I swear SJW's act like the make market is 100% male heroes. Geared toward the average male, The only thing me and geralt of rivia have in common is we both have long hair and like women. When his shirt comes off I feel like crap and have to turn off the game cry in my pillow and listen to feminist tell me I am some how in control of the world, when I don't have any control over my own life. Thanks social justice warriors!

I play GOOD games so I do not care if the main character is a male/female, black/white or even human/alien. So when I see a marketing chip being made pushing the point "The male gender does not have the monopoly on heroism" it makes me laugh. STFU and make a good game and stop trying to be a social justice warrior. If you want a Female lead great but you need to sell gameplay not the gender of the main character.

I have finished the Mass Effect Series an unhealthy number of times but I have only finished it 2 times with the male Shepard. The majority of my play throughs were with my FemShep. No asinine comments from the developers needed to make me choose her.

Why does that having a female character have to be plugged as a selling point? We know male characters don't have a monopoly on heroism. We've known this since Samus Aran and Lara Croft.

As an average male gamer who isn't particularly ripped and has little experience with firearms or martial arts, and does not possess abundant amounts of confidence and impeccable charm, I am outraged at the way video games portray the male gender and would like to see more characters who accurately represent my people.

Said none of us ever.

It's good to be a proud owner of Xbox one.i have a good feel ing about this game.metroid developers that worked for Nintendo and Zelda inspired.

Amazing how many people are hating on this game simply because of one quote that people are taking offense to for no goddamn reason whatsoever. Pretty sure people wouldn't be hating so much if this game weren't an exclusive.

Okay. Garbage tier project confirmed.

@heavengirl15: Agreed...but for I, game play and story matter, not gender...

Ehh... duh... now tell us skin color dont matter and games dont promote violence... nah too vague... tell us the sky is blue and the grass is green... hmm... global warming might change that... anyways, obvious much is my point.

Just make a character you love, and gender doesnt matter, basically you started off the other way around with this character then. hut het its got a puppy, too many games with dogs... dogs dont have the monoply on heroism in games!! #gravityrush #caitsith

Dude's correct... the male gender apparently does not have the monopoly on heroism... as is hinted by the 54 pages of newly released Steam games tagged with 'Female Protagonist'. This isn't special.

"The male gender does not have the monopoly on heroism..."

Seriously. Like you are the first OR the last to make a game featuring a female lead. Stop acting like it is in anyway miraculous! I doubt any game touting that line will ever really top The Last of Us. Which did a pretty great job putting a female in the lead without having to shout "LOOK, I STAND WITH THE FEMINISTS."

Oh, and someone revoke his man card.

Getting pretty tired of female characters forced into games for equalty and all that stuff nobody cares about

Would have been nice if you could chose your gender. Ive nothing against female protagonists but i prefer to play my own gender.

@shibaz: Actually, it's probably the developer's quote that is in huge font, and apparently the only real topic covered by the entire article that kind of sparked it.

@shibaz: we dont care what gender the protagonist is. we care that the whole games purpose seems to be based around the fact that the protagonist is female. even though having a girl main character has already been done. i mean just look at that stupid fucking quote in the title of the article... And actually, in most games you CAN be female.

As long as the game is good and worth playing...doesn't matter to me if it's a man or woman....who cares...

Just to make a quick point, but this game isn't going to sell sh*t. Sorry to break it to you. I'm all for strong female characters, but when these devs start to try to appeal to the Anita's of the gaming world (even though she's not a gamer), then literally no one cares. Rise of the Tomb Raider didn't sell and that's an excellent game with a well known female hero. So yeah, if people actually cared about feminism in games, they'd buy the games.

I'm all for gender equality, but every time I see someone say "our main character is a girl because feminism, YEAH!!!!" it already gives me a bad opinion of the game. Female protagonists are great, but too often when someone calls so much attention to the gender and tries to get consumers to buy it on that alone, the product itself (be it a game, movie, book, whatever) doesn't have much to offer aside from the girl power element.

So the story will be needlessly vague and will require you to bounce back and forth between media forms to get what you need to know out of who the characters are and why they're doing what they're doing?
Joseph Staten is not the kind of person you want to put on writing your story if you're looking to interest this fellow in particular.
This has made me less interested in this game, and the "girl power" aspect of it is pushing me away even further.

"The male gender does not have the monopoly on heroism" "Joule is emblematic of this conviction, and we hope she's a character who stands strong and stands out in a market filled with male heroes."

Yeah, blame males for developers these days being too inept and uninspired to write actual interesting and diverse well-written characters. No-One Lives Forever was a total masterpiece and not because it had a 'strong female protagonist', but because it was a totally unique and amazing game with superb writing, brilliant design philosophies behind it and extremely fun and varied gameplay.

It's not as if males froth at the mouth when having to play as a female character, it's this trend of making it feel like there's some kind of quota in place with a blatant agenda behind it of trying to look progressive to appease this wave of biased, completely one-sided 'journalism' and get praise from groups who bully developers into changing *their* piece of art. It feels forced, completely bland and lacks vision and soul.

From makers of Metroid and MegaMan with writers from Destiny and Halo?

Game should be a MONSTER

This game really really looks interesting , can't wait to find out more about it

Aaaand there went my excitement for this game.

This is all a conspiracy from the feminazis and sjws on their attempt to rule the world. If you gonna talk about your game tell me how many pixels is your game going to have.

Also, great bait!

As a guy I want more female leads. I generally play as a female character, most recently in Dragon Age and Fallout 4. I'd rather look at someone attractive for 60+ hours than some dude.

Who the hell cares if the hero is a woman or a man?

So Samus Aran, Lara Croft, Joanna Dark, Supergirl, Rey from Star Wars, and many other female protagonists don't exist apparently.

There are no gender issues in the games industry. That's stuff that's been spread around by misinformed people who aren't even interested in video games to begin with.

At the end of the day the market will decide whether this game is good. I'm kinda glad that they said this in a way, because if the game ends up not selling well I can almost be sure that they'll play the "Sexism" card even if the game ends up being crap which to be honest is looking very possible at this moment in time.

Will I be getting this game? Nope, not until it can be proved that's its worth the money. They did say the game is inspired by Metroid which might make the game good.
