Don't blame me, I voted for CrossWorlds. Which didn't even make it to the final selection.
I haven't played it, but that sounds exactly like I imagined it was going to be. It won because the lead was an angry dyke, and the other option was pissing off the "anti-wokes" who seethe at black people existing but don't care when the winner is a female supremacist.
And I didn't vote at all. Because this year's choices are all garbage.
The only new release I actually bothered to play was silksong and I'd say it's pretty good.
Meh, it's fun to vote. Nothing I voted for won though.
I voted for 007 First Light as most anticipated, because I truly believe Grand Theft Femslop will be an unparalleled dumpster fire.
Even without the beaner chick, they're never topping 5. With how most AAA games release these days, I wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 turns out to be the second coming of Cyberpunk 2077.
Even if she was white, it would suck. GTA stories are about morally grey protagonists, people who are both psychopathic and somehow sympathetic. Look at Michael De Santa, the former bank robber trying to leave that life. He gets dragged back in by Trevor's re-appearance, and you find out that he set the crew up in North Yankton to escape that life.
Can you imagine a story about a woman backstabbing her closest friends and allies, leading to one of them dying, purely because "she's done with that life"? Can you imagine the way women would react to being depicted in the conflicted way GTA protagonists are written in the modern era? No matter how you write her, to be a genuine GTA protag, she isn't going to come off as an ad for female empathy and morality like women demand every depiction of them does.
They're going to have to make him the evil one, while still not portraying her as merely deferent to him. It's going to be an absolute clusterfuck trying to make the female protagonist work. How can you depict women in the only way they accept, in a game like GTA that is built on the moral failings of the characters and how they influence the story?
