Exactly. My roommate asked me why I created a female character back when I was playing World of Warcraft. My response was that if I'm going to spend well over 100 hours looking my character's ass it might as well be a female.
It's nice to have a choice, but I can honestly say being restricted to a female character has never once been a factor in whether or not I want to play a game. I loved The Longest Journey and Dreamfall (up until it abruptly ended without resolving anything), and I've always been fond of the Metroid series as well.
Man, this whole fiasco reads like satire. "European launch goes without major issues" Update: "Never mind, we spoke to soon, all the servers are currently down."
Man Gamespot, your video streaming is terrible. I understand you're providing a free service and all, but if you can't stream a video at a higher rate than 35 KBps you shouldn't even be trying. And it's not my connection, because right now I'm streaming 1080p video from youtube just fine.
I would gladly throw some money at this game, so long as they promise to deliver a complete story this time. The 'ending' to Dreamfall was far and away the worst ending to a video game I've ever seen. It was worse than the end of The Sopranos.
@Gandaleon No, that ending wasn't a cliffhanger, it was a punch in the groin. That's an awful way to end a game if you don't already have a sequel in the works.
@plasticreality You really should play TLJ. Unlike Dreamfall it actually had a complete story with a conclusion, as opposed to just ending abruptly without resolving anything.
