Do you have a problem playing as a female main character?

Hell no. Quite a few of my favorite characters are female. In games where I choose between Male and Female characters, I pick female most of the time (the only game where I don't really choose a female character is Pokemon, mainly because there's not that big a difference between the two character wise).

Not at all. I admit, I rarely choose a female character being given the option, but I have no problem playing as them.

I actually prefer playing as a female character.

I'm a pretty mature individual in my 20s and Bayonetta is one of my favorites.

However, mybe i shuld b mor matur.

:lol: I have no problem with it, but you couldn't tell that looking at the games I own.

Only if Hannah Montana or girls like that are the main character.

I'm a guy and if given the choice will take the female. It is a game kids, don't take it so seriously.

I prefer male (if you know what I mean) characters, but I never miss out on games over such petty matters.

The best one was and always will be Lara Croft ...from the older games anyway, since the changeover she has become a typical symbol of female independence poster-girl...

I can't stand any female MC who spouts one liners either and that's why I tend to avoid games with female MCs.

If given the option I'd rather play as a male. But I have no problem playing as a female character. Bayonetta was a breath of fresh air.

I theres an option to choose gender, I generally choose male. I don't know why but something just feels wierd if I personally choose female over male, especially in Mass Effect. But some of my favorite gaming characters are female, ie: Samus, Terra (FF6), Jade from BGAE, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 1, to name a few. :)

[QUOTE="eveileb-ekam"][QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"] i see what u did there... why do ppl always care for grammer and spelling in forums.? am not writing a formal essay here...do u speak formally with your friends? no...do u speak formally with ur boss and perhaps elders? yes...well this is a forum, so i write how i want.....only immature ppl notice and comment the spelling and informality. others roll with it because they know that this is a forum, not a job application...planbfreak4eva

Not at all I play as Samus,Jill,Sakura,Chloe and Bayonetta I don't have a problem.

i have no problems playing as females, but imo are tomb raider and metrious prime how ever boring. Also bayonetta looks crappy this freaking main dont appeal to me. Other games like Sh3 or Mirrors Edge work really well with females.

I have no problem playing as a female in a game. Not insecure.

nope, femshep and samus aran are awesome to play as

wouldn't have a problem in any other game either

female leads are generally awesome imo

[QUOTE="da_illest101"]

You have to be retarded to have a problem playing a game as a female character. seriously there is no other ways to put it

# of people it was even implied bayonetta had sex with in game? anybody? im pretty sure it was zero.

personally i found her to be awesome and hilarious over any of the 'omg im a grrl but im totally tough grr' or silent protagonist types. she had actual personality, which i know can be intimidating, especially if you dont talk to real girls

on topic its irrelevant, i would play as an anthromorphic toaster if the gameplay was good

Games need MORE female leads.

I usually find a female main character easier to like than a male one, too often the male lead character tries to hard to be "the man".

I think the last time I played a game that had a female main character was Metroid Prime 2.

depends on how she looks like. tomb raider for example, now that i dont mind

Im fine playing as a female character as long as no other male characters trying to hit on me ala Mass Effect :Ptonyleo01

Female protagonists are often the best of play. Julie Strain, Cate Archer, Lara Croft to name a few.

I resist making a female in my MMOs because that is just not honest even though I know it is hard to tell who is really who sometimes.

Eventually you will be able to tell and I have uncovered several "female impersonators" in the course of my games.

I don't mind playing as female lead, the character just has to be nice. Samus is great, so is Heather from silent hill 3. I also like most girls in fighting games. When it comes to rpg, I tend to choose male though.

In Tomb Raider 1 she had an almost amazing ambition to acquire whatever it was humans weren't meant to wield. She had an interesting lifestyle and classy background... generally she was an interesting character. When it came to cutscenes she would seem almost sporting about having competition in an albeit flirty sort of way. Look at what happens when the new devs take over... I am glad they revamped the series but they turned her into a slightly naive, inexperienced explorer... I would have no problem with that if it didn't seem out of character from the first game.

I just don't like that "I can do it too" vibe I get from some female MCs... A main character shouldn't act like they have something to prove.

I dont like to play with female character and Lightning(FF13) just gets so much on my nerves that i barely can play game :)

Bus-A-Bus

Not at all, I don't mind playing with a male character or female, I have no preference for either.

I love the Metroid series and Samus is cool, Zelda is my best character in the Smash Bros games (in Brawl anyways), I've used female characters in fighting games before, whether it be Chun Li from Street Fighter, Taki from Soul calibur, or Litchi or Noel from Blazblue.

And Bayonetta is great too, and is not just "some ho." She does have a personality, and an awesome and humorous one at that, and also she can take care of herself quite fine and is very powerful. She also has a deep story behind her as well.
