Average Witcher fan.

Ah, yes. If she looks like a sex doll, she's saving the industry. If she looks like a normal person, the game is unplayable.

Imagine if women did this. "I'm not a middle aged father, I won't be playing The Last of Us. It just breaks my immersion, should have made Tess the main character. Also, you can see by the design of his nose bridge that they're making him less attractive on purpose. How can I play this game if he isn't a double cheeked up Adonis!?"

Grow an imagination.

You have to be wildly insecure to even care about such things.

I’m a guy. I don’t mind playing as a woman at all. I’ve played the Tomb Raider games, I enjoyed Horizon, I played a female V in Cyberpunk, FemShep in Mass Effect etc etc.

Games are a way to experience something that’s not you or your story. And that’s perfectly fine.

Heck, if we took that stuff seriously, I shouldn’t play Mario because I’m not an Italian plumber. Or I couldn’t enjoy Euro Truck Simulator since I don’t drive a truck.

And it's not the competent, powerful and attractive part that breaks your immersion?

Or he is just pissed that he won't be having women in game to romance.

"I'm not a marble so I can't enjoy Marble Madness."

Real talk:

Representation matters.

My lady friend doesn’t want to play anything that makes her play as a dude if she can avoid it. She does sometimes but she has a strong preference for games featuring female protagonists. She did enjoy playing as Geralt though

If you're "immersion" can be broken by playing as someone who's not a carbon copy of yourself, you may be lacking some brain matter.

This guy wants to look at a man's ass for 40 hours straight.

Me too, thanks.

This is exactly why I can't play any of the metroid games. Also can't play Kirby because I'm not an androgenous pink blob.

TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY MOTHERFUCKER!

As a cis-femme gamer I am SO SICK of playing as grizzled, middle-aged cis-men in every goddamn game with a set story.

Games where you can pick the gender of the protagonist don't count. Whether you play as Man-Shep or Fem-Shep, Mass Effect is exactly the same and the gender choice is exclusively cosmetic. There are very few games with female protagonists that actually commit to the protagonist being a woman and delving into what that entails.

Just in this first trailer, Ciri is trying to save a young woman from being used as a maiden sacrifice and that is a much more emotionally complex situation for her as a young woman herself. I will be pre-ordering Witcher 4 the second it is available because I want more studios to make games with women as the main playable characters so that I can have immersion in my games too.

I'm not interested in playing as a Witcher. I am a regular human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for witchers and one for regular humans.

I'm not interested in playing as an Astro Bot. I am a human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for robot and one for human.

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 vampyre and one for human.

Seriously though, this pathetic misogynist is a joyless snowflake.

I am not interested in playing as a male. As a male, I already go through life as one. I don't have the urge to experience that further. Breaks immersion.

If I play RPGs and have the choice of a character, I always pick male and customise him to look like me. Despite never seeing my character when I play in first person mode. It just seens natural to me.

But when I don't get the choice (mainly narrative driven games like adventures), I simply roll with it. It's a game after all, not a second life.

I don't mind playing a male but always prefer female. Started with Unreal 99 and smaller female hitboxes then continued in mass effect (if I can choose to watch a spandex gluteus Maximus for 30 Hours, I chose female).... and now it's a habit of playing female and chaotic neutral for first playthroughs.

Men. ☕

It's gay to play male characters bc you're staring at a dude all day. True hetero males play female characters because it is most hetero to look at attractive women.

Gay detected.

Wants to look at the butts of men in 3rd person view.

I prefer looking at the butts of women.
