There are some games I would not enjoy the game if the main protagonist was not female. Such as Syberia series and The Longest Journey.
There are some exceptions, such as choosing Chun Li in Street Fighter...
I don't mind female characters in games where there is no story, no immersion.
It's why I've always disliked games like Tomb Raider, Alien Isolation, Horizon Zero Dawn... Also why I don't really enjoy Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel because the only Sniper is an annoying posh sounding female(imo).
Oh wow hehehe. That surprises me to hear you say that. I thought you were an SJW and super woke Komodo. I thought that you would relish in female empowerment To hear such statement is not very PC at all
This next Installment of GTA VI is likely to be less edgier than its predecessors. It is also the first to Include a female protagonist. I will remain cautiously optimistic but the graphics are really nice though. But I will say this: Rockstar rolled out an update some years back and it removed a line from a random pedestrian ''You look tranny''.
For me, it doesn't matter who the protagonist is, as longest it tells a good story without being preachy I'm good.
I've not said anything controversial though.
It's normal and common enough for a person to relate to their own sex/gender when it comes to storytelling and roleplaying.
It's actually weird AF to me that there are so many weirdo guys who obsess over female characters in a perverted way. Especially playing with or making mods for skimpy clothing, it's psychotic & disgusting in my opinion.
It's the same with TV/Film actually, they sexualize everything, they objectify everything and everybody has got to be hot... Look at the pathetic Fallout TV series they are making, have you seen the teaser pics? Even the male GHOUL looks as hot as possible FFS! A f**king ghoul!!!
It's frustrating af because the quality of character development and storytelling is deteriorating since the 80s/90s... Especially with the cash cows and money grabs to just rehash series and films that have been done to death already! Yes, I know, EVERYTHING IS A REMIX! Though they take it to a very unsatisfying level these days...
They don't make amazing female leads like Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor or even The Bride from Kill Bill anymore, they all suck, even male leads are getting ridiculous... Timothee Chalamet as Willy Wonka???
F off with a capital F!!! They are too "lazy" and "cool" to even name it properly... It's just "Wonka" now... They ARE a bunch of Willys...
Though, key point I made, is not taking away from female empowerment, but giving us the CHOICE... Of course that would cost more money to make though...
You never know, maybe, just MAYBE, you can completely ignore the female character and play through as the guy.

Anyway, sorry, derailing this nice thread with my aggressive anger at the shocking state of todays storytelling...
SO Rocket League, CS:GO, yeah!
