I usually play as a female character in 3rd person games because I prefer to look at a woman's butt rather than a man's. Seems like the opposite of gay to me, but apparently not.
Yeah it's all Lara Croft's fault, all those gamers are gay now because of her
Yeah I don't get people's need to associate the game character with oneself as roleplay. The game character is the game character and I'm just watching like I would in a film.
I don't understand the people who get weird about the player characters in video games. Both the "Why do I have to play as a girl?" crowd and "Why can't I play as a girl" crowd. I played as Gordon Freeman and Chell and I turned out...not in prison.
But not very talkative
Yeah, for me itβs partly aesthetic preference but also Iβm not inserting myself into the game. Iβm controlling the character, not pretending I am the character.
