Do You Have Issues Playing Female Characters?

[ChristmasFnatic]

I know people who said they dont like playing female characters because they cant relate. While some refuse because they dislike any women except for sex and making sandwiches.

Meanwhile, many esp in MMORPGs play as women.

Bout you guys? Do you have issues playing as women characters or you don't mind?

[freeburn]

Not really just depends on the setting or game

I played as male v in cyberpunk and apparently I'm the weird one, everyone picks female v

[Dontknomyass2]

Male always unless I have to be a female

[Coal Man]

If given a choice I choose male. If not given a choice, it depends on how woke the game is and how much it beats you over the head with the girl boss who can do no wrong chit.

Horizon Zero Dawn - Surprising how normal that game was and I had no issue with the characters. Great game, got me hooked.

Horizon Forbidden West - still playable to me but I started seeing the cracks and the forcing of modern diversity... To the point that characters in a remote tribe were talking like modern LA zoomers. The Burning Shores turned it up even more and pretty much at my limit.

If it gets any worse than that I just don't have it in me lol.

No, it just depends on the game. If I'm trying to be super immersed, I'll usually go male for the first playthrough. Every character after that, just depends.

For a game I'm less serious about like Palworld, I'll make a female character first.

For fighting games, I've been playing Chun Li since SF2, so I definitely don't care there. Same for games with a singular female protagonist like Metroid or Tomb Raider.

I went with male v in both playthroughs because it just felt right. First time I even heard female V was when my wife decided to try it.

[gbullock32]

I don't really care, so long as it's a good game.

[obmas]

Nope.

In games like Monster Hunter, where you pick your character, I sometimee try to make the hottest female chick I can.

And then in Starfield, I made the ugliest female character I could, modelled after Ms. Swan for the lulz. But the dumb game doesn't allow Asian eyes for some reason.

Did she look like a man?

[TokenV]

nah

in single player games where you can choose I take male always

when there's no choice it doesn't bother me at all, like Tomb Raider or Bayonetta f.e.

in fighting games like Tekken I enjoy the female characters equally so I'm not gonna avoid them or some chit lol

[PumkinPie]

If I can see my character and there is no romance options in the game, Ill pick a chick

Otherwise guy


Edit: words

[BearyManilowe]

If I can see my character and there is no romance in the game (e.g. mass effect) Ill pick a chick

Otherwise guy

No romance
Mass Effect

Pick one.


On topic, I always pick a male in RPGs. I find it hard to finish games with female leads.

[LtGoose]

Female characters have smaller hit boxes so fukin lolz @ picking a male character.

[JayJ350]

Nah not really, but I do usually prefer playing as male characters. I just hate it when they do the forced gender swap or strong woman inserts.

[rocketfish]

90% of the time i play female characters

[phillipsanchez]

Not if it's plausible and not forced. If I'm prancing about in a WW2 game as a female amputee, I'm not really keen on it.

Hades 2 is second my list of 2024 games. Supergiant are obviously not your average dev though.

Hellblade 2 looking incredible too.

[DesiredUserphag]

Always play female because I love looking at their pixelated tits and asses

[WoofieNugget]

I always used to laugh in WOW when I'd start a female character and instantly get handed gear and asked if I needed help with anything. Simps are even worse in virtual environments.

[Deathstroke]

Tomb raider
Tlou
Uncharted
Bayonetta
Final fantasy
Let me state I gave Ellie and Abby a chance they both suck

not really, in fact i love & enjoy playing in that character more.

[davik]

i noticed this with mass effect, where all dudes playing as female shepard. i think its deep psychological issues where they hate being a man in real life but arent quite ready to become a tranny.

[BigDeeps01]

I’ll always choose male if given the opportunity because I’m not a tranny but if it’s a fixed character then it’s fine. I treat it like its just over the shoulder I’m just following their story

this is what started me playing female characters, mmo's got me free stuff and power leveling from incel simps

then it just grew on me for other games even shooters.

[Strawng]

Niobe from Enter the Matrix back in the day and Tomb Raider are the only games I can think of where I played as a female. It really didn't even cross my mind. Ig in things like fighting games, I think I sometimes chose the female just out of shear novelty as a kid.

I wouldn't do a "character creation" female tho cuz I'm not a tranny lmfao

[SirFapsAIot]

if it's tomb raider, or something like that no, resident evil, no, just depends on the game, but these IPs were out a long time ago and none of the fascist bull sh!t was in games back then, so more modern games, I have an issue with because it's agenda pushing, won't even buy the games

[ScramFranklin]

Metroid is one of my favorite franchises, so no.
