Men have many interesting (and quite disturbing) facets to their personalities, but for some alien reason, we are only able to portray one of these characteristics at a time. For example, many men can be both sexual deviants and highly educated, strong jawed role models, but none of them will be both at the same time. Find me a man that's teaching his son a valuable lesson about real estate while taking a whipping from two women in domino masks; it just isn't done.
And that's why we, as men, often look to role models for both guidance and approval. And while the realm of video games has no shortage of male characters - most of them trying desperately to be badasses - there are only a select few that can truly be listed amongst the manliest of men, showcasing different aspects of our complex (but often misunderstood) emotions.
Essentially taking his cue from Tony Montana, GTA: Vice City's Tommy Vercetti, voiced by alpha-male Ray Liotta, accents the male's need for stimulation of his surroundings. Tommy encases himself in fine florescent clothing, cocaine, slutty women, crime, and power, just as all wanna be alpha-males wish to be. While he's not exactly a model citizen, he is truly a standup guy amongst the criminal fraternity. Tommy's willingness to speak his mind also shows his confidence, a key factor in the male gaining all of the aforementioned luxuries he wishes to gain in his lifetime.
