The GTA games allow gamers to choose who they want to be in the game. Sometimes they can’t do that in real life so it is enjoyable to have that persona in the game world.

To use terms/phrases like bloat and too many wickets, downplays this as a fundamental feature of the games. And it treats this feature as something that should be de-prioritized because it’s not “fun” for the chuds and it’s even taking the fun away.

I donvoted cuz representation isn’t a thing. It isnt ‘making up’ for anything. It doesn’t take time away from programming “fun” in. Everything op said was such an insipid, cataclysmically bad take that my finger hit the down arrow in self-defense, lest i be infected by his brainworm.

the very idea that it could is such a ridiculous assumption, it needs lots and lots of downvotes to help future posters understand just how bad a take it is. This could even help insure better posts can be made in the future by better people.

Representation doesn’t make up for bad game design.

It’s getting downvoted because the two are completely unrelated, making one of the main characters a woman has no impact on how the gameplay is designed, it’s certainly not a case where you can “prioritize” one over the other because it’s not like representation takes time away from the rest of development

Also, we have no idea what the gameplay is like, so the comment just sounds like it’s assuming that the gameplay must be bad because it has representation which is utter nonsense
