Resident evil 5, a game where the second player is a female.. People hated the cow.
Army of 2, a game that has 2 male characters in their co-op storyline... People automatically assume they're gay!
There's just no pleasing anyone is there..
I'd laugh if the developers just threw their hands up in the air and shipped the next co-op game with transvestites...
I think it's less that they're both male and more that they seem to be going out of their way to do masculine things. People secure in their sexuality don't do that.
As a side note, people hated Sheva? I didn't think she was that bad, or at least not any worse than anyone else in that god-awful game.
I think we've just heard different sides of the story when it came to Sheva... I never personally had a problem with her. I've heard a gripe or 30 from others about how much they couldn't stand her as a character. I'm not including those who have had a problem with her in single player though.
I've never got to play through the entire first Ao2, seeing as how I only get to play it when I go to my brothers house... So unless I missed a cutscene that ripped off that one commercial I once saw where 2 guys accidentally kissed and then immediately pulled out some chest hair to prove their manhood. The main characters in the game seemed to act like brothers to me..
My brother and I just looked at eachother and laughed when my character tried to lift open a gate, failing miserably, and his character just shoves him out of the way and lifts it with ease. (This happens all the time in some way, shape, or form in RL when he and I hang out.)
Perhaps if they were actually brothers, would their actions be overlooked? That being asked with the hopes that I'm not missing out on anything considering I have yet to play through it all.
