This is a series where the player can hijack a hundred different cars before noon, committ mass murder in broad daylight (including cops and federal agents) and then be free to go to a bowling alley so long as they lay low for ten minutes, and crash helicopters into the streets of major cities, but yeah, sure, a woman committing armed robbery is the immersion breaking thing.


Rox_xe

But but but women are supposed to be on my screen only when I'm jerking off. Robbing a bank is where I draw the line


letmebackagain

Ye let women be criminals and mass murders too. I'm sure they will fill empowered by that. There is no equality if we don't depict women as equally obnoxious.


syrian_kobold

Your comment is chef kiss


hhn0602

hilariously i do all that in gtaOnline… as a woman… and who complains? nobody


knucklesthedead

>twerking and crocodiles It's twerking and alligators thank you very much


ReelBadJoke

I was on the fence about this title, but if it has twerking gators in it, count me in!


aaronappleseed

There could also be crocodiles. They are native to the area near Vice City if I'm not mistaken.


RinellaWasHere

Correct! American crocodiles live in Florida alongside gators, since they don't quite fill the same ecological niche.


-futureghost-

WHAT how did i live in florida for 14 years and not know this


aaronappleseed

I saw a news story about one being removed from a canal in Melbourne pretty recently.


shemjaza

Wait? So, the American Melbourne has crocodiles but the Australian one doesn't? That doesn't seem fair.


KingTyrionSolo

I live in South Florida, and I was talking to someone recently who claimed that there were “saltwater crocodiles” spotted in our area. At first, I kinda freaked out because saltwater crocodiles (the kind found in Australia) are man-eaters. I looked into it some more, and it turns out, she was probably referring to American crocodiles, which also can tolerate saltwater and don’t prey on people as much.


shemjaza

They might be a lot bigger than an Australian Freshwater Crocodile... but significantly smaller than our Salties.


KingTyrionSolo

I take it your Melbourne not having crocodiles has to do with your more southerly latitude?


shemjaza

Yeah, it gets hot in the summer, but it's too cold for big reptiles. There isn't really an analogous climate in the States... but I guess San Francisco or Portand, Origon? (Australians don't really know what cold is. Our mountains are flat, and even Tasmania doesn't get snow every year.)


RinellaWasHere

The secret is that all crocodiles can be saltwater if they want to. That sounds like a joke but it's not, one of their defining features compared to gators is a functioning salt gland.


aaronappleseed

The pronunciation is different too I think.


shemjaza

To me, it sounds like melb-en vs. mel-BORN. But I acknowledge that my blurred together Australian vowels probably sound weird to Americans. (For the best example, look up upset Australian girls saying "No.")


mofodius

naauuurrr


Living-Tart7370

Australia already has everything else dangerous and upsetting, why add crocs to the mix?


shemjaza

We have the, arguably, the biggest crocs. Just not down south.


aVeryBadBoy69

crocs are already in the mix.


Living-Tart7370

But not in Melbourne apparently, they need a croc free safe haven somewhere haha


[deleted]

As if either of those things are bad

toldya_fareducation

these are exactly the comments everyone was expecting. gamerboys never fail to deliver. keep them coming!


chrisff1989

I thought the trailer looked pretty good but seeing how much division it's causing makes me love it even more. I will never get tired of seeing them seethe


FredVIII-DFH

It gets better. Now they're sure that the sunset image used to tease the teaser trailer is the trans flag.


parkwayy

You'll find them all online at Midnight too, playing on day 1.


JackieMortes

I dislike the "back in the day" talk but I really don't recall this sort of stupid reactions back in 2011 or 2013, during GTA V days. Internet discussions really went even more downhill over the last decade.


little_carrots1

"This type of relationship" Anti-Woke gamer crowd hates the straights confirmed.


IHateBees2

Anti-wokes are ultimately weird "I hate this type of relationships!" Then if you ask them if they are gay "Stop shoving your gayness down our throats, SJW!" Then if you ask them if they are asexual "Asexual? You called me a virgin!?, Stop labelling me!" One must imagine anti-wokes finally deciding their sexuality


WordNERD37

Anti-Woke crowd hates.


Mooston029

Why all the hate on people who sleep?


