Does the gender of the player character in a game matter to you?

[Noobles 301]

I used to. Now, I don't really care. Still makes me wonder why I cared so much when I was little. Now, I just play and enjoy the game.

Even though I'm female and have never been a transgender (however I am a severe tomboy), if given the choice (e.g Pokemon or online gaming) I will always choose to be a male. Why? I have no idea. Even though I sometimes play games with a heroine, I prefer to play a male hero.

The gender shouldn't really matter. I'd love Kingdom Hearts even if the main protagonist is a girl.

Nope, doesn't matter to me at all. 

[Weedanort 8,786]

I never cared for something like that.

Not at all in fact I like playing both genders and more the female ones cause they usually are badazz 

[Think Pink 1,967]

I don't really care, unless it's Munchkin. In that game, the gender you select determines which items you're allowed to use.

Meh, the gender of character doesn't really matter. If I can choose, I will usually choose male first and then play second playthrough as female

I don't really care - personality is more important to me.

However, if the female (if I have the choice) will look like a half naked something whereas the guy looks "normal" I would choose him.

I wouldn't say it's a deciding factor, i.e. if a game is released with only a male character, I will still play (i.e. majority of KH), however when given the option of male or female (MMORPG ex.) I would always choose male.  Cause:

1. I'm a girl too

2. I can make her look like a beautiful hoe.

 

Also depends on the level of sexism in it.  Like, if it's a game where the storyline is better on another gender, I go for the best one or chronological order.  Or if the female is a weak, melee character with no skill or anything while the guy has tons of abilities, I got for the best stats.

I really don't care what gender the main character is just if the story is good.  When I have the option I pick female though.

[Pyrrha Nikos 1,162]

It doesn't matter to me at all.

[J. Severe 1,137]

YES!

 

...

 

Nah, not really.

I had no problem with Aqua.

[WayfinderKeyblade 2]

I don't care at all. But if the main character IS a girl it gives the game more of a chance of me playing it if that makes sense. Which it probably doesn't ^_^'
