I found that many guys for whatever reason will not buy a game simply because it is someone of the oppisate sex. I guess because they have a harder time realting to them?
no. I mean I always choose female when I get to create one but if I was to not play a game because I was a male character it would severely limit my game playing choices
@YI_Orange: When Final Fantasy XIII came out, more then a couple people told me they weren't getting it simply because the protaginist was a female.
I know people like this. It's usually people who don't play alot of games. They assume things. It's not even young people. Some of my friends who are not gamers laughed at me for my purchase of Eternal Sonata because of the girl on the cover and the field of flowers
If I don't play a game it's never for that reason. Sometimes I'll play a game because of that. Sometimes a female lead can make the game hold together better than a male lead can. And Vice versa.
Depends. Look at Portal 2: it had a female protagonist and I loved it. Also, in RE5 I don't mind playing as the female character and would play through the whole game as her (wouldn't bother me). However, I hate games, like diablo, that choose a gender for you based on your class choice. For example, in Diablo, the hunter character is always female. Also, in Sacred 2, the hunter character is always female.
Now, I enjoy playing snipers in games, but I hate having my gender chosen for me in video games. If I want a male hunter, and the game does not allow it, I lose interest. Same goes for when I want a female warrior and there are only males available. It bugs the hell outta me!
I played lady Shepard in Mass Effect 1/2 . . . and dude Shepard. Dude Shepard wins, but lady Shepard is pretty damn good too. Also, many other games with women protagonists. Why anyone would care, I don't know.
I always make a lady character, so of course. I actually dislike games that only allow me to play males. No idea why, I just hate playing guys in games. I think it might be because they are always generic bald tough guy that has no personality.
Of course that doesn't matter, though I haven't played all that many games where the main character is a female. Honestly, I always avoided Tomb Raider because they made her so much of a sex symbol.
I said Depends on the Game cause I don't want to play a game where you play as a lady having sex with men.
In what game is that an issue? I'm not able to think of any game where the only character option is female and at some point she has sex with a male supporting character. That scenario could certainly happen in Mass Effect 2, but in that case it was the player's choice to be a woman. So what game actually does this?
BTW, i picked the option where I'd play the game because it doesn't matter to me.
I always create ladies in RPGs because they're more fun to play. Not playing a game because of sex, race or sexual orientation is juvenile and narrow minded. Not playing a game because it's a bad game or the game play isn't something that interests you should be the only criteria.
As a person of the fifth gender (cloxyzz) I'm pretty much only able to relate to Q-bert and those glitches that occur when you put in a random Game Genie code on Super Mario

I don't play games with purple boxart.
I stand corrected. Not playing a game because it's a bad game, the game play doesn't interest you, and it has purple box art should be the only criteria....I'm lookin' at you, Spyro!
I not only refuse to play a game with a lady person as the main protagonist, but I refuse to play a game with a woman in it period! So yeah, Tetris and Galaga are pretty much it.
