Why would I want to look at a dudes ass in third person for 120 hours?

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

Hey, we're not here to judge. You can look at dude-ass to your heart's content.

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

If they keep stacking em, I'll keep packin, em.

[-] django@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 month ago

I heard this several times and it confuses me a lot. Are you actually looking at the backside of the character instead of the rest of the game?

[-] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Honestly, confuses me as well. I'm all for playing whatever gender you want to, but looking at polygons in the shape of a human ass is... different for sure.

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Depends on how much you have to dodge and how much your character is in your peripheral.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

120 hours

Commander Shephard?

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

It's their favourite perspective in the citadel.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 1 month ago

Ha yup that's my go to when I think of it, but it applies to a lot of games. Shepaaaaaaard

[-] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Don't you romance dudes as a female character?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Only when it's necessary for the plot

I don't like ruining my 100% lesbian runs

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Not always…

[-] Pondis@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

I usually play a female character, because if im going to stare at an ass for 120 hours, it might as well be a nice ass.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Exactly my philosophy. Also the whole "escape reality" bit. I also like RPGs where I can be an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince (ok, both of those examples were actually just Divinity: Original Sin 2).

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

if you find yourself playing games as an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince, you may not be entirely human. join my community and see if you relate to being a skeleton or lizard 😃

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 33 points 1 month ago

I'm a big, fat, hairy, cishet dude, and I always play as a woman when it's an option. Female characters generally get more attention from the developers (for obvious reasons), so they usually have better designs and animations, resulting in an objectively higher-quality product. It's also fun in multiplayer games because toxic dweebs hate it when they think they lost to a girl.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 month ago

The same toxic dweebs might also go weird towards you sometimes, it's definitely an experience getting to know why a lot of women carry pepper spray in public.

[-] Cloaca@mtgzone.com 3 points 1 month ago

100%

I was playing Monster Hunter World and made a character based on the Hub Lass.

It took less than two hours online to get someone asking if I have a boyfriend.

[-] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

My little sister had to change her PSN username because men would keep messaging her out of the blue sending her their numbers and asking for nudes/snapchat.

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

funnily enough that's exactly (but opposite) what i told myself before i realised i was a trans man

"oh i play exclusively male characters because they have better armour models and the animations look more immersive, and i prefer to hear a dude talk/groan when i'm in dialogue or get hit. no other reason haha"

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

If I’m going to spend several hours staring at the backside of a character, I want it to be a cute girl, thank you.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

I've just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I'm a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

Have you ever considered being a lady in real life?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think that's an unreasonable question! But no, I have not. I'm very comfortable in my own body as it was given to me.

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

That's reasonable, but not everyone has gender dysphoria. There are some people who are comfortable as they are but would be blissfully happy and euphoric as the opposite gender, without even knowing it.

If a person plays as an opposite-gender character, it's because they secretly wish to be that gender and are therefore trans.

If a person plays as a same-gender character, it's because they like looking at same-gender ass and are therefore gay.

There are no other options.

If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean's they're a furry.

[-] Transtronaut 6 points 1 month ago

On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of humor that led to me repressing my gender identity. I feel so conflicted.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That's the neat part: you can't repress your gender identity because 'straight' wasn't an option!

(Unless you actually are straight, but whatever -- it won't kill us to be the ones who have to just fuckin' deal with it, for once!)

(Seriously though, my intent was to be funny in an inclusive way, not a repressive way. Apologies if I missed the mark!)

My wife plays as a male and I play as a female. When we were playing wow, random male characters would drop me 100gold at a time. This is when we were very early into wow and we just started getting silvers.

[-] suite403@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Star Wars Galaxies I would leave my character dancing in a cantina and come back to thousands of tips in credits.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I did the same. I normally wearing skimpy clothes. Unfortunately in WoW you have to be there to accept.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 month ago

Playing the opposite gender would knock me out of immersion much less than installing that many anime-ish mods.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I think that's ffxiv.

Or someone modded skyrim to be ffxiv.

I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.

:3

[-] carotte 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

i play female characters because it’s better for speedruns :3

no i don’t do speedruns, why do you ask?

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I like girls so much I became one in real life 🏳️‍⚧️

[-] hahattpro@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I play opposite gender so i can fapping while playing

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Boy wait until you hear about this thing called internet porn. Gonna blow your mind.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

can i play it?

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Boy wait till you hear about this thing called adult flash games. Wayy better than porn.

[-] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Forcing trans ideals on folks because of the character they play is one of the reason the cheeto bandito won... just stop it its toxic as fuck.

[-] BoiBy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

For me that depends on a game. I noticed that in a fantasy game I usually pick female character and if it's more normal earthly setting (especially shooters) I go with male. I don't know why, maybe because of outfits. For me fantastical outfits look cooler on girls and military outfits look cooler on dudes.

[-] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Most guys are playing female characters. Even most female player chose them and women hate women the most. :D

[-] dumpsterac1d@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Several bro justifications in here however this has lead to thousands of cracked eggs and it's only a matter of time fellas

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

Lots of people make excuses, but if they really sat down and thought about it without any internalized transphobia they'd realize it's actually because they want to be a girl more than anything else.

I just think they look better. Rather stare at something nice than fugly. The only time i play a male is when they have bad ass enough looking armor at low enough levels. Even then its prob an alt from all the gear I got on my female main since its not usable on her.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You can't talk about immersion if your Skyrim character looks like that. Nothing immersive about it.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

The floor and wall textures alone scream "this is NOT Skyrim!" but some asian MMORPG. FF14? Black Desert?

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I've tried it once or twice, really isn't for me, always end up going back to a male character. Maybe if I played more in third person, I'd be more likely to play as a female one... but probably still no.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Is that the new Roaming Girl set?
