I think if we ever see a female protagonist in GTA it would be a 'Bonnie & Clyde' style story.

I wrote exactly the same in another topic :D

Insanely alluring and witty as Cate Archer, with some unique quality, but not so off-putting; even a wee bit like Niko who oscillates wildly from being sad 24/7 to just...really, realy, boring. Blank!

A female protagonist would be too manly.

Catalina has bigger balls than most male characters in the series.

I should probably add that to my signature. :lol: By the way, SOL did you see my earlier reply to you in this topic?

 

Cheers.

Sorry mate. I guess I over looked it...I'm not sure how people would react to playing not only a female, but an authority figure aswell to be honest.

She would be a Twofer Token Minority. I would find it an interesting dynamic. Here's a link I would like to share with you; :)

Trust me people would still buy the game. A female protagonist or not, it's all about the gameplay.

Do you remember this lady: http://gta.wikia.com/Elizabeta_Torres ? She was quite male too. In fact she was more male than Manny Escuela as we could see during gameplay :) She reminds me of a film character. I don;t remeber the title, but it was about 3 maybe 4 girls, bank robbers. And the male one died in a shootout surrounded by police, just got out of the car and started to shoot. Probably she didn;t want to be taken alive. So as we can see girls also have balls :) And one more thing. Girls also play GTA. I suppose they'd like to play a female character more than we do.

As a female who enjoys video games, I'm indeed bored of constantly being forced to play as a dude. I'm grateful that Tomb Raider exists.

In all seriousness I just don't see a female protagonist fitting in very well. Obviously female criminals exist, but it's not something automatically associated with organised crime.

How about having the female protagonist being on the other side of the law? Her story being involved in investigating organised crime?

 

Cheers.

 

Karen from IV/V fits for that role...! If only...

Well, my candidate number 1 is Karen but I'll be fine with another girl as protagonist, I'd like to see what R* is capable of with that. It's about time, I 100% support it.

If only, is right. Furthermore Karen was not in Law Enforcement in IV. It would be interesting playing as her none the less.

Obviously hot and good looking, with some style. I would accept a protagonist that acts like a normal female, and not a completely buffed up flat woman that acts more like a man.

If anybody has seen the movie Jackie Brown somebody like that would be good. Somebody like Catalina would be a female Trevor and while I like him I know opinion is pretty divided about him.

Damn, I thought you are a guy. Probably most guys do :D Anyway, my sister said exactly the same thing when she'd completed GTA V. That she feels like she's being forced to play as a dude.

^i think a female protagonist is viable as long as her gender isn't the main focus of the character.

 

look at johnny k for example. he is jewish. but that isn't the main focus of the character. what is the main focus of the character is that he rides choppers, kills racist deadbeats, and sticks it to the man. hell, he only briefly mentions he's jewish like twice. he ended up being an awesome character because the game didn't focus on his jewish heritage every five minutes. if the game did, he might end up being a bad/boring/lame character lol.

 

so, a female protagonist could work as long as her gender isn't focused on every five minutes either.

 

tbh, i could picture a woman committing these crazy crimes like tommy, victor, toni, and CJ do. if men can do it why can't women?

 

I think that's a very good point. If they bring in a female they shouldn't focus on her "womanliness" every 5 seconds. I trust that Dan Houser and his writers will strike a good balance and not go too far though.

 

I do like some of the ideas in here who say the female character could start off on the "good side" and sort of be tempted and lured into the criminal world slowly.

As for how she should look, you could make her attractive or plain, it wouldn't bother me. The males didn't look like Calvin Klein models but normal guys (and actually kind of resembled their voice actors).

The Other Dude

She'd be a whore. Yeah, that's right, a whore.

 

I clicked on the thread, read the starting post, scorlled down and this was the first thing I saw. I started laughing. Anyway, if R* ever does do a female character, I think she'd probably have similar characteristics to Catalina. Even though I agree 100% with what Drunken Cowboy said, maybe they could make her bi-sexual or even lesbian to please the mainly male fanbase of GTA. The Idea itself seems difficult for R* to implement but despite some of their failures, I trust them to the extent that they mostly try to create unconventional gaming experiences for the fans.

the problem with that, is generally speaking, most lesbians are butch that burp, fart and drink alcohol like a guys, have short spikey hair, tattoos on their knuckles and hate the whole male population...

 

or is that just in england?

Like nobum said, GTA could have a decent female character if they didn't focus on the fact that she was female. The writers could even make it an inside joke that no one really notices she's a women.

 

Maybe she could be ex-military and the reason she got into crime is to support her drug habit or something (GTA protags aren't perfect)

 

Appearance wise I guess she would be hot just so people are more "accepting" of her.

 

Probably terrible ideas but fvuk it.

I don't think it'd be realistic. As Drunken Cowboy said most violent criminals are men. Woman can be manipulators in crime but if she had to do the grunt work that makes up the core of GTA V she'd get chewed up in any fistfights. I don't think they could make it believable.

 

And to the females that complain about not having a female protag in a crime game. This BENEFITS you. The fact that your gender is not represented in either fiction or reality as violent killers means you do not have to deal with the stigma of being thought of as a potential rapist, murderer etc just for your gender.

If they wanted to make it realistic, most gamers wouldn't be turned on by it. I'll say what I said in another thread.

 

The problem isn't statistics of female criminality or how small it is in the big picture, it's the audience.

 

A real violent female criminal wouldn't sit well because she's too manly and/or not hot enough.

 

Barbie doll/Victoria Secret esque GTA type criminals don't exist. Let me illustrate.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they made her bisexual. There's a lot of perverted gamers out there who's sexual fantasies need to be fed. Maybe she'll be able to pick up hookers...or even gigolos. But like I said, the perv gamers will focus on the girl on girl sex...
