With nothing in the narrative to underscore how insane and wrong this is, all the game does is reinforce and celebrate sexism.” In an otherwise glowing review, GameSpot‘s critic labelled the new game as “profoundly misogynistic,” charging that the game presents “exaggerations of misogynistic undercurrents in our own society, but not satirical ones. It’s come up in several of the major reviews for GTA V. There has been a lot of talk recently about how Grand Theft Auto games treat women. She’s the rare example of a female character you’d feel good about rooting for. Of the dozens of characters with speaking roles in the game, of the many women featured as bit players in Rockstar’s new epic, Taliana Martinez is the rare woman in the game who isn’t the butt of a joke. She performs her part of the heist without any problems, at least in the version of the game’s grand, final robbery that I played.Īnd, yes, that’s what amounts to a respectable female character in Grand Theft Auto V. Her progress doesn’t count.Īnd that’s pretty much it.
You’re trying to get the most skilled help for the least amount of money to maximise Michael, Franklin and Trevor’s profits and progress in the game, after all. Or maybe it was just a signal from the game’s designers that choosing her was the most cost-efficient option for this decision in the game. Taliana: a talented woman who will work for less money. “This girl, Taliana, she’s supposed to be good, and she’ll work for way less than she’s worth, if you’ll believe that.” As I lingered on Taliana’s picture, he said something. But the portion of the take she was asking for from this big heist was low. I noticed that Taliana’s stats - her grades as a henchman - were high. That action amounted to virtually pinning her black and white photo to a planning board. A few minutes later, while planning the game’s big final heist, I chose Taliana.

So, when I dropped Taliana off to get medical attention and saw that this activated her as an available driver for any future heists, I decided I’d add her to my crew. By that time, I only had one major heist left available to me in the game. I’m not sure why it was there in my 40th hour. I’d driven past the part of the highway where she had crashed before. The Taliana scene seems to occur somewhat randomly. In the scene with Taliana, the now-seasoned Franklin is, however briefly Michael to this new, young criminal’s Franklin. In the 40 hours since, Franklin had met another of GTA V‘s playable protagonists, Michael, who became his mentor. In that way, she was like the Franklin I had started playing 40 hours earlier. Taliana is a low-level, rough-edged crook. The guy who was in the car with her - her remaining partner - had pulled a knife on her.
She blamed herself, to some extent, but she didn’t blame herself for the crash. Taliana was the getaway driver for a crew of crooks who screwed up. The conversation was between the two of them. Of the three GTA protagonists, I was playing as Franklin when I met Taliana. Along the way, she’ll tell you her story. She’ll get in your car, after which you’ll be able to drive her to a clinic to get medical attention. You learn this as you slow down enough to help her out. She’s one of GTA V‘s strongest female characters, though in this game, she only gets a handful of lines. A woman lies nearby, presumably thrown from the vehicle. The man who was in the car appears to be dead. If you’re driving north, up the west coast of Grand Theft Auto V, as I did in the 40th hour I was playing the game, you might spot a crashed car smouldering in the long ditch between the northbound and southbound lanes.
