Does Gender Matter To You?

Posted by Glen on Feb. 26, 2011, 12:53 p.m.

Does it make a difference if you play a female/male character in a game? Do you prefer one or the other?

I ask this because too often do I see males being the main character of a game and wanted to know if I made a game where you played a female, would that be a turn off to male players? I actually wouldn't mind. It's something different. Every game that I played with a female character (Tomb Raider for example) was fun.

I actually prefer female MC's over male, mostly because they are more varied, cuter then their usual buffed up or emo'd out counterparts.

I like seeing the way they look in combat. More versatile in my opinion too.

If youre gonna make a female be the main character, you have to make her smart and maybe badass. In otherwords, you dont play as retarded guys in games, so you wouldnt want to play with retarded girls either.

Or maybe make the gender a mystery so everyone rages over which one it is XD

I don't know… I didn't like Final Fantasy X-2 very much. Or at all…
