no i'm not sexist.

but i was just thinking that probabaly the only reason they put girls in games is to attract the majority of gamers-men (i said majority not gamers :P)

take lara croft for example:

yes it was a great game in the first place but after time i think they just ran out of ideas and stuck her in a catsuit to attract sad lowlife male gamers that love to drool at her (i bought the game)

*hangs head in shame*

also perfect dark...yes, yes a great game but what really brought my attention to it was the main charcter in a leather catsuit!

in Jak and Daxter on the ps2 (great game buy it its comin' out on platinum!) got my attention because there was a female character that had a fine butt and big bouncy *ahem*

so really i think that game designers should put more females in games to just simply make more money! because i would love to see a wonder women game, or catwomen game!

what do you think?

Lots of girls prefer to play as female characters, so female characters attarct blokes and girlies to games.

its a win win situation.

I prefer playing as female characters when I've got the choice. Especially in third person games.

I prefer to stare at the backside of a female character thant the backside of a male character for however long I play.
