Females in Video Games.
I wanted to get your opinions on the subject. How do you feel about playing a female in a game? Does it turn you off from the game? Do you feel that feel that female protagonists need to be more prevalent?
So give your 10 cents on the topic.

Edited by Xplode441: 3/26/2013 2:58:52 AMI never understood why women not being a major character is a problem for feminists groups. I don't care if I'm playing Call of Duty and my character is a female and I'm a male because I'm not involved in the story, I'm involved in the gameplay which is something that games like Call of Duty are supposed to do. I don't see the point of a game like Call of Duty to be for the player to connect to the main character and project themselves as the main character. Really it's just sit back, enjoy the cutscenes and then get back to shooting people. More of an interactive movie than an immersive gaming experience. Games like Mass Effect which you're supposed to be really involved in your character and you're supposed to project yourself as the character generally do have male and female main character choices. I think that complaining that you can't connect to the main character just because they're of the different sex would be just as silly as saying that you can't connect to the main character just because they're a robot.
