YaTEdiGo: The thing is that is IRRELEVANT.
Why every single game should give these options to the players? Some people have serious empathy problems to be a man and play as a woman? be a woman and play as a man?
Using videogames as a way to find the REAL YOU, is in my opinion, far from being a healthy resolution. No wonders people that believe this is good can have such big problems with pixelated representations.
Emob78: So... you're saying that having options in video games is a bad thing? Am I hearing that right?
Leave it to someone from Japan to confuse the ever-loving shit out of me.
Creativity is about not only add, but to cut. Creators must have the freedom to add or not options in the game, depending on what fits better their artistic vision.
I choose girls tons of times even in games as Baldurs Gate, where I cannot precisely be accused of looking her butt, but still I think is the creator decision, it must not be a MUST option.
Examples: GOTHIC
Gothic is an ¨only pennises¨ prison, where women have almost non appearance, and in some way brings a very realistic atmosphere to a game that takes place, in a prison... I disliked so much the fact that you need to cope with this guy I didnt even liked as a man character from the very beginning of the game, to discover later that the game is simply GREAT, and the character gender and the general man atmosphere fits perfectly the universe.
In the other side, STARWARS BATTLEFRONT
I am sorry to say that I seeing women and several races Stormtroopers just because people in PC America are fans of the EMPIRE too (Because now STARWARS is a thing for everyone... and should be SOFT so being the F... EMPIRE must be also INCLUSIVE xDDDD), so even if Finn is one of the few things that are cool in that crap named The Force Awakens... even if the Clones were all ¨latin¨ in some way, I am sorry, but every time I see asians, blacks and women being fascists soldiers in STARWARS it destroys my suspension of disbelief ... they should be in the other side, exaggerated and crowding the side of the REBELLION, because come on! those are the good guys! with Grand Moth Momma elected as a leader and not an old creepy Emperor...
I cannot be accused to not like GIRLS in games, as I loved CATE ARCHER when nobody else paid attention to her, or Faith in Mirrors Edge, or played LIFE IS STRANGE as one of my favorite games recently. But all those women make SENSE. I should ruin NO ONE LIVES FOREVER with a MALE character just to having the option? Make the developers trick the story for both mediocre characters instead of work in a great one like Archer?
