You don't have your own ?,

Maybe the views better than looking at a guys ass. To annoy your daughter\wife when she finds out you made your char a lesbian ;)..

Few examples Dragon Age, Divinity. Because you played arthur out of RD2 and wanted a change of scene on multiplayer after 500 hours.

When a game doesn't offers the choice, i keep the character that's available and totally forgot about his "sex side" (man or woman, MGS/Alien) when there is like in R.Evil, Chris and Jill, i will prefer play the Jill scenario, i have more fun controlling a woman than a guy, i can't say why, it's instinctive, and also i feel like that being the woman that"saves the world, wins the fight..." is fun, again.

They're prettier in most cases. If I need to spend hundreds of hours looking at the back of a certain character, it better be a nice looking female character. They also occupy a smaller portion of the screen. All this regarding the 3rd person games, isometric, etc. As for FPS games, whatever, I don't care.

Yes, men have big shoulders we can't see through, taking more screen's space.

Game story made on male/female main char. could change a lot feeling,, imagine R.Evil 7 (e.g) switching to a woman !.. perhaps plot won't always match.

Well, if the game makes you select male or female I chose what is canon, like in KoTOR1 Raven is male so I chose male, in KoTOR2 Meetra Surik is female so I chose female. Still, I do select female in KoTOR1 a few times because reasons.

In ambiguous setting like V in Cyberpunk I chose male, it just fitting to become a male at least to me, you didn't see his ass anyway as he is in first person view 99% of the time. In 5-6 playthrough I never once select female I don't know why even though it can make you romance Judy.

I know in older games, if there was an option to have a female character they usually had advantages the males characters didn't, making them an easier one to use.
A good example was Super Mario II with the Princess Peach having the ability to "Float" for a sec (Holding the jump button) vs just dropping down like other characters would.

There are other examples of it but that was the trend back then and I suspect that has more or less gone away these days.

I do not like looking at dudes. I like looking at girls. That is reason enough, is it not
I'm the same way if there is a choice to..... And if the female character for some reason is too weak or difficult to use then I'll do what I gotta do to win.

In Mario Bros. 2 all characters except Mario had their own perks, like, Luigi jumped super high but moved slower, Peach could fly a little and Toad was fast and strong, but couldn't jump very well. It's great when characters have traits, but I also like when you are given the choice - or even if they're identical, really.

Oddly enough, I generally choose a guy. I guess it is for the immersion. I try to "be the character", get in the mindset. Doesn't feel entirely right with a female character.

I do pick/create a buff person though, which is definitely not, ah, true to ones self.

Really not a massive deal though, for example I had no issue playing Lara in the Tomb Raider games.

If the main char. is a woman the voice let's you immerse less ?

In the first re remake on GameCube, they introduced jiggle physix for the boobies.

So I played Jill. PS1 I played Chris.

Same here.

When you can choose your character in an open-world sandbox game, like a Bethesda RPG, I choose one that looks like me for immersion.

When you can't choose your character, like in Tomb Raider, then the game is about that character's story, not mine, so it's fine.

In the first re remake on GameCube, they introduced jiggle physix for the boobies.

So I played Jill. PS1 I played Chris.
There was a fighting Game that did this perfectly. I think it was called Dead or Alive. It was one of the deepest fighting Games but you always looked forward to fighting a female. That of course is if the Game gives it to you. In all the times of playing HZD. I have never thought of the main character in that way and indeed if I have the chance to play a Sister of Battle in 40K or use the Sisters Of Twilight or The Everqueen in TWWH3 I do not see it. That was like when you got the Queen of the Wood Elves in your army and she alone could destroy half of an enemy Army. Having said that some of the Dark Elf females are very attractive.

DOA is a great series. DOA 4 was awesome and was when they really got serious with the boob physics.

The first game i recall them being jiggly in was KoF and Fatal Fury. i love me some neo-geo.
