I said that it was male slanted, not that it was a "guy game."

I know, I meant disagreeing with another poster it being a guy game.

With Kasumi, it's five humans, six aliens, one robot. Aliens outnumber human by one, and even then if you break up by species you get five humans and one of everything else.

The Geth aren't robots. They are a synthetic race.  I also factored in Wrex and Liara into my equation.

You also need to look at who is buying and playing the games. Now I know there are girl gamers out there, but what % of the sales are girls? I could look it up I suppose, but my guess is that it is overwhelmingly guys that by the game.

Thane was engineered specifically for female players.

Really? Because it really shows. I'd like a human guy who knows how to relax! Playful flirting! These are good things.

Well, uh... there's Garrus... not exactly a human, but when did non-important details matter?

Other than the whole "bodily fluids can kill you" thing.

Hmmm...

A lot of research has shown "woman" or "girl" gamers are far more numerous than a lot of people think. Even with games like Halo (games that many consider to be very "male" oriented) the number of women that play these games are suprisingly high. These figures are suprisingly high even in traditional competitive games, both those involving cooperative behaviours (raiding in MMOs) or outright compitition (Halo Deathmatches).

Though other research did show woman gamers tend to gravitite to certain games, the list of games they prefer is suprisingly high and diverse, and would suprise many male players (basically, no they did not all play PopCap games). Either case, a game like ME does fall on the prefered list easily.

I know a couple of girls who really love God of War, which is about as macho as you can get.

Not into it myself, mainly cause I'm crap at that type of game.

If you ask me I think they should either add someone from another species like a Batarian or another member from a species we already have. Another Krogan, Turian or an Asari. I think I'd prefer a Batarian but if that can't happen I'd like a Turian.

[Soma Holiday]

I would love another Turian. Just no more damn human females. i guess that's what I'm getting at haha, clearly.



I'm a girl who plays mostly male oriented games, like Halo, Gears, Bioshock, CoD, Ninja Gaiden, etc. And the ones that skirt the middle like Mass Effect and Fable. I do love Tomb Raider but I don't play MMOs or RTS or Sims though...I'd totally play God of War if I had a PS3...



but I don't think this issue is about pleasing girls for the sake of pleasing them. Like I said, the game lets you play as a female so you should get just as many opportunities as the male character gets, despite whether or not the player themselves is a female...

Garrus is sweet and all, but the constant chance of death is a great mood-killer. But I guess that's a valid point. I'd just like a leading male that wasn't so.. safe and cautious, I suppose.

If I taped down the "attack" button when playing God of War I can beat that game. Not exactly a complicated game

Anyway, girls do enjoy a lot of same activities as guys. And many guys do actually enjoy the same activities as girls, but will not admit to it.

Except for me of course!

[KalosCast]

Let's look at the female human squadmates in Mass Effect

Ashley - Gunnery Officer Blandy

Miranda - Intense loyalist, runaway, criminal

Jack - psychotic, conflicted, powerful, criminal



And for the guys?

Kaidan - Lieutennant Blandy

Jacob - Blandy 2: Blandy Harder

Jenkins - Dead before he can even reveal a tragic backstory.

[Sharn01]

No more human's, they already outnumber every other race as squadmates 7 to 1

No, but I'm just no good at the "fight eleventy-billion enemies" type games where you cut through all of them like butter then the boss actually makes you pay attention and kills you.
Plus they give me a headache.

Am a dude and I am not fond of those games either. Not saying they are bad, a lot of people love them. Not my cup of tea. *goes back to playing Ace Attorney Investigations: Edgeworth on his DS*

Yeah, we gamers are a diverse lot. We're just different. Not crazy, and I'll kill anyone who says otherwise.

Exactly - the human males are utterly bland and forgettable... I'm with the OP on this one. There needs to be at least one more male human squad member with a distinctive personality in the way that Miranda and Jack are distinctive, preferably one who, as a LI, isn't so damn nice to FemShep . She needs a challenge.

I mean I like the alien male LIs and all (I think Garrus has the most interesting personality of all them), but the idea that my poor FemShep isn't physically... compatible with them hurts the roleplaying for me. I'd like for there to be at least one human male LI that FemShep can physically be with (without her being in danger of dying, or getting painful rashes and having hallucinations ) who also manages to be interesting as a person.

I play as a femshep so there will be a total of 4 female humans on my squad once Kasumi enters the picture, which has me a little annoyed.

You seem to be counting your Shepard here, don't do that, it skews the results...

Even just looking at love interests it comes out roughly equal: Male Shepards get 3 human love interests to 2 alien, female Shepards get 2 human to 3 alien.
