Turns out every box copy of mass effect 3 has a flipable cover. The other side is completely the same expect that female Shepard is on it! So please femshep fans, quit your bitching. You finally got what you want.

I call her Lady Shepard. Hmph!

What's this female shit? Shepard's a dude.

Nope.

Now if they'd just use my horrifically scarred evil female Shepard.

Yeah, neither of those look like my horrible monkey-man Shepard.

Perseus Shepard aint no hoe wut chu talkin bout?

(Yeah his name is perseus wanna fight about it?)

who the fuck still buys boxed games?

Yay, they hid her inside the box! At last, misoginy is dead!

Male Shepard on one side, female Shepard on the other. But where is shemale Shepard! They need to make covers with three sides.

My Shepard also looks like a monkey man!

I think Garrus will like. Least he does in my game saves hehe.

After I finish my first playthrough with my Alpha Shepard, I'll reverse the cover before I begin my Femshep playthrough.

No reason not to have both!

truly, it is just another showing from progressive video game powerhouse Bioware

I don't know why people like that Male Shepard. He looks like a douchebag. Just take off the armor and slap on a wifebeater and we get Kevin Federline.

So the woman is inside? Inside where she belongs, is that how it is, Bioware?

Are you guys seriously complaining(albeit sarcastically.) that Bioware added another boxart you can switch to? Or are you just joking? God I hope so.

I'd rather put my shepard in her box.

I don't see why it can't be both. There's no reason why they both couldn't be on one cover, is there?

Because male Shepard is the canonical Shepard, so yeah. He's obviously going to be the important one, and having 2 Shepards on 1 box would be stupid.

You guys will find anything to complain about, good to know.

Yeah, putting a representation of the idea that you can choose what your character is like on the cover of a RPG game is such a dumb idea.

Only you guys would be able to complain that Bioware made 2 different box arts and are putting both of them in every copy of the game, simply because both Shepards aren't on the same box.

Never change guys. Never change.

Dammit BioWare, let me be sexist and ignore lady Shepard! CURSE YOU!

Still buying day one, because I'm not that crazy.

then half of the starting boxart should start as male, and half should be female

@CL60: only you would be able to complain that people want equal representation.

Never change. Never question your privilege.

That is cool.

Fact

This is completely unacceptable, Bioware.

How come Bioware didnt license the Tiger Woods technology and put game face in ME3. As horrendous as the user created faces can be, they will never be as terrifying as seeing your face being stretched like a rubber mask across your avatars head. And then they could have just put a little mirror on the cover instead.

I'll use the male Shepard cover. I don't like Jennifer Hale's Shepard (and SWToR trooper) voice. She tries to sound tough but it sounds so forced and ridiculous.

Flip the piece of paper? TA-DA!!!!! FEMALE!! For fucks sake. People wonder why Bioware fans are so defensive lately. it's because of stupid ass complaining like this.Bioware adds a second boxart, like people have wanted, then you just switch and start complaining that it's not equal, and you want both on the same side.

it's not like the game is advertised with the male character front and center and anyone who hasn't played it would assume you just play as dutch model dude and could not in fact be female shepard

oh wait

they could've even gone the catherine route, default to male on the 360 version and default to female on the PS3 version, but nope MALE SHEPARD IS SUPERIOR 100% OF THE TIME

Holy shit this thread. This is an example of misogyny?! Some people look to be offended by anything.

and some people just react to the blatant and not to the subtle? just because it's subtle doesn't mean it's not misogynistic.

Thank you, sir. Someone had the make the joke after that set up.

@CL60: Oh, poor Bioware, they're so opressed by us feminazis!

Are you a time traveller from the 19th century?

No! Shepard's a bald black colonist vanguard! Why isn't that version on any of the covers?

I'm done. This is fucking stupid. Adding something people wanted is apparently bad because it's not "equal." Male Shepard is the canonical Shepard, and has been used for marketing since the beginning since he's the default canonical guy. Deal with it. They notice their fanbase wants femshep too get some love. So Bioware says. Alright, and adds a flippable cover, so those of you who like femshep, can have a cover that reflects your game. But NOPE!. Still gonna say FUCK YOU BIOWARE! THIS ISN'T EQUAL TO ME!

I hate the internet.

holy shit...

i guess people will bitch for just about everything...

the internet hates everything

@CL60: yeah being equal is hard work

Where's the Shepard who was born with the wrong chromosomal pair? Where's that equality?

I was going to comment and say that I wish more game companies had flipable box covers (as soon as I got Resistance 3 I flipped it instantly), but instead I am just going to back away from this thread slowly.

@CL60: Actually, there is no canonical Shepard. That's the point.
