lol, that's seriously the reason you wouldn't choose to play the game?

Looks boring, but then again, I don´t like sneaking games. Also, they should have had voices.

There are a lot of people who don't like playing games as the opposite sex.

And yes, it goes both ways, it sucks for women who want to play as women in some games but can't.
We all have our thing, I am sure there are some games you won't play that have reasons I would not agree with as well 😀

Seriously? I suppose you make avatars that look like you for every game you play? Talk about sucking the fun out of an escape from reality.

My understanding is you can play as any of the five characters in this game, but you have to unlock them first.

Hyperbole and your opinion.

No!   character creators are for making characters that you want to stare at the rear-end of for a 30-hour game

You literally said, “Another forced gender game hard pass.”
 

So don’t talk to me about “hyperbole.”

And you literally accused me of making characters that look EXACTLY like me using an Office video reference.

 

[donjn]

I don't know about anyone else but I don't stare at my character's ass in third person. That is such an old argument for the people who want to play a female.

What difference does a character’s gender make? Do you avoid Ms. Pac-Man and Lara Croft Tomb Raider, too?

Why does this matter so much to you, why can't you leave me alone, you are getting weird with this.

Because it was such a weird thing to say. And now you’re digging in. Whatever buddy.

"Whatever" the proverbial "white flag" of a losing argument. LOL

It is not weird when a lot of people don't like gender-locked games..

I'll just say there is a huge double-standard around this topic in present day.    On one hand you have the recent Dove commercial featuring a morbidly obese girl who is tired of playing as skinny characters and finally gets to play a morbidly obese character with smug grin that looks just like her.   Dove (a soap company) is going to commit resources to ensure that happens.

 

But if you are a guy and express this exact same preference, you are the worst person ever!

 

Personally, I don't think people should need to justify their reasons for liking or not liking a game,  including not liking the main protagonist.   People like what they like,

Agree 100%, and what @Flojomojo didn't get, is that when you posted:

"No!   character creators are for making characters that you want to stare at the rear-end of for a 30-hour game"

 

You were poking fun at people who say they play a female because of that reason, a pre-defense for myself, in case that came up lol.

Umm...its a DOT.

And nowhere in the manual does it say you are female, and the ACTUAL manual and box cover shows what looks like male eyes.
Also I do play and enjoy MS Pac Man.

 

In before people call me sexist.

FYI, I have played female characters before, and sometimes my wife walks in and says why are you playing a female character lol.

I knew about earlier version of box art. I didn’t there more Haunted House artwork that didn’t get used.

I wasn't really poking fun,  I create characters with cool looks in games with character creators, and sometimes they are female.    I don't create them to look like me,  I would look terribly out of place in the Dark Souls universe    Well maybe in the Sims..

 

But I don't want to play a game that forces me to play as protagonist that annoys me in some way, whether it be a male character or female character.  So if I reject a game with a crappy protagonist, I don't need anyone telling me I'm wrong for doing so.

 

I swear the current path is going to lead to games being made with characters that are vaguely humanoid-shaped blue blobs- that represent everbody and nobody, because the developers will realize they can never please everyone!

Such a shame that a thread about one of the bigger Atari games of the last few years immediately devolved into a discussion on gender locked characters. Seriously, who cares? IT'S A GAME.
