Ben73 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How many female members on this forum? Sure a female protagonist could work if done right, but its probably just so much easier with males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyReaper2014 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Joan of Arc didn't actually get involved in battles, she was more of a symbolic figure, so there's realism issues, gta likes to have a modicum of believability. Tomb Raider, Saints Row and Mass Effect would be more your thing. Why does half or more of the community think like this? "Want realism? Play sims" Want female protag? Play mass effect/tomb raider Want Car Customization? Play MC:LA It's just narrow-minded and seems rather foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 That's your opinion, I wouldn't like it so I love them even more for not going in that direction.. doesn't mean there won't be in the future but for now I'm glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Blueguy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 V didn't include multiple protags so they could expand their diversity appeal. They included multiple characters for a new level of immersion into the story, introduce a variety in personalities, replay-value, etc. Therefore, the fact that there are 3 characters is irrelevant on the subject matter of diversity in gender. In general, GTA accurately depicts the criminal landscape of the United States by not having female protagonists. If this was about the Latin American cartels and what not, then maybe it would be a different story. Even then, Latin American cartels have only a sprinkling of prominent female crime bosses. Females seldom become career criminals outside of the realm of white-collar crime. This is especially the case with organized crime. Maybe eventually we'll see one though. I... I'm sorry but I never heard more misinformed BS, while trying to sound articulate in my life. While I can agree with some of the themes of your post, you are clearly misinformed. Just because we don't hear much about women in the United States committing violent and heinous acts all that often, that doesn't mean its the stuff movie legend and feminist fantasy. As some one already posted here in this thread, look up Aileen Wurnos and come back again with this type of argument. Besides that, your not so subtle suggestion that violent females boil down to simply the crazy latina, has to be the biggest logic hole I have ever heard of when discussing women and violence. Not only is it ludicrous but also slightly racist. Also, while the trend may be that females tend to be less likely to venture outside of white collar crimes, they have happened. There was actually a study referenced in A&E's special on Aileen Wurnos just before the biopic, 'Monster', had released which more or less alluded to women being more prone to crimes of passion than men in that they lead a lot of times with their emotions and can be unpredictable. Just like, dare I say... Trevor? So honestly, before you jump on here trying to protect your pseudo male power fantasy while under the guise of sounding well-read, why don't you do some research?

Niick99 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I dont know if anyone has noticed this or not in past gta's, but R* arent exactly the type of gaming company that would give a female that much power in one of their games. Women in gta are mostly used for either being a part of the narrative, being random npc's, or being use like a cumbucket for cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New Blueguy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Why do people seem to think that since there are three protagonists they HAD TO include minorities, females and all that. No they don't have to, and they didn't drop no ball on this one. There's no mexican protagonist, or female protagonist as that's not the story they came up with. Doing it differently would be forced and would ruin it. And someone already mentioned it, a female protagonist would have to be realistic, not Lara Croft big titties model who beats up pedestrians and carjacks them. She would have to look and behave in a believable manner, and 99 % of those who want a female protagonist, would dislike such a protagonist. Exactly. Why are you even arguing this. When the main character of a movie is a male (ex: Frodo in [Lord of the Rings]). Should we have to debate how good the movies would be if he would be a female … no. We should just accept these games as a creation of a group of artists and leave it at that. They have a story in mind from conception to creation that they want to follow. Who wants to hear a bunch of crap like … "Tony Montana should've been a woman" or something. Same here with GTA. I don't believe anyone has ever said there has/had to be. It was just simply something that some fans would be a nice change of pace in games. Like the same way, CJ being black or Wuzi being Asian was for San Andreas or Chinatown Stories. It was simply something different. Luis being Latino or Niko being Serbian/Bosnian. Just different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungChrist Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Its hard to implement interesting female characters that aren't cliche. Plus, a larger portion of their consumers are male so i dont see why they would make a female protagonist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Blueguy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Because a GTA female character wouldn't really fit. Do you see women robbing banks in films, hijacking cars and killing everyone on the street? It's not like a woman to do that, because most violent stuff like that in films have been done by men, and now everyone believes it. Lol, what a sexist comment. I guess if it doesn't involve a kitchen or arts and crafts then it doesn't fit a female? To those who say a female wouldn't fit, care to explain how? gta involves hand to hand combat women typically aren't great in a street fight and the protagonist has to gain the respect of their boss and others and a woman wouldn't do that. we see criminals in movies that are women but they are usually thieves not people that fist fight or kill people. do you think vlad from gta iv would have given any respect if instead of niko nina was doing the jobs?

Graven Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I don't want to play as female, I want to play with one! But seriously, could work as a soldier for example. There are tuff women that would complete missions as well as men. And now that You are free to choose your character, an option to play as female might draw more female players among GTA. Maybe in next title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBelic Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Okay, I like Rockstar and how they push the limits. However, I believe that by having 3 main characters and not ONE of them female just shows how Rockstar dropped the ball on this one. Normally developers/publishers use the excuse that their core fanbase is male so they believe that they would identify more with a male over a female character. Well that excuse doesn't fly here as there are 3 characters. Two of them could have been male and the other could have been female. Am I wrong for thinking this? you have multiplayer for this.

Nori Yaro Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) You're either a pissed off feminist or a feminized beta phaggot 'male'.

BlackNoise Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 GTA V would be the wrong game to introduce a female protagonist. It may seem like the perfect game because of the multiple protagonists, but R* wants players to equally enjoy all the characters and a female protagonist would make that aspect extremely unbalanced. I actually wouldn't mind a GTA with a female protagonist, especially if she's a sexy lesbian chick who is a legit killer, but I don't want to choose between her and two male protagonists. If I get a choice I would never choose the female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerdude Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How does not having a Female Protag make them "Drop the Ball" The last GTA game that had a female protag was GTA 1, And you couldn't tell you were playing a women unless someone told you.

Nori Yaro Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 This is just their first time doing multiple protags, I'm sure the next GTA game with multiple protags is gonna have at least one female protag. I hope not this would ruin the game for me. In reality the female would fail all the missons, get upset, get a period and unable to streer the car correctly. I'm sure you're looking forward to them adding a male and female indians, mexicans, native americans, non stereotypic black guy and a fa**ot white guy. They should also make it so you can't kill people and cut the swears, you also shouldn't steal cars of FBI would raid your house because you might do this IRL. One of the reasons I love rockstar is that they do what's cool and don't give a f*ck. Not what some diversity phaggots want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
