it depends, if the setting is done so that i can relate something to her then yeah

like i was able to enjoy some tomb raider action but then again your not really questing for anything other then treasure

but i cant think of a game with a lead character of a girl that i played and went after guy and enjoyed

name a couple and i will see

but to me if Dead Space was about questing after a Guy instead of a girl there would be a drastic drop in the emotional pull department b/c the connection just wouldn't be there

 

How do you think i feel though. I have to play every single game rescuing the girl. I don't want to rescue the girl but i have to to finish the game. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. There are some it does but that is because the game is that good to begin with.

 

I hate tacked on love stories, sometimes they would be better if they weren't there at all. I like a character i can identify with as well. I don't get that much. In Resident Evil 5 even though i don't think Chris is gay, damn he is hot, he is not given an overt sexual prefrence so i can still play as him and not feel like i'm playing straight.

 

If the whole point of a gay character is so that gay game players can identify with them then it'll never happen because every game would rather the larger group identify and therefore buy their game.  Now if you have a character that is gay, bi, straight, whatever, and it isn't done for people to relate to but because it makes sense for the story and helps to tell a good story, I like to think everyone can enjoy that.
