I remember with Assassins Creed Odyssey the company was mad that most players chose the male. Didn’t surprise me since that is a game that would probably appeal to more guys. I guess the devs didn’t understand that
Nah you convinced me. I have upvoted you for what it’s worth. We can’t be distracted. And boy did I get distracted. The first game with a female protagonist I played was Kings Quest 4. Me being a kid I typed in dirty stuff but eventually played it seriously and beat it.
That’s just what I’ve heard. Yes I have heard that rationale and I understand it. That’s part of the charm of GTA is it’s edginess but I can see why ppl would roll their eyes at this announcement. But a female protagonist wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t coincide with caving to the usual crowd.
As far as I know about 20-25% of PCs were female in WoW, this was way back, AC Valhalla and ME Legendary statistics do imply something around 20% of guys play as male. About 1 in 5 guys maybe 1 in 4 guys like to play a female character although there is a huge overlap with people playing both male and female characters in the same game on different runs so hard to tell exact numbers but male characters are more popular then female characters.
Personally in WoW I had both male and female chars but in single player I play male characters when ever possible.
lol, yeah they were outraged that a game series about people climbing into a machine and reading the DNA of their ancestors had the temerity to suggest the ancestors may have had children (which...you know, is how you pass on DNA) because what about Muh LGBT or whatever...
Same people I trolled by pointing out the arks in mass effect andromeda should only allow straight people if the goal is to colonise another galaxy.
Yea I remember being very confused about that controversy. In regards to space colonies that makes the most sense. What did they respond when you pointed that out?
Also, there’s an (actual) immersion breaking, logic fail that goes off in my head any time game devs expect me to believe Spartan mercenaries and hardened war-lusting Vikings could get their asses handed to them by 90lbs teenage girls.
I want to play as a Spartan/Viking/Spaceman/Cowboy, not as the avatar of some deranged lefty dev’s digitised wet dreams.

I'm kinda surprised by that since most guys who play WoW play as female.
Chris Gore said the same thing. I can understand that.
Careful, you'll get mass downvoted in these GTA threads!

Nicer ?
The guys do it because the argument is staring at female ass in the 3rd person is more fun than staring at male ass.
Like I said, the real story is how Rockstar wants to tone down the humour and remove "punching down". A female protagonist is a non-issue.

The saddest part is that is going away. Soon they'll be Body Type A or Body Type B.
Yea I enjoyed the game. I just remember that and then the dlc angered some people because the female protagonist got pregnant or something

Absolutely the better story!

Same with Valhalla