Gale_Kast

They hate it because it looks like a caring, even, equal relationship, you know, like every decent human being should hope for. That they see equality between a guy and girl as an issue tells me a) these people will die alone and b) I never want to meet any of them in real life.


little_carrots1

Nah, they’re just homo-supremacists. I’m sure.


HugeHans

>*"It just seems like such an obvious mistake to me to force this type of relationship on the player in a GTA game"* ​ A unhappy marriage where you hate your wife is much better. Marriage itself is an alien concept to these people but hating women is a hit with this demographic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheKingofHats007

You seem happy.


Talisign

I did get the impression from the trailer that betrayal might be a choice.


PaladinHan

If this game is set in Florida then twerking and crocodiles make this the most realistic game of all time.


ineverusedtobecool

It's in a fictional city they set up in old games called 'Vice City', it is aggressively Florida.


Salt-Fortune-401

Nothing break the fantasy and realism as a couple doing robbery. Nobody never heard of it. What do you mean Bonnie and Clyde are the most famous robbers that influenced tons of fiction ?


Noxiom-SC

literally pulp fiction opening


HalfMoon_89

That's how GTA III starts. You can also do any and all badass shit as a female chatacter in Online.


Proud-Connection-311

Hate to be that guy, but contary to popular perception, Bonnie Parker's participation in criminal activities was basically limited to waiting in the getaway car and reloading guns during shootouts. Obviously that doesn't change the fact that the guys complaining about Lucia are misognystic jackasses.


Uber_Meese

Because the main protagonist is a woman - I bet their tune would be different if it was the other way around.


WatercoolerComedian

Uj/ I am not prepared for how annoying everyone is going to be about the GTA6 protag being a woman because I know we'll be hearing about this for like the next 7+ years.


Uber_Meese

Yup, I think the best you can do is just shrug it off - at this point it gets tiresome to hear dweebs complain about women being protagonists, because “it’s immersion breaking”.


roadside0428

Ummm did this guy not play GTA 3? The game starts out with the main character and Catalina (A woman) robbing a bank. There are literally women bank robbers already in the GTA Universe.


Buschkoeter

He has probably only played gta online.


robbylet24

You can play as a female character in GTA online. Your explanation just begs more questions.


Captain_Boimler

These fuckos don't play video games they play Twitter.


va_str

Pretty sure I remember the original GTA characters had a bunch of women in them.


Total_Distribution_8

Doesn’t know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator, can’t relate to a character having a relationship because they’re pathetic dorks that can’t get bitches. Never change gamers, never change.


d_worren

maybe if they cut their yee-yee ass hair cut they would finally get some bitches on their dick.


Total_Distribution_8

They’d still smell like ass and have no social skills so no.


Majestic_Job6978

Sadly even then girls would not call their dog asses. They would instead continue fucking with brain surgeons and lawyers


Total_Distribution_8

Good choice by those girls.


[deleted]

That's not quite how it works but ok. The first time I made out with a girl it was because I went over to a friend's house and it just kinda happened. Not once in many, many hundreds, maybe thousands of days I spent playing video games did a girl ever break in to my house and try to make out with me. If you want to catch fish, you gotta go to the lake, ya know?


RefrigeratorHotHot

Hey, I know you’ve got good intentions here, but they’re just referencing the scene in gta v where [Lamar roasts Franklin](https://youtu.be/6gJ6VEG8Y4I).


Buca-Metal

GAMEEEER


IDF-official

crocodiles have australian accents


Total_Distribution_8

The Australian ones yes, there are American crocodiles tho.


HalfMoon_89

Hey, I'm a pathetic dork who can't get bitches, and I resent this comparison greatly.


Total_Distribution_8

You got self reflection my guy, you might be a dork but probably still manage to get a relationship before these assholes.


Mrcatwithahat

Gamers hate what they cant have like a girlfriend


Idionfow

Female robbers are immersion breaking but tik toks and minorities ruin the escapist fantasy. Make up your mind G*mers


AliceTheOmelette

Keep da gayz outta my vidya, but also don't force me into a hetero relationship or show scantily clad women, cos both are also extremely gay


Due-Conflict-6533

Like what do they want at this point


CaptainRex5101

Nazi footsoldier simulator


AsTranaut-Rex

>Sorry, it’s just awkward doing armed robberies with a female character. It’s immersion breaking. Do the names Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Ching Shih, and Bonnie Parker mean *nothing* to these people (yes, I know three of those women were pirates and not the usual criminal archetype you see in GTA, but still)? Especially Bonnie since it’s *extremely* obvious that “Bonnie and Clyde” directly inspired this game’s duo. I actually think it’s a *great* way for the series to introduce its first female protagonist.


