It first rankled me during an early cutscene where an NPC is watching porn. I don't remember 'Vice City', or 'San Andreas' for that matter, hating women with quite so much venom as this game.Įven if we somehow ignore the endless line-up of misogynistic characters (you're not supposed to like them so it's 'okay', right?) The game is constant and consistent in its depiction of women as something that exists only for belittlement at the hands of men. Replacing him with a "good guy" for 'Stories' is the game's first misstep, but it's far from its biggest. Tommy Vercetti was a cartoon character, and 'Vice City' was all the better for it. All subsequent GTA's have characters that try to be more rounded, more functional even in their dysfunction. Given this is the only game in the entire franchise to use this device, you have to wonder if it was a lucky accident. Tommy Vercetti was so unhinged that mass murder didn't seem an unreasonable way to spend an interval between dirt bike races. In giving you control of a lead character who was a self confessed psychopath, 'Vice City' side-stepped so many issues that skittled a lot of other games of this type - even of this brand. This was the dawn not just of truly three dimensional open worlds, but of Rockstar's trademark sense of humour. I would play into the early hours of the morning and then wake up a couple of hours later to get in some more game-time before work. In 20, I was addicted to the original game. It's been 17 years since I visited Vice City. Previous days' entries are linked in my profile. GTA: Vice City Stories for the PlayStation 2
More misogyny than I can handle for today's title from my 548 game backlog, I'm playing one a day, every day, for as long as I'm in lockdown.
