The fact that you can't play as a woman in the main story is definitely a disappointment. Hopefully an upcoming expansion or GTA 6 will change that. That said, most of the female NPCs I see in a typical GTA session are store clerks, irate drivers I crashed into, businesswomen, random yoga moms or trendy 20somethings…

I wouldn't worry too much about any precedents. Australia isn't exactly known as a model of level-headedness when it comes to adult-rated video games. In GTA's case, the market has already spoken. The game has sold like hotcakes and will continue to do so in future installments. I'm sure the same pearl-clutching…
I don't get how this applies to GTA and not to other free-roaming sandbox-style games that let players go on NPC killing sprees if they so choose. Don't games like Fallout and Assassin's Creed also let players act like depraved murderers?
#22 is not Eastern Promises. It's a screencap from The Indian Runner (though Viggo's peen is on display in both movies).
Bitterness, and an inability to self-reflect or deal with a nuanced, adult world correlate heavily with a conservative worldview. Major red flags include just-world victim-blaming, griping that political correctness has "run amok" or done "more harm than good", and the general sense that things used to be fine until a…
It's an age-old derailing tactic. The false dilemma of "no point in discussing problem A because somewhere in the world there's a more severe problem B going on".
Cultural critics aren't whiners or hypocrites or "sitting on their ass" for pointing out the faults they see in a thing while failing to produce a superior thing. A film critic doesn't have to build a film studio from the ground up and produce a superior movie to Django Unchained if he doesn't like Django Unchained. A…
The problem with them is that [wearable cameras] are expensive and no one wants to pay for them.
It's probably a mix-up with "artesian" which describes a type of aquifer, not a skilled craftsperson.
While those are the true pronunciations, pronouncing foreign words like "croissant" or "tostones" exactly like a native speaker comes across as irritatingly affected in most English-speaking situations.
Exactly. Console games already let you adjust screen borders, gamma, difficulty, button configurations, gore, audio, etc etc. Offering two display options isn't going to boggle anyone's fragile mind.
Yes. Since we all know feminists can only act in total unison with a single monolithic purpose, feminism can only address one aspect of society at a time, while everything else is completely ignored. Kind of like the Eye of Sauron.
Rugged, independent, pistol-packin' txJM here ain't like the rest of you sheeple. Y'all better keep that disgusting faggotry in the closet and off his teevee screen.
Pro-gun and revolted by gay men being openly affectionate. There's a surprise.
It may seem like this is some new thing but the pop culture landscape hasn't changed that much. The swords & wizards fantasy genre may have been reinvigorated by LOTR but typical "nerd" things have always had bankable mainstream appeal.
Video games are way behind movies when it comes to well-written female characters, and that's mostly due to video games being a newer and less mature medium. Writing a good female role isn't as simple as giving Rambo a sex change. And you don't have to tiptoe around a constricting set of politically progressive dos…
I'm guessing Spacey is some kind of mega-rich, Blackwater CEO type who uses a terrorist attack as a pretense for employing his own super army to dismantle the squabbling, ineffectual US government. The person (or people) you control are wise to his plan and attempt to stop him because the system isn't perfect dammit…
Whatever term you prefer, the blue and white aircraft in question is definitely accessible online via legit means - it's just limited to user-created deathmatch instances.
