Do you think there could be a female main character?

I dont intend this topic to be labelled as sexist but I saw people discussing it in another forum sight so I wondered if people thought its a possibilty and what they think. The film Kill Bill gave me this idea. What do you think? Please give your reasons, no one will judge unless you are being totally sexist. Keep an open mind in this topic! :)

I wouldnt mind if the character was male or female thye just have to be a good character in my mind. Like CJ and Tommy they were cool.

when was the last time you saw a lady in the mafia fighting for drugs and stuff? i think it would be dumb.
What about Asuka she was the leader of the Yakuza, so I dont think would make it stupid but it would be how the character is portrayed.

T

here would probably be those feminest right groups all over it. For "portraying woman as bloodshirsty killers" and bullshit like that.
Ha thats true actually but thye probably complained to R* anyway cause the woman in GTA are all meant to be beautiful which is sexist blah blah blah....... Someone will always complain to R*. People complained about a chewing gum advert being cruel to animals.

as long as her boobs didnt interfear with game play. Ie: not being able to jump as high. Or difficulty aiming with a sniper rifle. Or classic bad driving abilities which the breasts would have nothing to do with.

It could be fun being a girl too, when else can we say we picked up a male prostitute and F*** The S*** out of him.

Girls are just too... how should I put this.. girly.. yeah that.. I mean it's very rare that you see a woman running around like crazy beating up people, stealing cars, drive-by shootings etc. I highly doubt it.. in fact it's not gonna happen.. it's just not going to

Yeah it would seem un-realistic anyway.

I wouldn't mind playing as a female, but what about picking up pros and going to strip clubs? Surely they couldn't get away, with portraying a female as a lesbian, in that sense. :huh:

I think a female character would be interesting, and that maybe soom ideas for an all female gang could be associated in to it. Plus, that simply isn't true that females aren't very involved in crime. Machine Gun Molly from Montreal was a famous female gangster, and believe it are not there are Mafia families where women are the primary members. The movie The Bella Mafia isn't a bad depiction of women being involved in crime either.

That is very true. As the game is more than likly to be set in the 21st century then gamgs would have changed. Woman wouldnt be the pretty faces in the gang who get the drinks, they are well respected members of certain gangs.

Nobody has made the obvious connection to Tomb Raider yet have they?

Look at the Tomb Raider franchise, it's done pretty well, especially with Angelina Jolie in the movie too. Tomb Raider sells more than it should just because of the female protagonist, who happens to look stunning (as far as pixelated looks go). She has pretty large breasts too, and overall her clothing is pretty revealing. It kinda interferes with the actual gameplay and what you're supposed to be doing, rather than ogling her body. You can get sidetracked for a second and think "wow she's pretty hot considering this is a videogame"

IMO a female protagonist would be completely unsuited to a GTA game. If you think about it, the only strong female character we have even seen in any of the games has been Catalina. And I really can't see us playing as a 'bad guy' so to speak.

Obviously they're free to introduce us to brand new characters, but still, I just can't see a female protagonist as a realistic option.

Excellent discussion point though, nice topic. ;)

Dude. There are girls out there who could kick your ass back to Kingdom Come. Women are not just girly girls who think everything is so cute. There are women all over the place who are better suited for Gang life then males. Machine Gun Molly killed people for a living.
I agree with Canary by far. Its a dum stereotype that says woman are just worried about their nails and if they had a gun it would have to pink frills with crocheted flowers. It would be easier for R* to stick with what works but R* is a games company thats pushes game norms to another level so the risk may work or fail.

no its not a steryotype. but most serial killers are white guys, and most killers are guys, and most felons are guys. girls do that kind of stuff. but in real life dont get the respect like guys do. ive never seen a girl underboss or even part of a gang. they almost always dont allow girls in gangs.

There have been many famous women killers but there are probably more they just dont get caught. If GTA 4 went in a more fraud and money laundering direction then maybe a women character would be better but if they stayed in the same directiona s San Andreas then it wouldnt suit. It depends on what theme will be used.

lol yeah, but not more than men. and almost all suspected murders are men. the girls dont get caught cuz they dont do it. i admit there are alot of women who kill but compare it to how many men kill its like 1/8 to 1. and yeha if the game is more to less killing ther could be a women.
