I thought Snake was gay.

Either that or he had no penis.

Either way. Wouldn't effect me either way i'd think.

Here is how it can easily be done:

You make a game, with a badass male character. You make him the most badass guy in the universe. He's buff, he's smart, he's fast, he's got mad skills. Even throw in some girls who are all over him. But have him constantly refer to his "lover" instead of his "girlfriend" or "princess." That way everybody can identify with his quest, because we'll all assume the gender of the lover is the gender we're attracted to. Then at the end of the game, once you've beaten the final boss, BLAM, you just saved a dude. It worked for Samus. Everybody thought they were a badass male bounty hunter saving the galaxy and then BLAM, you're in a bikini for no reason. And by that point, you were so attached to the character, that Nintendo got away with it, and Samus has become one of the most beloved female protagonists in gaming. I think the same could be done for a gay protagonist.

 

EDIT: Now I read the thread, and crap, axumblade beat me to it.

Only problem with that is the internet.

In 1980 that was an awesome surpise.

in 2010 everyone would know before the game released.

It will never work to trick people like that

Samus got away with it b/c the majority of the crowd was horny straight males, they saw chic in bikini and would let it slid

If it were a gay dude…epic firestorm and the game would have sales dry up among the crowd you were targeting (however the gay gamer community would grab the game with open arms)

But the group your trying to trick into it would rebel on a massive scale

Plus with the available amount of info in the net these days something that epic would never stay secret

There are people who to this day see Brawl and go "Whoa, Samus was a chick all along?"

Nobody's done it before, so there's a vacuum to fill.  The first company to fill that vacuum with a game that isn't really stupid will get a whole bunch of money.  And the controversy would help sales like it was a Hot Coffee mod.

I'd play any game with a gay protagonist.  I want more diversity in my protagonists.  I want to play as more old people, women, gays, babies, and inanimate objects.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!!! It'll have to be an independant dev(keep the bloodsucking suits away!) and a brave publisher prepared to cop the wrath of the outraged media and forum meltdowns.   

 



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

Batman...WTF? on 28 April 2009

Well, I'd find it awkward, only because I imagine myself as the main character when I play. But I'd get over it. I fine with gay/lesbian/transgender/bisexuals.

yes, but what does that have to do with being gay? I thought Jesus said that we shouldn't hate any group of people.
