Liberty Overlord Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Well before San Andreas came out there were very few African Americans that played Grand Theft Auto. When Vice City came out, I might have seen 1 African American purchasing it. When San Andreas came out it was half and half. Um, excuse me? That is just not true. Not true at all. I'll have you know that back in 2001, when GTA 3 came out, nearly everyone I knew who played it just happened to be black. I'll also have you know that the people who introduced me to GTA via GTA 3 were black. I don't know where you live, but where I live, GTA was very popular with the black community long before the release of San Andreas. So you're extremely misinformed if you seriously think that.

QuickDeath Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I agree with LO, to the generation that plays GTA doesent matter if the main char is black, white or yellow. It didnt seem weired to me at all when SA came out with African American as the main char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Not should gender. I think it will be a challenge for R* and if it was done well it would seperate them from the other game comapnies as thye broke away from the norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really make a difference what race your character is... Ok, then neither does gender. I just caught you guys in a corner. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ITS GENDER, RACE WHATEVER, the fans will like the GTA games either way. You guys just proved that by disagreeing with my "statement".

Spaz The Great Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Not even wasting my time quoting anymore, I'll just make a few quick outlines. 1. ANYONE can have a background story.... 2. A LOT of females play GTA. MOST of the females I know like the game. Are they as into it as my male GTA friends? No. But not because they are female, it just happens to be personal taste((one or two are laid-back gamers and a few are into slightly different types of games)). 3. There may have been a lot of black people playing GTA, but I assure you, the release of San Andreas DID increase the numbers. 4. The ONLY male customers Rockstar will lose are IGNORANT MIS-INFORMED SEXIST ARROGANT ASSHOLES, kind of like half the people in this topic. I'm done in here for now.

Kitsune Inferno Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Actually most people hated him because he was a gangsta. And I bet that the people who are against a female character probably never got and never will get any You sick pervert in their lives, IMO.

Graehaus Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I think R* should include a character generator, they introduced stats in Sa, why not customize the character, play the character like the dude from GTA 3 no talking and it would be easy, and or if they had speak have both male and female voices available. Sure the game is/would be huge, but with the next gens and vista who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I dont mind if the main character in GTA 4 will be a female but it would be weird because in the previous GTAs all the main characters are male gender. It should be cool if the main char will be Tommy V's daughter. But thats my opinion and I'm sure a lot of people would prefere the male version of the character just to keep the tradition...

MrLlamaLlama Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 someone convinced me that a female is as tough as a male,but It`s kind of weird for GTA,just like the Character Customization.Why R* didn`t put a female character in previous GTAs?I think the character should be male,just like al previous GTAs. You haven't played the original gta have you? Though not, due to the fact there were MULTIPLE female characters in it. You just Failed... HA!

QuickDeath Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 If R* tends to be politically correct (which i doubt), then the GTA4 main character will be either a female or a gay, lets not forget about lesbians too, oh and communists are people too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh.. how'd you catch me in a corner if I mention I don't really care whether or not the character is female or male, after thinking about it?

DrSil Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Call me an Asiaphile, but I wouldn't mind at all if the main character was some badass Asian woman, perhaps someone related to Wu Zi Mu or Asuka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh my god, how can pixels turn you on. I find that pretty strange. Women arent just pretty things for you to drowl over shockingly enough Yeah, some of the replies in here are a little disturbing. Good to see someone making there voice heard Bear, top job. As for all this, I'm not sure about whether a female character will be the way to go or not. There male main characters approach so far as paid off well, and theres no saying how implementing a female character will go not only for fans but for critics of the gaming series too. We've seen how they have taken many other new features of GTA games, hidden or not. From what I have seen there fan base for GTA consists of just as many females as males. The center of most movies for example, that resemble a typical GTA game, is a male main character trying to get revenge or take over something with objects. But Rockstar are all about 'NEW', so lets see how it goes. As for me, I think it will be just as interesting either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatore Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) I would like that GTA IV has something with Vice City.I mean,it would be great if we meet Tommy Vercetti again in GTA IV.Our main character should be an Italian guy and Tommy his contact. P.S.Never let a female do the job!!! Edited January 22, 2007 by Salvatore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 How many times does it have to be said! GTA4 is a new series of games, GTA3 was a series of games containing GTA3, VC and SA. GTA4 and the games following it will NOT contain characters from other games. They already said that several times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah Salvatore, as much as I respect the fact everyone has their own opinion on the matter, you comment did sound a little sexist to me. You have to respect that there are also female GTA fans on this site. Thats my opinion anyway, we all have our opinions but in situations like these you need to what how you say put for that opinion.

Samiam3 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Id say yes because my new Final Fantasy was X-2, the protagonists are female, and they ,like, kick so much ass? Those girls in X-2 had the ability to kill something over 10x their size. Spaz I 100% agree with you, but it will take around 2 more you's to take out these gay sexists. And also guess, FF7 is like the most popular FF around and it has a girl named "Tifa" in it, and she has like, over 10 million fans!!!!!!

Red_91 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Samiam3? Anyway I would like to clarify that I am not sexist but I still think that GTA would be crap without a male charachter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
