      You joke but when I was playing AC odyssey, I did switch to a girl after an hour because I was tired of looking up a dudes skirt whenever I went swimming.

    I’m not interested in playing as a vampire. I am a human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for vampyr and one for human.

    Seriously though, this pathetic misogynist is a joyless snowflake.

    I usually feel so immersed when playing white haired super-ripped giants with magic powers. It’s as if they were a second me, except for the hair, size, muscles, facial traits, strength and magic powers.

    Not interested in…

    Metroid.

    Perfect Dark.

    Mirror’s Edge.

    Parasite Eve.

    Portal.

    Half of Resident Evil.

    All of these pivotal, classic games have great female protagonists, and came out before Obama got elected… probably before this person was even born?

    Maybe somebody could try the ‘return to tradition’ approach with this fool.

      As a kid, who doesn’t get a little warped by Samus Aran being female? Maybe it was just my experience growing up in the christocultist world, but I was in denial about Samus at ~7-8 years old with my only familiarity being passive and Smash Bros.

      Now I see anyone that has a similar outlook as being ~7-8 years old in their cognitive development and KAFS

      A polarizing question. Me, I always play a version of myself. More muscular, perhaps, or more adventurous. But still a middle-aged dude who is trying to do good. I never feel the urge to play a woman or a villain or anything else totally different from my IRL character.

      And I guess that’s just how it is, right? We each make our own fun in the games we play.

      So the dude in the xitter post is just going to have to sit this one out. I’m sure there will be lots of male centric stories to play in the future, as there always have been.

      Meanwhile, I hope everyone who likes playing from a female POV has an absolute blast with The Witcher 4.

        I usually play a female. I’ve always considered my character as a companion, a waifu, if you will.

          You play as a female character and see her as your companion.

          I play female characters because I like to control women.

          We are not the same. /s

      Plus, you get to stare at a hot female ass for most of whatever you’re playing. Playing females is the straightest choice imho.

    I remember when this totally broke my immersion back in the 1990s…

    Didn’t they understand that I wanted to raid tombs as a MALE?!