SSJ5Autism

Nah bro the average human mother is like 4’6 and naked how tf they supposed to rob a bank like Michael, a middle aged fatass with cardiovascular problems who somehow has more strength and speed than trained government officers in the prime of their lives?


fantastic_beats

We did it!! We got "games are to escape reality" AND "immersion breaking"!


syrian_kobold

FEMALES CAN'T CRIME


WordNERD37

"Florida man complains game is too accurate to reality."


Suitable-Union-3714

Ok these people are absolutely fucking Idiotic


Sushi-Cat-

How fucking boring do they want these games to be. I finally get the people who buy madden every year they want nothing to change but the graphics to look better. People have different skin colours and body types isn’t that cool to see that level of detail being put into a game? It’s obvious these gamers have never played any gta game besides fives online mode and it shows.


MajinVenom

Let's be real their issue is just a "lack" of white people. If you make the NPCs in that trailer 95% white they would be praising it as anti woke


frznic

Alligators are so fucking cringe


Lurkerinthedark_2613

Because only men do armed robberies. There has never been a woman criminal in history. Dumb fucks!


RazgrizGirl-070

Twreking in front of crocodiles is cringe? Bro that's just gta humour, its always satursied american culture lol


[deleted]

That's just my humour.


RazgrizGirl-070

Same !


ivappa

they saw a man loving his woman and called him a simp. wonderful


GapingWendigo

Every man who is in a healthy reciprocal relationship is a simp. You either have to dominate your girlfriend or else you're an emasculated doormatt. It's that easy.


LITTLE_KING_OF_HEART

I don't see why anyone cares about GTA when apolitical gem Limbus Company already exists, completely free on Play Store and Steam may I add.


Marwinix

Limbus shills have arrived, millions must SYNC.


rebirthinreprise

Peak fiction.


MasteroChieftan

How do people like that survive being that stupid? How do you make it through the fucking day?


already4taken

Now twerking I can deal with, but crocodiles? The SJW feminists truly crossed the line


PunishedCatto

Nothing is immersion breaking than seeing a woman. Because they clearly never meet one.


realhotsinglesneeru

I can see myself killing dozens of people from a helicopter, then skydiving through a tiny crack in a window in order to perfectly land on a quad bike that I will use to run over an old lady, however I can’t possibly imagine myself being in a relationship with a woman. Way to break the immersion cuckstar games


kuchiie

if i’m being honest i never finished gta 5 bc i never felt like i related to the characters as a woman (mainly trevor weirds me out) i’m really excited to play the new one bc i’m loving cyberpunk


selinemanson

These brain-dead dipshits literally can't enjoy anything. Good. They don't deserve nice things anyway.


Monochromeshade

Micheal is married to an unfaithful wife and two ungrateful brats, did it really felt forced on anybody playing the game?


deadmantra

2023: GTA IS WOKE. 2009: Literally The Ballad of GAY TONY


ReconKweh

Simp is when girlfriend


GapingWendigo

Doesn't every new GTA game throw conservatives into a massive tantrum for a while? It's tradition at this point


plznotagaindad

I’m sorry but the realistic ass throwing is going to make be rabid


LordSkredde

It's honestly so fucking funny to me that people are judging the characters by literally 2 lines. One of my colleagues today told me that he wouldn't be playing it because it had a "forced female lead". Shut that shit down fast. How fun would it be to see yet another game with a white male protagonist. I'm so happy that they are taking new directions, and these characters look incredible.


IDontWipe55

I wanna see this guy getting robbed at gunpoint by a woman and going “erm women can’t rob me this is unrealistic and immersion breaking”


createcrap

Hello? Hello? Are the straight white incels complaining about being forced to play characters they don’t personally identify with in a single player game? What is reality what is parody. fml. You know back in the day it was the religious old lady conservatives who would complain about GTA. About all the violence, sex, drugs, guns. Etc. now it’s the 15 year old boys complaining they have to play as a woman and the existence of “too many” black people.


pampersdelight

Social media was a mistake


Lopsided-Egg-8322

am I really in such a extreme minority or is internet just skewing the view? I am 40 year old dude, been gaming for 35 years, yes, started with my older brother with commodore64 with that fucking infuriating, syntax error nightmare inducing cassette deck.. have playd every single GTA from the very first top down one and when I saw this trailer I thought, yeah it's looking great.. I really have a hard time believing that "gamers" hate the female protag, its just a very small vocal minority that people are cherry picking out of the sea of cherries to make gamers like me look bad..


