Rikku can do anything she wants to me....

Hubbada!

If the game is third-person, I'd rather look at some nice girl than ugly generic marine butt...

What do i think of Female protagonist? they usualy have huge boobs, thats what i think of them, normaly i don't like being chicks in video games, Left 4 Dead 2 is an exception just because i like being Rochelle so i can say sexual racist feminine things on mic as her to the other players D:

Other than that i prefer my protagonist male, someone similiar to Ezio ^__^, Marcus Feenix or Altair (when he was an asshole, because after that he became gay).

I tought you were kidding, but no?! Wut? You sound so sexist lol, just like the gamefaqs guys. IMO If Samus (without armor) was real, she could easily beat the shit out of any guys who looks like Cloud. Seriously, wow.

To the guy that said Lara Croft doesn't do anything amazing or unrealistic, on the contrary Lara Croft is one of the most badass Female protagonist there is for the same reason as Batman, she does it without a lazer and an awesome suit, she does it with Two guns, booty shorts, and her skill.

Lara Croft took down a T-rex with two hand guns and you're telling me she does nothing unrealistic or astonishing? Nathan Drake is an amateur Tomb Raider compared to Lara he has yet to pull off some of her feats. Her feats puts his to shame.

We are in the 21 century , but yet they are pure sexist guy like you.

And unrealistic ? Do you see the size of the buster sword ? Do you really think that a little punk like cloud can lift a sword like this ?

I will go out of my way to buy any game that has a female character.  The only reason I didn't buy X-Blades is because it had a shitty demo.  And I STILL may end up buying it if the price dips just a little bit more.  Some examples of games I knew were shit but I bought/enjoyed simply because of the female lead character:

Rogue Ops

Danger Girl

Red Ninja

Golden Axe Beast Rider

Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers

Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad

Kameo (which turned out to be pretty awesome)

Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2

Outlaw Volleyball

Beach Spikers (which turned out to be awesome)

Tomb Raider (every single one that ever existed)

Rumble Roses XX

BMX XXX

Splinter Cell Conviction (solely for the downloadable female spy)

Mark of the Kri

Stolen

Tehra (PSP Mini and blight on the face of humanity)

IllBleed

Super Princess Peach

--And given the option to create a female in any game from Tony Hawk to Fable 2 to WWE to Mass Effect to Dragon Age, I'm going to instantly create the sluttiest looking woman I can possibly make and send her on her way!

I'm not kidding when I say this:  I go to the video games store and specifically look for games with a female lead character.  If I can't find one, then I look for games that allow me to make a female character.  Then, I look for the AAA games that I don't own.  I will literally buy a mediocre game with a female lead before I buy a AAA game with a male lead.  Gears of War 3 features a good game AND hot women.  My head will explode!

@ Pokeclaudel Ahh i found the video, mind telling me where you saw Nathan Drake pulling this feat off? In some cases dudes win but in many cases chicks win, and this is one of em, Lara eats Nathan for breakfast, if you actualy compare their movements Nathan Drake has a clumsy way of making jumps and what not and he often times just barely escapes falling or death, Lara definately has more grace and is much more acrobatic.

I don't mind them except lightning because she somewhat pisses me off, don't ask why because i don't have an answer.
