I doubt it, and you're seriously limiting yourself if you just play games with female protagonists.Quote:
Tempted to buy Payday 2, they say they are going to release a female PC but they have been saying that for like a year...
Which reminds me, i GTAV ever does that with DLC or something please let me know.
Yeah but I'm so over being forced to play as men. There are some exceptions I'm willing to make (Batman, Hitman and Thief if they ever get the old VA back).
You're hardly forced. Does someone have you at gunpoint demanding you to play it?
Of course I'm forced. If 90% of AAA games don't let me play as a female my choices are be forced to play as a male or not play them at all.
You must not play many games...
Not as many as I used to. Not going to support an industry that treats 47% of it's demographic like we are worthless.
Ah, the cheerful sound of male privilege at its finest... :rolleyes:Quote:

My favourite thing related to stuff like this in gaming that I discovered recently was the ratio of male to female police officers in 'LA Noire'. Almost the entire department is male, with the justification of 'REALISM! THERE WAS MORE SEXISM IN THE PAST!', until someone pointed out that the LA police force of the time was 37% female, what with WW2 making many otherwise eligible men into corpses, and thus unavailable for hire.
Because a lot of the time, reality is unrealistic... :)
Which is why Magic the Gathering is ace, it has males, females, things with no gender. It's just aimed at everyone.Quote:

*ignores YorkNecromancer trying to judge me*
Yup, that is another problem with realism, it usually isn't and the people talking about usually can't tell. People will accept costumes and equipment that are pure Hollywood pop culture historical gear without even blinking or all manner of concessions to the medium (that whole game balance thing) and yet you try and make it more inclusive and it erupts into nerdrage.Quote:
