:P No I prefer female leads, they are nicer to look at. Anytime I play a 3rd person game with an option to pick male or female, I usually pick female. If I'm gonna stare at an @ss for hours I'd rather have it be a shapely female one.

No I don't mind. If there is a choice I'll pick a male but I have no problem playing femal leads. For example Heavenly sword I purchased day one.

Only if they're ugly. Thankfully, developers know we gamers love boobs and near-perfect damsels. /nopride.

I think developers should stick with what sells regardless of what that is. Risking millions of dollars and peoples jobs to make a political statement is not a good idea. If people wanted gay gnomes as leads that is what I would make. I really wouldn't care. That said, if everyone is doing the same thing there is almost always a niche market to be found but I have absolutely no problem with publishers wanting to make games they believe are marketable regardless of the reasons why.

It was never a problem for me when I played as Yuna in X-2.

Nor was it a problem for Metroid.

I don't have issues with female characters in games like Tomb Raider or Quantic Dream titles, but I dislike females as some badass muscular, huge boobed and huge assed characters from titles like Gears of War and similar. Yeah, yeah, Lara Croft is similar, but Tomb Raider isn't exactly a shoot-em-up title like GoW.

Only thing female characters are good for are 3rd person games so I can check her out and nude patches again so I can check her out.. When I'm playing a game I want to believe I'm that person. Spiderman, Mario, Link, John Marshall, Nico B, Agent 47. I don't feel connected playing a girl because "wait for it" I'm not a girl.

Never cared about the sex of the main character. If the game interest me I'll play it regarless. I really don't see how is that important to anyone.

I prefer having a well written lead character regardless of their gender. Sadly the industry is bigoted against well-written characters so lets make a big deal and protest the industry until we see some change!

I have a problem with female characters when they are written poorly. Too often, developers seem to think they are breaking new ground even though they are often just pushing a stereotype. Having a female lead character isn't compelling just because it's a female.

Oh look this guy is saying stuff again.

It just occured to me,that until I read a perview in EDGE magazine a few days ago,I had almost literally no idea what this game was about.

Every time I heard about this game,it was the dev flexing his "right-on"credentials - "hey look how edgy we are,we got a mixed-race female as our lead,they said it couldn't be done but we're stickin' it to the man!!!!"#fighthepower.

Doesn't bode well for the quality of the game tbh.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]Problem? no but sorry im not a fan of barbie or hello kitty. I prefer playing as Badass Male characters. female characters make game less hardcore and more casual

Agreed. Unless the game is some sort of kitchen simulator why force me to play as a sandwich making unit?

If I have an option to play as a female 90% of the time I would play as the female character.

The only time I don't but I can choose is Pokémon which I always choose a male trainer.
