I'm still trying to work out how wanting Lucia to be the only protagonist makes me a woman hater.

That's. . .just crazy math.

Criticizing this game at all in anyway which is what you’re doing because you’re suggesting the game isn’t perfect because she isn’t the sole MC is anathema to the Shill side of the argument I spoke about above. That’s why they’re upset about something so trivial

The GTA6 shill/defenders are 100x worse than Nintendo ones and I thought Nintendo had the worst “leave the billion dollar company alone” mentality types

Legendary sums it up, perfectly

The people irrationally attacking, and blindly defending are both equally retarded.

Me and you both love him

I agree 100% said as much in the first post i made a bit up this page.

It isnt going to revolutionize gaming

It is going to be a likely really good game for people who enjoy GTA

Because I wanted to be?



Why does it bother you that I am?

I am still waiting for someone to tell me how this game will be not just be a good video game but revolutionize gaming forever?

I dont contest the talent of rockstar or that for people who enjoy GTA the game will be very good. I do contest that it is somehow anything truly pushing the medium forward.

They still use the same gameplay from 20 years ago

I never said it bothered me. I just think it’s weird that you are in this thread talking about a game that you supposedly don’t care about and don’t want to partake in discourse about… yet here you are willingly going back and forth with people.

It's not revolutionary more so that it's one of if not the most anticipated games of all time. It's a sequel of the one of the most iconic gaming franchises ever and it's been brewing for 13 years.

So many features that people wanted that were in RDR 2 and San Andreas are in this game. Not to mention it's a more unique storyline for GTA as it's Bonnie and Clyde story offers up as the first GTA game to have a woman as a playable character which does mean something to some gamers.

The game may not be as great as some hype it to be but it's highly likely that it's going to be extremely good as Rockstar does not miss. Dipshits like Road and Fatboy who hyperfocus on women in the game or Jason not bitch smacking his girl for talking back to him are the weird outliers.

No it doesn't. The group of gamers "asking for this" doesn't exist. The industry was nearly destroyed because they believed the lie that a "modern audience" exists. It's amazing there are still people who believe this is a thing.

GTA will sell massive numbers based on its reputation and history. Not because there's a female protagonist. If they made it woke (we don't yet know that they did), the next one will bomb and bomb hard.

Allow me to clarify


I am interested in having discourse about it contained to this board which is very small and for the most part consist solely of again a rather small handful of the same posters always having discussions.

It breeds an environment where it’s more interesting because you actually come to know the personally of posters, their tastes, their politics, etc and most people here usually keep things at least somewhat level headed

What I have no desire to partake in is the X discourse where everything devolves into pure tribalism. It’s either the best thing ever made and even the though of countenancing it isn’t is anathema, or it is total garbage when the reality is neither or true but at least from what I’ve seen the game is literally doing nothing new. It just looks like an extremely high budget video game that is extremely well made technically that’s very pretty and insane attention to detail. If they would update their shooting mechanics they haven’t touched in over 20 years that might be nice though.

I hope I answered your query

Capcom does a yearly survey that totally backs you up and blows the entire narrative about “muh gamers are 50/50” out of the water.

Capcom, who makes mostly entire some form of action game, almost always comes out 93% male 7% female.

There is no untapped female audience

Kind of but not really. I still don’t understand why you want to talk and argue with people about a game that you don’t care about and will never play. But you do you man.

The "untapped female audience" plays mobile games. If they venture into RPG-style games, it's for the social aspect like WOW. The "modern audience" people just can't seem to understand that group isn't going to be switching over to consoles to play games like GTA 6, fighting games, Final Fantasy-style games, etc.

The most crossover is with Nintendo games like Mario, LoZ, etc, but Nintendo isn't embracing this push at all. Their continued success flies in the face of the mantra of what games companies should be doing to attract the "untapped modern audience."

100%

We have known this for an extremely long time mostly by studying how male and female children play differently with toys.

They have done this study many many times and it’s been replicated to death.

If you give a boy an action figure he will start playing with it AS the action figure. Meaning if it’s Batman he will play out a story with his action figure acting like he knows Batman to behave.

When girls are given a toy they don’t play with them as the character they are, they desire to make the character something they embody themselves


This is simple known stuff and any idiot can apply it to gaming and come away with the correct conclusion

Much of the push is from people who want everything you stated to be wrong because it flies in the face of their beliefs that there are no discernible differences between genders. Acknowledging what you stated here is detrimental to their entire belief system.

I remember people complaining before San Andreas was released that Rockstar was basucally the form of woke back then because the main character was black.

And San Andreas turned out to be one of the most fun GTA games

No, you don't remember that. The left wasn't using the term "woke" then and media companies weren't trying to push DEI on everyone.

Unfortunately, San Andreas also wasn't as good as Vice City.

It was SJW's back then. They're all the same BS panic attacks, just a different name slapped on.
