@GoddessRei2@CoreyBrennanFF I didn't say they weren't. I am saying Men are the core audience for gaming, and if they decide they don't need them at much to sell this by all means.
@GoddessRei2@CoreyBrennanFF How is it nonsense? Men like to imagine being a powerful man, or looking at a beautiful woman. What is so hard to understand about that?
@GoddessRei2@CoreyBrennanFF Yeah, that's the point of media and entertainment. To imagine being someone you're not ( Spartan 117, Kratos, etc.). Men don't want to play unattractive women.
@GoddessRei2@CoreyBrennanFF Men want to either play as someone they can imagine themselves as (Kratos) or a beautiful woman. Most male gamers are not going to be excited to play an unattractive character model. They can keep learning the same lesson over and over too.
@theflowergirl90@Goorflack Right. They can't make their own thing good enough, so they have to take the fame of a well known male led franchise, get rid of or kill them, to make it work. Because it wouldn't be good enough on its own.
@spuddgaming@XayStationTV Because they couldn't sell it without the title. That's the problem these piggybacking characters would never be good enough to be their own game without borrowing the title.
@wearecyberpunks Metroid not as Samus or Tomb Raider not as Lara, would be equally bad. People play a franchise for the franchise main character. Similar backlash happened in Halo 5 when they diminished John's role. It's not becuase she's a woman.
@HazMattyGaming No, they get upset about a franchise they like being hijacked and replaced with a character other than the main character they got used to for 20 years. Nobody has an issue playing Jill or Claire in Resident Evil.
@NovaSethh Case in point: people lost their shit in Halo 5 because you aren't playing John for the most part. Wasn't an issue of sex, but it's not the character people came for.
