      @@gonsiPL Oh shit! It sounds like you're around 10 years younger than me! I remember those and got the good fortune due to previous habits to be able to wear them while my best friend who always plays an obnoxious strength build male was pissed that he couldn't use them! There were a few other games that had female-only gear that was superb and I've always appreciated it.
      I think the only time I've played a male instead of a female in the last 15 years was Conan. But that's just because I wanted to run around with my dingaling blowing in the wind or hanging low as I climbed. That shit was gold.

    I will answer this question the best way i can. Female characters are just better. In the majority of games, they have better model, better animations, and better cosmetics, and they look nice.
    Male characters often look clunckie and have gear that looks like it was built by a dwarf that listens to metalica.
    Then you have marketing that is geared to both males and females buying. The players who play female characters are their target bc they tend to be the ones buying these aesthetic dlc

    A big difference is dialigue, generally the female voice has more emotion to it and typically that makes the acting feel better, while male characters are portrayed as reserved and "badass" which comes off as flat and boring. But i'll usually play a girl regardless because i want to look cute.

    The other is appealing. Think about it.
    Why does Asia and Africa have an "exotic" appeal to Europe?
    The same reason why imagining being a woman would be appealing to a man. It is an outside experience. It is the other. Somewhere outside of our little bubble are other worlds where people think, feel and act differently to the way we do. Women are different to men. That is their appeal.
    There is also the "cool girl" effect. This is the conventionally attractive woman who is capable of excelling in areas that are associated as manly. Fighting and taking down bad guys whilst also being an attractive female has it's own appeal.

    I usually play as a female character because I enjoy having the choice. Most games I play feature default protagonists, whether male or female. So, when a game lets me choose, I almost always pick a female character.

    girl look good. so i pick girl. in souls like ( because u have armor that makes character unrecognizable anyway) or first person games i pick man. quite easy
    and another point, this one coming from dead by daylight in my case:
    apart from better fashion, grils are smaller and since all character run the same speed their running animation is way more satisfying. it looks waiy faster and swifty compared to the male character clunky jog)

    I play male in 90% of single player rpgs or fps games..i play female only if she is smoking hot to see example EVE from stellar blade or 2B from nier automata. I do prefere females in coop games like The first Descendant for the aesthetics as before. Since i mostly play single player games 9 out of 10 times its a male so i dont think male gamers tend to play as female it depends on the genre mostly

  • @pennypeach7616

    I rather watch a woman's behind than a man's behind + customization for dudes is just so limited. Especially if your not a white guy, as an asian guy, we got 1 or 2 face options. Even in BG3, a game with pretty decent customization, we got like what? 2 faces??? and i don't feel represented.

If I see myself as a third party seeing a story unfold before my eyes, I'll play as or create a fine ass female. It's that simple lol. Also, if the only option is to play as a fine woman, I'm gonna play as one. No problems here haha.

    I am a “collector”, both in the game and in real life. So I always try to find all the clothes in the game and some don't look good on a guy. I mean, there's a dress in Bloodborne, for example. I don't wear that on any guy. So that item would already be “unnecessary” for me. But I want to have it and maybe use it, so I play a female character :D
    But that only applies to third-person games. Otherwise, I just think badass women are much cooler than guys xD
    I mean Kratos is all well and good, but EVE is much cooler xD

    It depends on the game. If it's like GTA I prefer male char. But if it's dark fantasy or RPG stuff, usually female characters have nice drips. And nah, I get laid and have girl friends so I don't need to always stare at something in the screen.

    Next level badassitude, little girl kicking some huge bosses ass. Don't go throwing the l0li word around too quick though, if a woman makes it work cuz of gender roles, then what does both a child and female do? That's doubling up, short, cute AND hasn't had enough time in her life to get swole, but the Elin back in Tera and the Lyn in Blade and Soul dragging some walking cliff-face of a monster onto his face sticks with you, and is almost certainly why those choices stomped player race percentages (despite Enmasse/Frogster's meddling censorship).

  • @TheCaptainPaxo
    @TheCaptainPaxo 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think maybe another factor could be to do with how "cool badass action stuff" used to be exclusively for the macho masculine of the 80s. Think Silverster Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger etc.
    Through the 90s and into the 2000s we started to get more female characters doing the cool badasss action stuff. Sarah Conor from T2, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet, Elizabeth Swan from Pirates of the Caribbean etc. So it might also be a cultural catchup thing.
    Or I might just be talking out of my ass

    As someone who plays EXCLUSIVELY as females in RPGs and TTRPGs:
    1. Cause females are awesome (I am man after all, I love women :D )
    2. Cause badass female is more cool imo than badass man since the second one is kind of... like exploited/used since the beginning of humans writing stories (Hercules, Knights etc.) that it's just boring for me as concept. I for example love Black Lagoon anime becasue it has fiesta of absolute badass gorgeous female killers. Love it. Female Commader Shepard is probably my fav video game character of all time, with Bayonetta, 2B, Lara, Rayne, Jill Valentine, Trish, Ada Wong.
    3. Cause if I am to stare in TPP for tens/hundreds of hours on my character (especially it's back) - I prefer to stare at female
    4. I feel like personally female character is more interesting to roleplay as females have unique leverage (looks/sexiness etc.) in dialogues/roleplaying scenes
    5. I love Femme fatale archetype. Males don't feat that for me (seems geh.. :D ) at all
    6. If you roleplay female you can romance other females! So I get yuri on top, so double win
    7. BIG REASON: absolutely way more massive mods customization support vs males: heads, hair styles, makeup, body models, clothes, underwear, boots, heels, armors, physics (ye boy!). Like it's not even close. I am modding my games SUPER HARD and let me tell you: for every single mod aimed for male character you have at least 20-30 mods for female characters.
    8. Arts of females on internet if someones play TTRPGs are also way more common, numerous and cooler than male ones. Sex sells, no need to hide it
    These are my reasons! :D

    I always find it kind of funny when these things pop up in my recommended. Might be that this is a thing in other circles, nothing wrong with it. But neither I nor anyone I know do this, at least not predominantly. Sure, you'll see them create female character here or there, but its less than male characters.

    The numbers is that 30% of males is, this enslavement to sexual things in games and life, is more a puberty and sexual addiction thing.
    As someone past 50 it's rather hard to enjoy grandkid avatars. The only game I've bought with female only avatar is "Heorine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok" (Free game, in the style of Sierra games like Quest For Glory/Kings Quest). Though something like that Horizon game isn't too bad since the avatar is at least clothed.
