the only Metal Gear thing I've seen is that cutscene where the buff as gently caress super-senator beats up the anime ninja and I'm pretty sure there's nothing else the series could do that's better than that

i started from 2-3 and then did 1 before 4.

it's better to go in order because they add new things to the controls with each installment so going from a later game to an earlier one can throw you off on the controls.

LAME.

The Boss is a bad rear end. She makes a super Nazi-fighting crew full of weirdos. That's all you need to know.

Sorry but the last thing we need is a thirty hour game about how The Boss met The Pain and convinced him that housing hornets inside his body was some how necessary to defeat the Nazis.

If a game has a female protagonist it's already got a check mark in the 'trying something different' category and I crave novelty.

Plus female protags are inherently radder. (more rad?)

if you don't play femshep in mass effect or laura bailey in saints row you are playing those games wrong

sort of depends on the game.

Mass Effect = I like the femshep VA better
Other 3rd person shooters (Defiance) = Female characters tend to be smaller and block less of my view
MMOs = female characters tend to have better outfit options. robes/dresses don't look weird on them and I like my mage characters to wear such clothes. If I am playing a tanky warrior I pick w/e race/gender combo looks good in the big plate armor.

pretty much the only series I don't play as a girl in is Saint's Row. My goal in Saint's Row 1 was to abuse the character creator as much as possible and create a grotesque so I wound up with a 350 pound man with red-irised eyes that were simultaneously sunken and bugged out, a hare lip and a crown of bright orange dreads. I got attached to the look and have created the exact same guy in every sequel.

he does DRESS as a woman though

choose the female southern voice in saints' row 4 and pitch it down a few. you'll sound like michael jackson and the game has all of his moves as taunts.

Because the female model is usually better plus you get more clothing options and it's a nice change of pace.
