Well no, its just they made a reasoned argument with believable points, you just said it wouldn't take much work, who am I going to beleive?binvjoh said:
Basically he/she said they would have to completely re work the animation for female characters, because male and female bodies are differant in certain areas
They might be right. I hadn't read their post until you alerted me of it.Macrobstar said:
Anyway, what I guess I actually mean/want is that they would have started out with the goal of having both male and female characters available. I'm not going to "demand" that they add it in now.
I'm in the boat of choosing sex is, kinda, the first step of customization. Plus, like I've found from a friend of mine who usually picks girl toons in games, much more appealing to our eyes.
I'm sick of seeing space marines and other big ugly guys running around killing each other. Some pretty ladies would definitely improve the entire FPS genre, especially since they are all the same nowadays anyways.

The only problem in this list as that most of these have little or NO customisation. I'm not sure about Diablo or eternal darkness, but all of the other games you listed are story driven games around a female lead role.SteewpidZombie said:
You dint get the choice because this is part of the story, and yes, you may well say well why couldnt the character be male to begin with, but the point is that this is how the writers intended their character to be.
Put simply, you dont get the choice because you dont get a choice.
OT: i dont really see the problem, the vast majority of the game will be spent AS the person, so you wont get a good look at who you are anyway. The only difference is the sounds and voice of the character.
This is a game, right? Specifically a first person shooter, not something like the Sims where it actually matters what your person looks like?
I'm interested in Brink because shock-horror, the trailer looked good. I personally think the people in it look like they've been bred as some super-humans with genetics far beyond the reach of the best athletes in the history of man.
Who's to say with these super-humans that some of mask-wearers aren't female, you just can't tell due to the minimum pectoral growth being roughly 3 feet broad?

It makes you human. That's a natural feeling, males are generally programmed to protect females.Kukulski said:
How can you read his post up from ur high horse?Aris Khandr said:
How about you get off and stop hating them for doing the right thing.
It is always a good thing when a company focus more on the core game-play and more important things than being able to have boobies in the game.
you could select the "female" option (introduced in halo 3), granted all that changed was your death noise was feminine. broadening, I think a better question might be why a male avatar is always the default, i hardly ever choose a female character in games because it's not what was already there, when i fire up ME3 and the default character model is a girl, ill save the galaxy as Cynthia Shepard.
Clearly, we'll have to disagree on that. My philosophy on things is "don't do them half way". And leaving an entire gender out is certainly "half way" in my eyes. Bully for the boys who get more options, but I, for one, am tired of the idea that female gamers are only worth catering to "if there is time".UmbrellaAssassin said:
I don't really care i was planning on making my self as armoured as possible like normal full face mask,helmet Ect... so gender dosn't matter to me.
Eh, it's not too bad obviously, no girls in TF2 (you cannot see the pyro properly is my point) and I literally remember that the only reason people were girls on halo:reach was because of the hilarious noise they made when they died. That's it really. Rather have decent customization than a half-arsed one.
You do realize that perhaps if these features were in there, and many developers/marketers didn't treat shooters like they were for males only, then female players might feel more welcome to actually play these games. It works both ways. If I feel like you're making a quality game, I'll give you my money. If you're treating my desire to play a game and hyping up the incredible ability to customize someone that looks like me, but then excludes the half of the population I belong to by making an excuse about "time", then you won't.bahumat42 said:
We're a very large part of the market and over half the population. There's just no excuse for this stuff.
Well when I thought of the "heavy" category I wasn't thinking fat. I was imagining tall, wide, and muscle-bound. Qualities few women want or can even achieve if the desire is present. It makes far more sense for a male character model to be a large imposing figure than a female.Wicky_42 said:
I'm not a sexist, and I fully advocate for the inclusion of proper female characters in games, but in this circumstance it doesn't seem to fit. Unless female characters were limited to small and medium builds, which would then cause concern from people like yourself since heavy wasn't included. It's a lose lose.
