Playing Chicks

[ljkkjlcm9]

I usually have both. I have certain classes that i play as certain genders.

THE JACKEL

I'm with Pike and MILF here. Whatever I feel like at the time.

It depends on the style more that the gender. For fighting games I tend to learn the really fast, combo happy female characters and the complete opposite all power male characters first. All the males and females in between don't interest me as much at first.

I liked Makoto from Street Fighter III because she was a slow moving, strong female fighter. You don't get that too often.

For table top, pencil and paper RPG's I switch back and forth between male and female characters. Just depends on my mood.

[Mo-Nercy]

I don't play MMO's but if I did, I'd probably go for a male character unless there was an awesome female-specific class that I was interested in using.

Fighting games are a different story. If anything I prefer using female characters in those. I like my characters to be somewhat nimble with all sorts of stances, counters, cancels, mix-ups etc. which usually ties me to a female character as my main (or an effeminate guy).

[Rostum]

I have noticed a trend where females IRL tend to exclusively roll females in games.

I met quite a few girls that played a Galka in FFXI (a male only race), simply for the fact that they hated guys hitting on them, lol.

Anyways, I don't care what I pick but I usually just go with a dude.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I don't play MMOs, but my Spartan on Halo Reach is male. People tend to go after the girls and teabag them just because.

[DMKA]

Opportunity given, I always play the beefiest muscle dude available.

Unless it's a fighting game. Than I almost always play as a chick.

[Vermachtnis]

I almost always play as girls. Cause physically imposing chicks are awesome and since at the time and even now they're rare, I go and make my own. Two people are a lot nicer when you're a girl character. And three, if I'm going to be staring at an ass for 100 bajillion hours, I want to stare at a nice ass.

[Loony BoB]

If it's an online game where people might not know who I am irl, I play as a guy. I like to be represented somewhat accurately (ie, a guy and usually a 'good' character) so when someone talks to me, they have at least a vague idea of what I am possibly like. However, offline, I don't really care so much. I suppose I do pick guys more often than girls, but sometimes when you have fixed characters to select from (eg. fighting games, RPGs, beat'em'up games, etc) I will pick a female character because none of the male characters appeal to me.

[Polnareff]

I play as whoever I want in whatever game.

Although in the past, especially in fighting games, I have used females a lot. For example, in Street Fighter Alpha 3 I use R. Mika (a female wrestler), and in Super Street Fighter IV I used Makoto for a time until I switched to T. Hawk.

In Mario Party I always, ALWAYS use Peach, just to be a troll.

Story time: I used to think that "I play a girl because I want to stare at a nice ass" was a bit of a silly reason. I wrote it off as a guy thing that I didn't quite get.

Then one day I rolled a male blood elf in WoW and now I understand.

[Madame Adequate]

Steph I hate to tell you this, but you didn't roll a Male Belf, because there are no Male Belfs. There are Female Belfs, and Tall Female Belfs. You lesbian.

[Del Murder]

I always play a guy, but I'm not opposed to playing a chick character if they look better than the dude characters, which in FFXIV appears to be the case.

I don't have a problem with other people playing characters outside their gender. I've known tons of Manthras in FFXI. Like MILF says you just play what you want to play. It's just a game. What bothers me is when they get really into the role and pretend like they are girls playing girls. I've known some people in FFXI who did this and it creeped me out.

We knew someone who would constantly "change their mind" about which gender they were and it was really weird.

[Rocket Edge]

I've only ever played as a guy, not that I'm against playing as a girl. I think I play as a dude mostly because it's easier to imagine myself as that character.
