But he can’t help getting back on the horse. The deal he made meant that he theoretically never needs to work again. He struggles with the decision he made, but he made it for the good of his family. He loves his family, but doesn’t understand his children, and has trouble relating to his wife. He has anger ‘issues’, and is prone to violent outbursts and is currently in therapy. He was given a new identity, along with a nice house and a generous stipend in a deal with a dodgy FIB (the in game equivalent of the FBI) 10 years prior (which necessitated him betraying his friends and faking his own death), but is railing against the enforced idleness. Michael is a middle aged, semi retired gangster (according to his backstory, a petty thief, sometime pimp and eventually moved on to bigger heists/bank jobs) with a wife (a former prostitute and stripper) and two children.
You can skip between them at will, or sometimes are required to play as a specific character for a mission. There are thr ee playable characters in the game. So I have broken it into a few different sections. I am aware this is a bit of a mammoth post. However, there are major issues with the games (and hence its developers’) treatment of women. The writing was a little shonky, but it’s a videogame, not Umberto Eco. I was genuinely interested in where the story was going. It looks great (if somewhat dated due to hardware constraints-it is at the tail end of current gen after all), the gameplay is fun, and the characters are engaging. As a game, considered solely on those merits, it succeeds. Firstly, yes I have finished the game-I have completed the main story mission and the majority of the side quests.
Having said all of that, it is worth me saying a couple of things right at the start. Do not bother to comment that ‘it’s a really fun game’. If you haven’t played the game but plan to, maybe skip this till afterwards. These are well enough documented.Īlso, there are major spoilers in this review. Please do not bother to comment on how men are treated or on other problems within the game. Note: In this review I am predominantly going to be looking at depictions and treatment of women in the newest GTA game.
