Developers are also being cautious not to “punch down” by making jokes about marginalized groups, the people said, in contrast with previous Grand Theft Auto games.


It's gonna be woke garbage, sanitized to not offend special snowflakes who are not the target audience of this game.

I remember when people where claiming it was problematic for men to want to control female characters. If anything, this isnt woke at all, its appealing to the Male power fantasy.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Cool. Can't wait for the flood of "fans" crying about how boobs are going to somehow ruin the series or some shit. Meanwhile I'm sitting here amazed that there's actually a new GTA coming out...

Seems like a lose lose situation for game devs. If you make a female character attractive it's a sexual fantasy, but if you dont include any female characters them theres a lack of representation. God this shit gets so tiring.

Knowing how much of a boys club their work culture has been, I have my doubts as to how well Rockstar can write a female character. Odds are that they'll miss the mark by trying too hard and end up pandering to the woke and misandrist mobs. Hopefully they'll take notes form Saints Row and just make a badass character that can be of any gender in terms of characterization. Or just more directly offer character customization like Saints Row. I mean, shit, they've already used some of Volition's ideas in GTA Online; might as well use The Boss as well and have Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Nolan North and Jennifer Hale voice the main character.

Two things that worry me:
>Developers are also being cautious not to “punch down” by making jokes about marginalized groups, the people said, in contrast with previous Grand Theft Auto games.

I don't think sanitizing the game by sacrificing this part of series DNA is going to win them any new fans. What little controversy GTA V caused didn't ultimately hurt its success.

>No Dan Houser
Dan Houser has had a lead creative role on every game in the series and his departure combined with the above complaint and the article suggesting that this game is going to offer a different experience makes me worry about the new game feeling more like one of the many GTA clones than actual GTA.

Also I recently watched a netflix series about some lower class LA latinos where every character was insufferable and the only things they talked about were the fact they were latino and making fun of white people. Is that a trend in witing fictional hispanic american characters that could spill over to the new grand theft auto or was this show a lone case of hack writers?

people complaining about "wokeness" and censorship are all making this up in their own heads lmao. most of the satire probably flies past them anyways. this will be the biggest game of the decade just like the last one was and its gonna be just as much as a technical marvel as any of rockstar's any other work.

Playing as Regina (Dino Crisis), or as Jill Valentine or Claire Redfield (Resident Evil), or as Aloy (Horizon), or as Senua (Hellblade), or as Kat (Gravity Rush), or or or, etc. I don’t care, because the stories are good. Rock Star sucks at making good narrative. Let alone having a main “female” character. Hey! Guess what? She will roam the city, fucking every man she comes across with, and money increases. How you would like that for mc female?

If the female was hot, I would not mind, but I think we all know it will devolve into a woke sermon on diversity and fake oppression of x groups. Western devs can`t seem to make good female characters (or designs) anymore.

The problem with people these days is they spend too much time playing video games.

Instead of playing Grand Theft Auto all day you could just go outside and steal cars and commit crime IRL.

The problem isn't a female character (Latin Queens exist and there are a lot of other bigtime female drug traffickers throughout history), the problem is their reluctance to make jokes.

GTA V story sucked I doubt GTA VI is going to be any better.
Now with the popularity of GTA Online GTA VI is just going to be an advertisement for it's online counterpart.
I doubt that female protagonist is enough to save GTA although it is welcomed as long as they don't make her deliberately ugly like Mass Effect Andromeda did.

As long as it's an interesting main character I don't particularly care. I don't really get what's woke about it, it's literally just a female character in a video game. I think we could use more interesting character archetypes in general within mainstream gaming aside from the steely but solemn white dude with a gun, the staple of practically ever shooter ever.
To be honest I thought they'd be going down the character customization route since GTA online is such a juggernaut but I guess they'll just release more expansions.

You people are idiots for believing the media spin that men hate playing as female characters. Just look at any online MMO, the majority of the characters are female's played by men.

People aren't worried about the female lead, they are worried the series will be toned down. Nobody wants a toned down GTA, it goes against everything that made the series so popular. I have never seen a series that has been attacked by the media and politicians like GTA has, and Rockstar ignored it every time. They shouldn't change now.

To be fair, I wrote my post before it was brought to my attention that it would be a Bonnie and Clyde story. But I still don't trust Rockstar to write a female character that can be as compelling as their many male protagonists. I'll have to see it to believe it.

What do you mean? Tracey and Amanda were pheromonally written.....

In all seriousness I think that Rockstar will put in a bit more legwork into the protagonist. Going foward I feel like the biggest issue the series is going to have is being too much like saints row. 5 was loud and bombastic and almost never took itself seriously. It was zanny and weird but unlike 4's weirdness it never felt like it was rooted in reality. I wouldn't be surprised if 6 went further in this direction especially considering the dlc Rockstar released for the games.

But they might surprise you. They might surprise me. I hope we're both wrong.

It's pretty clear that Rockstar is going for more mainstream appeal. Considering the direction they took with gta online and lack of the promised single player dlc...It would not surprise me if they went out of their way to make the game as marketable as possible.

Who knows after 6 is gone in 20 years. We might get gta fortnite.

Just imagine it.

I'm a bit skeptical about it because Rockstar will have to write a story that fits well with a female main character. If the protagonist acts with male mannerisms it may seem off. I think if they approach it like how saints row did with Shaundi it can work well. That being said, Rockstar is exceptional at creating groundbreaking stories so I feel like it will be fine.
