Ooo! Gossip is so juicy when it’s regarding a popular franchise! This week, The Koalition featured an editorial that highlighted Rockstar’s decision to exclude a female character in GTA V. With all the controversy on this topic, you’d think this would be a bigger issue. Also in this video, check out Electro Jade’s view on Call of Duty: Ghosts, and the top new releases of this week.
Game on!

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
From their most recent entries in the GTA franchise to their cult favorite racing games, find here the best Rockstar games, ranked from best to worst.
Rockstar Games has released a new update for GTA V that patches the game to version 1.006.002 on PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.
Wtf why remove a function that wasn't tied to licensing and was promoted as a selling point back in the PS4 and x1 release.
There's also trophies dependent on this
Glad to have some new material. :)
I wouldn't mind a female protagonist for a GTA game if done right. The issue is that Rockstar has little to gain from doing so. The fact that 47% of gamers are women in an industry where 90%(or more) of game protagonists are male speaks volumes to how unconcerned people are about the issue.
It's similar to how the majority of gamers are minorities, yet we aren't overly distressed that most protagonists are early 30s dark haired white guys. As a Latino playing a game, I've never said to myself "Oh, I can't play as a white guy! How could I ever relate to him?"
Similarly, I can't imagine many women not playing a game simply because they can't play as their gender.
Again, female protagonists are brilliantly implemented in games like Mass Effect and Saints Row, so it COULD work in GTA. Theres just not a big enough outcry for it yet.
i loved Heavenly Sword and i have no problem with the female protagonist... GTA should have a female protagonist as an option. having said that GTAIV was crap so i'll be staying away from GTAV. Sorry.
Is she high?
But is it really that big of deal when you can't play as a character who shares your race, gender, and/or ethnicity? You'll be playing as human being most of the time, so you'll always be able to relate to them on some level.
I'd think that most gamers would have a mindset similar to my own. I only care about the gameplay. I don't care about the specifics of my characters race, gender, or ethnicity.
