Is part of the reason why women don't tend to play shooters the simple fact that most of them have no playable female characters?
Would Mass Effect series really have attracted as many females if Comander Shepard could only be a man?
Girl Gamer: Ooh. Thats a cool game. Is that Gears of War?
Boy Gamer: Sure is.
Girl Gamer: There is a female soldier in your team. Do I get to play as her?
Boy Gamer: No. You just play as the dude.
Girl Gamer: That's rubbish.Why can't I play as the woman?
Boy Gamer: Don't blame me. I didn't make the game.
You can play as a female in Gears of War 3, not very often, but it's still possible. I play it a fair bit, multiplayer though so I guess it's a bit diff coz you can choose your character obviously.
Your first question though is a big no. Only because you said shooters, in shooters it's not 100% required I need to be a female character, RPG's on the other hand, it's a definite requirement.
If Commander Shepard could only be a male, I would never have played Mass Effect. So I will always be thankful for that, because it introduced me to such an amazing universe.
Wait... Did you just call Mass Effect a shooter?
Mass Effect is a hybrid of shooter and RPG with special tech and biotic powers!