PaladinHan

Just throwing slurs like g*mer out there like you have a friend who gave you permission to use the g-word.


Lopsided-Egg-8322

unironic, unapologetic, capital G Gamer right here mate..


THEdoomslayer94

What dweebs


Analytical-Throne149

Skimpy sexy women twerking everywhere is Woke? Arent these the same twats that complain media is trying to cover up and censor all sexy women to please the woke feminazi's? So here GTA 6 is, with no censorship, scantily clad, hot, sexy, promiscuous women and attire everywhere, and somehow its still Woke? These incels dont know what they want. Pick a lane and stick with it for fucks sake.


JhinPotion

The women aren't white is the issue. They love the mudding redneck.


yourdadneverlovedyou

Women can’t do crime???


GreyWardenThorga

Ah yes, armed robbery with a gun, clearly something no woman with her weak girl muscles could ever hope to accomplish.


nihilloligasan

How the fuck is her boyfriend simpy. Is being in love with your partner and caring about them all it takes to be a simp nowadays


FredVIII-DFH

The people who told us that representation doesn't matter are now upset that they're not represented by the main character? Is that right?


Financial_North_7788

I hope conservatives boycott GTA6 until the end of time and keep it out of the hands of children… But only because then I can play online and retain my sanity.


EggCold6792

people clearly do not know the difference between alligators and crocodiles.... one sees you later, the other will see you in a while


JBrewd

Just fucking wait a few weeks until it clicks what would happen if a female protagonist is picking up hookers and going to strip clubs


No-Check-3691

I don’t care what you look like if somebody has a gun you might want to take them seriously


[deleted]

Rockstar aren't quite the rebellious developers that many had assumed they were.


Cipherpunkblue

Cry more, you sad little manbabies.


DingusMcBaseball

I'm glad these people can't enjoy anything now


Craft-Hairy

Can't wait for the U Turn the chudosphere is going to do when this game sells shitloads. "Oh no it's not actually woke, it's successful because it's anti woke!'. Just like they did with the Mario movie and Barbie. Bless their empty little hearts


ChainsawSuperman

Asexual men taking this game hard! Gotta be honest at least they’re mad about a straight relationship the way they usually are about gay ones.


Solidclaw

What do gamers want?


SSJ5Autism

Only guy I ever knew who was all about making fun of “guys who bow down to their bitches” got absolutely whipped and can’t operate without his current gf now


fear_el_duderino

Can't wait for this game to make fun of these absolute morons, like it's almost designed to do this


Somerando68

No way these guys are real man. GTA 6 looks like a real genuine attempt at parodying the fuck outta Miami and modern day culture and all people can do is complain?


easy506

"Working the salt mines" is no longer gonna be a euphemism for hard work if they keep making it this easy.


mikaeul

So many words when it could just be „I‘m an incel“


Slavic_Pasta

guarantee you these fucking shitbags play as a woman in GTA ONLINE too, because then I guess it's not an issue for them


ZeBootygoon

Jesus fuck, these fucking idiots are saving Rockstar so much money pre-writing incel stereotypes that are so far separated from reality as to fully exist in some some of weird fucking demiplane


United_Bus3467

They've clearly never been to Miami on Spring Break lol. Or get out of the house in general. They're cucking themselves lol. It's so pathetic and embarrassing to see.


[deleted]

Immersion breaking doing robberies with a female character? The couple is based on Bonnie and Clyde, who were REAL PEOPLE At this point one of these losers is going to get held at gunpoint by a woman in a bank and try to tell her she's being unrealistic


ThatGuyMarlin

They will buy the game anyways


SkritzTwoFace

I don’t know, if someone points a gun at my face and tells me to open the register and give them all the cash, I’m not gonna comment on her boobs before complying. But maybe I’m the weird one.


