Horizon Zero Dawn: How It Feels To Slay Robots In The Future

@ptown58: I play first person games... Nice try. I never even thought of such a thing. Clearly you thought of it.

@livedreamplay: I think responders here did a far better job of illuminating your attempt to cover your own gender uncertainty. Nice try. But I'm a man. I was born this way (like you were born to be feminine).

I lift weights (mostly because I like to be strong but also because women love muscle), I ride a Ducati Diavel (you'll need to google that), drive a manual (2017 STI - you'll need to google that), I drink protein and beer (sometimes together), eat protein, talk about women with other male coworkers (such as the hottest girls at work, girls with the best asses, etc.). Right now I'm on a business trip and I ordered room service. I got a burger with bacon, eggs, mayo on it, french fries, soda, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and nachos for later. I also just scratched my nuts.

You may go cry now.

@livedreamplay: Your first sentence is an unsupported assertion, and also a blatant falsehood. There is nothing in psychology to back up the idea that a guy who likes to play video games as a guy is somehow insecure about his sexuality. At the same time, there is every indication in real life that people gravitate toward the familiar, and in the case of video game immersion very often prefer verisimilitude. For example, I have never played as a female in Skyrim. You also suggested GT_APE didn't know "what side of the fence" he was on. This is incendiary, unwarranted, and the kind of comment someone makes who is using the appearance of scientific language to attack another person. Assuming you actually think he is confused about his identity, you are then attacking him for that same disposition. Your comments are insincere, inflammatory, and undisciplined, and deliberately aggressive. Adding a smiley face at the end of such a post only makes you appear smug. Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about. The vast majority of men/boys who play skyrim do so as male characters. Your uneducated mind is literally accusing most players of being identity confused. There's nothing sinister or aberrant about a man who prefers role playing as a man. If you want to be perceived as intelligent, don't talk like a teenager who uses sanctimony to put other people down.

@livedreamplay: That's a pretty dismal view on other people's utility. While I will, no problem, play a female character when playing a role (Tomb Raider, HZD, etc.) I would not choose to play one if given the choice....to each their own without your childish Freudian junk attributing the rationale.

@GT_APE: You're literally arguing that either a game has fetch quests or it is a life simulator that asks you to brush your teeth. When you think only in hyperbole, nobody will take you seriously and your comments will be irrational.

@livedreamplay: You accidentally stumbled upon the reason this looks unexciting: no story. Everything shown so far is gameplay, but no indication of a world or story that draws you in. That doesn't mean there won't be one, but as of right now they're doing a hard sell on the visuals and gameplay while ignoring story and world building. It's what developers and movie studios do when they're trying to capitalize on the younger market, i.e., consumers who have less experience and are more dazzled by visuals and cool looking skill trees. It DOES look boring. This is a legitimate reaction to advertising that ignores story and world building.
