When given the choice, I always play as a female character. I'm already a man 24/7, why continue that in games I play to escape reality?

Not interested in...

Metroid.

Perfect Dark.

Mirror's Edge.

Parasite Eve.

Portal.

Half of Resident Evil.

All of these pivotal, classic games have great female protagonists, and came out before Obama got elected... probably before this person was even born?

Maybe somebody could try the 'return to tradition' approach with this fool.

I bet these dudes have no problem playing Tomb Raider.

And they were real pissed at the end of Metroid.

I am man. I once played Tomb Raider and now my tits are huge!

I can't be immersed in a game unless it's literally me in a mundane setting with no fantasy/sci-fi etc. elements. /s

I'm not interested in playing as a Witcher. I am a regular human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for witchers and one for regular humans.

Alan Wake 2: you can play with both: Saga and Alan. Gamers: Nooooo, I want to play only as Alan Wake.

This guy wants to look at a man's ass for 40 hours straight.

Me too, thanks.

Real talk:

Representation matters.

My lady friend doesn’t want to play anything that makes her play as a dude if she can avoid it. She does sometimes but she has a strong preference for games featuring female protagonists. She did enjoy playing as Geralt though

This is exactly why I can't play any of the metroid games. Also can't play Kirby because I'm not an androgenous pink blob.

I'm not interested in playing as an Astro Bot. I am a human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for robot and one for human.

Why are we sitting here discussing a troll? That's the most obvious bait I've ever seen.

I am not interested in playing as a male. As a male, I already go through life as one. I don't have the urge to experience that further. Breaks immersion.

I think Im missing the issue here. Wasn't the same argument used for adding female characters to games and transgender characters later on?

Kinda thought that's the goal, for everyone to be represented if possible. That said, I'm looking forward to game being focused on Ciri

its a story driven game

in the story these games expand on, ciri is the protagonist half the time. and the central story piece most of the time

hell, geralt is just some (badass) dude, ciri is the one filling the chosen one trope

i will always champion for character creators in any game. mass effect proved you could have a heavy "story based" game with two main versions of the single main character + the countless custom personal creations

for example it is an absolute crime star wars outlaws and the jedi ones did not have a custom human character but also not all of the amazing alien races you could of played. such. a. waste.

but also fuck off to those that just go 'boo girl/guy!" etc
