Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

A latina protagonist opens up a lot of jokes to be honest.

The best part of San Andreas was Catalina's outbursts. She was dragging CJ along the whole time and he was like yes, dear.

That's kind of what I would hope the dynamic is between the two protagonists, since they're saying it's a Bonnie and Clyde thing. An overbearing and hotheaded latina and a dude who's just sick of this shit would be a perfect comedic duo.

Thing about multiple protagonists is that you gotta know how to write and interweave their respective storylines properly, with GTAV R* mentioned Michael was the first protag they thought up, and it shows. Every single beat that moves the plot forward is Mike-related, from destroying Madrazo's house, the heists, the cover up with Dave, the truth about Brad... You could demote Trevor into a secondary character or non playable antagonist and the game would play off pretty much the same

Hell you could remove Franklin entirely and nothing much would change

It's odd how they kinda dropped the ball when it came to that in GTAV, yet in IV they pulled it off extremely well, and that was a story where all three characters were only together at the same time for under a minute. Also not related but I find it funny how Niko and Johnny were real cool with each other (Johnny even compliments how much of a badass Niko is) yet in the next mission Niko kills Johnny's friend Jim lol.

The best part is that he's not even doing it because he's into her, or trying to suck up to her.

He's just utterly baffled by her. He basically just stares in quiet bewilderment and exasperation as she chimps out. Like she goes fucking apeshit, and he's just like "Wtf is your problem, lady?" and that's why it's so funny.

Can't wait for years down the line when whoever's making this video to make memes going "GTA VI...Man it was disappointing."
These are the same people who actually had hope that the Definitive Edition trilogy wouldn't be a trash fire even though it ended up being one and every sign pointed to it being one. These people deserve to get ripped off when GTA VI rolls around

I believe he only wanted to work with Catalina to pay off The Truth for weed that Tenpenny roped him into. And he was Cesar's cousin.

And the crazy sex was probably good. It always blows my mind that Catalina and Claude were together for 9 years. Obviously 3 didn't have much of a story as is and they couldn't exactly have known what San Andreas' story was going to be when they wrote 3, but you would expect more of an emotional dynamic between the two of them in 3 considering how long they were an item.

They were the Bonnie and Clyde of GTA. Claude knew when to keep quiet; it was a perfect relationship.

You'd be bewildered if you've seen a woman like her.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Real talk, the best move they could make is just have no one bring it up. Like yeah, she can still be called a bitch and stuff, but just have no one specifically shit on her for being a woman, or even really acknowledge it.

Slightly OOC for the world of GTA, but if they're going to have a female protagonist it's the best way to handle shit like that.

Playing it straight like she's "just one of the boys" would be ignoring the elephant in the room, not a viable option.

Well, out of all the options they can do with a female protagonist, it's the best one simply because it wouldn't be super fucking annoying.

 

[The Last Stand]

I'm still going to yell on the mountains that they should've adapted an Ann Savage or Jean Harlow caricature with their "female protagonist."

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Well, out of all the options they can do with a female protagonist, it's the best one simply because it wouldn't be super fucking annoying.

They could embrace it and have a different type of playstyle or missions for her. Males and females have played differently forever in gaming, just do it here too.

 

[The Last Stand]

I just want to say fuck you to rockstar games for that terrible remote control helicopter mission from Vice City. I never could complete that mission.

People call Demolition Man, the Avery mission with the RC heli and timed dynamite, a difficult mission. It's actually not if you know how to fly and know where the coronas are located.

The NPC dialogue during the mission is a riot.

You want me to DRILL you?!
CRUSH, KILL, DEMOLISH.

This mission is fine compared to the one you do to the Haitians, every Haitian mission on this game can go fuck itself.

I would be ok to play as a Female GTA character if she was like Catalina from the III/SA

That makes me glad I played the later PC release of GTA SA speaking of RC missions. If you think that Vice City mission is bad, they made the Zero missions too hard on the original PS2 release that even David Cross couldn't beat it.

 

[The Last Stand]

That was MY first thought. Bombs Away! was annoying to do the INTENDED way.

How I beat it: run over the Haitians with the plane, THEN blow up the vehicles. Running them over takes a while.

Did they make it easier for the PC version? I beat all the Zero missions on the first try a few months back and thought I'd suddenly become a God-tier 1337 gamer or something.

I remember almost breaking a controller doing those on PS2.

A latina protagonist opens up a lot of jokes to be honest. I personally would have gone the chola route instead of the leaks suggesting she's a dirty cop but assuming it's set in Vice City and she's Cuban I can see a lot of ways you could make a character like that funny. Which means they aren't going to do it of course.

I don't know, there's only so many times i can hear the word "pendejo" coming out from a nasally high pitched voice before wanting to shut the thing off, for some reason absolutely everyone thinks latinos only know how to speak broken english weaved with random spanish words every now and then

I can hear her voice already fuck

"Catalina, baby! Without you, THERE IS NO Carl Johnson!"

That would be the extremely obnoxious and annoying way to go about it, but thinking about it, yeah, even in the "golden age" of Rockstar that's what they'd do with a latina protagonist. I doubt she's even going to be that considering it's modern Rockstar, though, she'll just be a serious and dour no nonsense boss bitch that gets shit done like every other female protagonist.
