    I haven’t really put much thought into it, but yeah.

    Chances are the story is going to be heavily compromised. There will probably be a lot of comparison to GTA V and a lot of people will say “this was an out of touch, stupid story with lame characters” or something like that.

      This one has a female protagonist, so I look forward to not being able to differentiate between legitimate criticism about the game, and reviews from man-children that are mad that women exist.

      And then if the single player experience bombs, I also look forward to Rockstar pointing to the female protagonist as the reason, and not because they’re pouring all their resources into micro transactions.

        I personally feel like it will be pretty easy to recognize whether different pieces of criticism are outright misogynistic, borderline, or not misogynistic.

        I do think that if the story is getting called “too woke” and resembles Veilguard or Concord in tone, that’s actually legitimate criticism, separate from outright misogyny.