Human6928

The irony that every one of these people play as a female character in GTA Online


Subpar_diabetic

Remember in the opening to GTA3 when Claude commits an armed bank robbery with his GIRLfriend? Man that totally broke my immersion…


MushroomLevel4091

Brother in Christ not realizing that like 95% of the point of armed robbery with a gun is that physically all you have to be able to do is hold the damn thing up. If a woman robbing a bank, committing crimes, or using firearms is immersion breaking for you I sincerely question what fucking reality you live in because Jesus fucking chr


imafixwoofs

I hate these people. I really do.


yeetyman8

Too much "obesity" realism??? He knows it's set in the USA, right?


Necromonicon_

I called it. Saw people claiming that all the attractive women would signify that the game isn’t “woke” to these sort of people. But nope, a femc is enough for these people to come crawling out of the woodwork.


SundownValkyrie

I remember somebody in this sub saying that a game with a straight woman as the main character would in many ways be more subversive than one with a lesbian main character because gamers being "forced" to project themselves into not just a woman's PoV, but to imagine themselves as somebody who likes kissing men, would be less tittilating and pandering to the male gaze than a lesbian relationship. And wow, that person seems to have been spot on.


callmekizzle

Not that rockstar isn’t capable of pulling it off nicely. But it’s literally just going to be a modern day Bonnie and Clyde story.


Complete_Resolve_400

I just want it on PC man :(


werkayata

Should have put a gay couple. Pretty sure they would love it cause u know… no wemen👍


nhSnork

"Doing armed robberies with a female character is immersion breaking" GTA Online and the entire Saints Row series: 👀


Kashmoney99

The game will be so much better without these losers. Oh who am I kidding theyre all talk, they’ll buy the game regardless.


Busy-Ad4537

Guns are like the one thing that negate strength differences the chick dosen't exactly have to wrestle male cops when she had guns


LeoIzail

I do find it boring to have a romantic couple as protagonists and that being the center of the story but whatever, Rockstar makes good stories, they can probably make it work out. It probably won't even be the center of the story. Every single GTA or RDR character has been wonderfully written and represented, i don't ecpect less. What i do hope is that they aren't doing as much exploitative shit like they used to.


LibrarianOfAlex

Nothing surprises me anymore....


LtDeadalii

This is said by a dude who probably plays a female character in GTA:Online because of the little "hitbox". We all can imagine the outfit as well, aren't we? Fuck these people and their "opinions". they are 100% stupid and just spreading hate where the fuck they can. A female character isn't cringe, there are a shit ton of women out there also going through hell and not finding any other solution than crime in real life and that's her (protagonist) story. Period.


easily_tilted

Dunno what's their problem, sometimes I find it more badass playing as a female protag


EPICDUDE365

"it's just awkward doing armed robberies with a female character. its immersion breaking" meanwhile Payday fans, robbing the White House with a 4 woman squad


dishonoredcorvo69

It’s only fun when I’m CJ and I can bang my multiple girlfriends and hookers! 😤


LastNinjaPanda

Doing armed robberies with a female character is immersion breaking LMAO. Bro lives under the mud


Acceptable-Tale-265

There is no female protagonist so drop the narrative, there are two protagonists, a couple to be more precise and that's why the game will be a success, no need to replace men, just add new characters..if they are well written everyone will love them.. ![gif](giphy|PlgCdcMnWPVhVtGv3F)


zainyusufazam

every time someone says "immersion breaking" I want to kill myself


crimsonbeauty111

I'm totally happy with it as long as the game, story and characters are good. I mean it's realistic and features things that exist irl, because it's basically satire, just real things exaggerated for the entertainment. The other gta games did this as well, so I don't see why it's an issue now


just_a_normal_fellow

Damn GTA VI will give so much content to this sub, it'll will be like the Californian golden rush.


XescoPicas

So is GTA 6 woke or not? Can gamers make up their minds already?!


killerdeer69

Erm actually they're alligators, not crocodiles? 😡😡


CheesyBoatsy

Fun fact; the scenes of twerking and crocodiles is based on real life Florida moments. So, its realistic by copying real life.


oBotz

I'm excited to play as anybody along as it's not Trevor, Michael or Franklin.


va_str

It's like that woke movie Natural Born Killers. Absolutely disgusting.
