Sampson Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I usually pick a female character despite being a male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondD Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 9000 posts lol Relax, no need to be antagonistic. Welcome to the site. As for me, I always end up playing male characters and try to make them look like me (with the exception of Mass Effect since the default Commander Shepard was the face of the series) because I like to think of them as an extension of me. All of the choices and options I make are supposed to be a virtual representation of me. I become a lot more immersed and invested that way. That's not to say I don't enjoy playing games where the female is the default lead (Tomb Raider, Mirror's Edge and Beyond Good and Evil immediately come to mind).

bhinnrichs Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The only time I could think was in Saints Row 2 + 3. Saints Row 3 was fun to run around as a girl with a dildo beating everyone up. It just looks weird with a guy lol. Other than that I tend to keep to my gender. I totally agree with this. I never make a female character but I did in Saints Row 3. And good times were had by all.

Mr Twich37 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Normally just stick with having a Male character. However in Halo 3 it seemed that if you were a female character you had a little bit more health.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Eagle Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't, it's kinda weird in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envint251 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Given the chance, I will ALWAYS pick a female character. Partly because of some of the reasons that others have stated, such as it's simply more pleasant to stare at the back of a female than a male for the duration of the game and, on a slightly less superficial note, I just really like the idea of strong female characters.

Kiksy Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I always create female characters, I make them look like me most of the time. But if I want to play the game more than once I might try making a male character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direkin Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If it's in 3rd person I'd quite often go for female; if I have to stare at a character for the entire game, I'd want to see some nice bouncing boobies and a rockin' ass . In first person I couldn't care less. In some RPG I'd end up playing both, just to see the differences in dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24Ghost Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've done both, but when given the choice I tend to start with a male character. On the second playthrough is when I would try out a female character. Fun to see the little differences in the story details when playing the opposite sex.

Deadsea 1993 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I made a girl chaacter in Fallout 3 before,didnt like it. I always make charatcers that are male,as I can associate more with that person as Im male aswel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmarmySmurf Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 As far back as fighters on Genesis, or Jill and Claire in Resident Evil/2, I've always preferred female characters. If I have to choose (for some reason) between a great male only led game, or a merely decent female led game, I'll choose the latter in most cases. I can't think of any male led game I wouldn't like more if I could play as a female. It effects my enjoyment as much as any other single feature I can think of. If I ran the industry, it would be a requirement to either have a default male/female choice or a character creator. Would be right up there with forbidding multiplayer achievements.

Slaughter. Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I make it look like me, and I'm a man, so I don't make girls in gaming. I want to I just always forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xYuki Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 just wondering how many guys create female player characters in Skyrim mass effect fallout etc I sometimes like the default female In mass3 rather than the male version sorry for my bad spelling I never play as a Male character. Ever. Unless I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun-Nut Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I tend to always go for a female character since I find they have better options when it comes to customizing... Maybe its just the fact I can make a female I would be attracted to where as a guy I could not care less and I have no reason to make it look like me!

LickableLemons7 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Never. Mass Effect, Fallout 3, etc. I'm a guy, I want to play as a guy. I feel more connected to the world. Not against playing as a female character, it's more like I just don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Never. Mass Effect, Fallout 3, etc. I'm a guy, I want to play as a guy. I feel more connected to the world. Not against playing as a female character, it's more like I just don't want to. Couldn't have said it better myself. I just think of the games I grew up playing, where there was no choice. Could you imagine a female Mario or Link? (Well, that Link/Zelda thing would have been pretty fucking progressive if Link was female.) I'm a dude, I play as dudes, and in games like Mass Effect where you can try to get with the opposite sex, I'd feel a bit weird being a female hitting on a dude and being like "YEAH! I totally got Garrus to sleep with me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekokari Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 depends on the game... if the game requires multi-playthroughs definitely one of them will be the female.also if there is some slightly different scenes depending on gender, it can be quite entertaining. if not, depends on the game, the graphics, and my mood.
