobs, and perhaps increase their size.

But then I remembered SR..

[Ps3blaze22]

Sure, i wouldn't mind..

[INEEDVNOW]

Dan said it didn't fit in the game but maybe in the future in the GAMER.NL interview.

 

Lazy google translate

 

It is not that a female character would or would not work, it's just that it does not fit in this game. Maybe in the future.

Me too, I voted yes, you can find my reasoning here.

[WF the Hobgoblin]

Nah. I'd play it, but it would be a waste of dlc imo.

 

I don't have an objection to playing female characters in general, but I don't know, GTA's different somehow.

[killahmatic]

There wont be DLC, but in a future game its a possibility.

Not sure how I feel about it. I think if there is a woman she would really have to be a badass.

It would need to be a Danica Patrick type. Someone small with a big mouth and not scared to attack.

It would have to be like V where you have the option to switch to her, but you dont have to stick with her.

[Zirvlok]

YAY! God damnit! I think it'd be freaking awesome. It'd be nice to see how a female protag would fit into the game, and I'd also just plain like to play as a female. Also, the ladies that play GTA would probably appreciate getting to play as one for once (short of online).

 

If not a protag with a story and what not, I think at the very least they should have a female skin DLC.

May I ask why do you want a woman in a GTA game?

(voted "I woulnd't like it but I'd still play it)

Well that's a good reason and actually I wouldn't really mind as long as it's a DLC.

How could they have time to learn how to use a gun... in the kitchen?

 

lol OP: I wouldn't mind as long as the DLC is as good as the last few have been.

[dj212]

I voted "yes". We already have a good idea of what R* can do with male protags, and I sure wouldn't mind some more variety.

[LeThaL AsSeT]

there will be playable female characters in MP so you dont have to worry, they did in in GTA IV, RDR and MP3 i dont see why they would all of a sudden stop the trend with GTA V

[Zip87]

First mission.

You need to steal a car. Female protag tries to break the window in, but can't. Settles for rent-a-car and then cries for 30 minutes on the phone. Antagonist of the game turns on you. Press X to accuse him of rape and get him sent to jail.

End credits roll.

[tenpennyisplainevil]

It would've been great as part of the multiple protags. Since there's not a vast majority that wants it that would be the perfect way to show at least some of the nay sayers how cool women can be in video games as well.

[cjbellic]

NO no and no. I love women, but the GTA protagonist is a man.

[Blood_Money]

Don't care if it happens but I'd still play it

I'm glad they did this in MP, but I want the personality, backstory and missions that you get in the SP campaign.

Well I'm a girl, so obviously I'd enjoy playing as a female character in GTA. Hopefully this'll happen someday.

 

But I have to say, they would need to work hard to pull this off right. For one thing, she'd obviously have to be really athletic, just so she can realistically do all the physical stuff you gotta do in these games (carjacking, fighting, etc). None of this damsel in distress bullsh*t. And for another thing, she'd have to be one of those tough, hardened gangsta girls, someone who doesn't flinch at death or crime. There have already been lots of female characters like this in the series history (off the top of my head: Catalina from SA, Elizabeta from IV).

 

I really think they could do it and it would be fun and interesting.

 

I mean, one of the many the things that makes GTA the single greatest video game franchise of all time is the fact their characters are so incredibly diverse. Other game series always choose the most generic, predictable, young, white, male protagonists, but Rockstar has always had the guts and the creativity to try anything: black, white, asian, hispanic, young, old, etc. So I have faith that, if they really wanted to, they could create an awesome female protagonist. It's true that women aren't nearly as likely to get involved in crime as men are, but it certainly does happen. So Rockstar would have to research the female crime statistics and female prison populations to see how to write a story/scenario for a female criminal that feels natural and authentic. Lots of people have proposed a Bonnie & Clyde-style plot, which could obviously work well. Also, despite the old pimp stereotype, the truth is that most major prostitution operations in our society are managed and run by women ("madams"), so you could have the character try to build up her brothel/empire, and she could do operations where they rob the johns (which would be a nice flip on the series' classic hooker pickup/murder scenario).

 

I don't know, I think it sounds fun, and it's not just because I'm a girl. I honestly think it would bring a unique new perspective to the series that would be enjoyable.

I think that if they do DLC, it is time to have at least one female protagonist. Why is it seen as such a bad thing for this to be suggested? As a straight male, I have to say: it's the 21st century, guys. Grow up.
