I'd rather create my own character and the writers craft a story around that. I'm surprised the majority of fps games don't allow you to do that already given how the main character in them seems so bland, generic and untalkative.

Besides alot of times when I see female characters, they come off as trying too hard to be badasses, much like their male counterparts. The difference is, the female characters come off trying too hard while being 'sexy'. And then you have the whole slut debate which comes out of that, since as we all know, any woman who is sexy is in reality a slut /s. Although funnily enough, the type of female characters that don't fit into that other category are pretty much the same body type just different faces.

I have to wonder when video game designers will have main female characters adopt different body types, and not have all their black or non-white characters just be white characters with a tan and different eye sets. I guess its a marketing thing.

I'm male and find myself naturally picking to play as a male if I have a choice, but when I don't have that choice it doesn't bother me in the slightest to play a women.

Expectedly if they're have properly thought out personalities as in last years Tomb Raider game or Bayonetta 2.

I'm all for a range of positive representations of females and minority groups in video games though. We'd all benefit from a richer, less clichés portrayals of women, ethnic groups and lgbt people.



I'm all down for it, now we just need these game writers to actually do it.



IIRC you can play as a girl in COD Advanced Warfare.



How about Elizabeth in bioshock infinite: burial at sea 2. It was really amazing to play as her.

Metroid says hi

Metroid is a girl?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Samus is female, not sure if the metroids have 2 sexes, although I guess as there is a Metroid Queen they are like bees.



I want more games with people like Cate Archer.

Actually, scratch that, I want more games with Cate Archer, so I hope they finally found out who owns the rights to No One Lives Forever, so they can make 3rd part already.

Actually, we need less fps games.



I'm sorry but playing as a "super chick" kinda takes away the realism for me
