Q. There are people who still aren’t delighted by the treatment of women in your games.
A. Of course. But is their argument that in a game about gangsters and thugs and street life, there are prostitutes and strippers — that that is inappropriate? I don’t think we revel in the mistreatment of women at all. I just think in the world we’re representing, in Grand Theft Auto, that it’s appropriate.
So Houser's explicitly saying here that, in the world they're presenting, they're willing to make a huge effort to create the unusual and nuanced (for videogames, anyway) lead character of Niko Bellic but utterly unwilling to do anything to present women as anything other than sex objects in supporting roles? What a shithead.

I hope this 'switching' between characters in missions isn't a crucial element to completing a mission, I really don't want to do that. I don't mind switching characters when I'm in free roam however.
Those ATV pics are sweet!

and a full playable golf course !! I was actually pleased to hear them state that it was better hire coders to write mini games that are fun, rather then ones that are 'half assed'. A nice confession there to some of the dreadful waste of time mini games some of their games feature.

I like the pained growth attempting to do better character work in 4, but I don't think they finally got it right until the expansions.
