So GTA VI is rumored to have a trans girl as a main character
On the one had, ok I don’t mind. On the other, I have a strong suspicion that shit’s going to hit the fan.
I am concerned specifically about the state of modern gaming as a whole and how it can cripple any potential Lucia has.
I generally think games like those should have character creation. With mandatory pronouns and trans options though, we can’t forget to stir the chuds as it is good and proper thing to do.
Saints Row* kiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda has this. Good cc and play a girl and you’re canon trans (tho it’s just people saying wow the boss sure looks really different since the last game)
I think the Boss can be considered Canonically Trans if you don’t play as a guy in SR2 and onward, since SR1 forces you to play only as a Male Boss.
I think people ingame will comment about how you look very different from how you were in SR1 anyway, due to having to undergo surgery in SR2 because you somehow survived in the boat that exploded in SR1 (and the explosion likely disfigured your appearance)
Can’t work in GTA because the story is clearly defined and can’t work for any character like, say, Skyrim or Fallout.
GTA SA can only work with a black protagonist, 4 with a slav, etc
They could write the game like that and define the story for any character, it wouldn’t suddenly stop being GTA.
The gameplay would still be GTA but the type of story would be totally different
So? Seems you are arguing for something really minor.
I think their point is that you’re giving up a lot of story potential by having to work around the player being a customizable character with no characteristics set in stone, they can’t really be characters as much as they’re just player stand-ins, which is a problem for a game like GTA where the player character is a well-defined, fleshed out character where various things about them matter a lot in the story, like Niko Bellic in GTA IV being from Eastern Europe and having fought in a war for example
Yeah i know that they mean that, but i still do not see how it is a problem outside of small formula change.
