If we got DLC similar to GTA IV's, do you think there should be a female protagonist in one of them?

[lzw3]

No. I never liked the idea of playing as one in the first place.

[DarrenC1888]

Nope, not for me.

[Freezer89]

Sure, why the heck not? I can imagine playing a badass female like Elizabeth from IV.. not some very feminine like Kate though.

Wouldn't feel right. I'd never imagine a woman doing anything of the sort IRL.

I'd never imagine ANYONE doing any of the sort IRL.

How can I kill hookers to get my money back with a female protagonist?

[Zip87]

A strong, independent woman who don't need no man. GIRL POWER!

In all seriousness, no. GTA isn't a sci-fi.

Male hookers? Also she could be a lesbian (or bisexual). Anything is possible.

I have no problems with a female protagonist so long as it fits the story and doesn't feel forced or contrived. But therein lies the problem with a female lead in a GTA. The game has always been about parodying western society as well as parodying the over-the-top masculinity that is portrayed in everything from Hollywood films to professional sports within this society. Having a f*ckin' tough guy as the lead character has always been an integral part of the parody.

But, if developed correctly, a female could work in something like a DLC story. I'm thinking more along the lines of Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 type of masculinity though. Anything less just wouldn't be GTA worthy.

[Raynos]

Hmm, for GTA, a story focused game, I don't see it happening, I wouldn't want it.

Lesbian females who are the strong confident types are trying to be men anyways, so f*ck that.

Male all the way. I don't want a game where I cook food, wash dishes and pleasure my man.

[mdgrncw]

This is a dumb question to ask a male dominated forum. I think it could be interesting given the sexist vibe of the game. Every game views women as objects or tools. The only positive female I can think of is elizabetta or however you spell her name. So to ask this question your just going to get nothing but no because they're so used to sexism. I think it could be interesting but I know it is not going to happen.

[Beez]

Yes. My wife plays games too but not GTA. Maybe a female protag would get her interested.

[UsamaGK]

male are better protagonist's compared to female.i will go with a big NO.

[ficko88]

I'm ok with the idea as long as she's hot.

Yeah but would you really want to play as a high class female hooker?

I mean, how else would the story make sense if you're a hot woman?

I love females, they are good for a lot of things but as a protag, what story could you attach to them? Cooking and cleaning would get boring, maybe you get to have a baby?
They'd have to tune the driving to unbearable controls to accurately represent a female driver.

[fiftyyy]

Are you insane? Dont answer.

[Official General]

I'd say no. If did happen I would'nt buy it

[Street Mix]

As long as she's smth like Lara Croft or that chic from CoJ Cartel then why not?

I totally agree with this too. That's why I like it as a DLC idea or if there's indeed multiple protags. Viewing the same world from a female pov could really help the parody. It'd be an interesting twist.
