discussion Do you really enjoy female protag games?

[xatfx]

I prefer male protagonists.
"Fashion Business," "Anna: Exciting Affection," and "Steps of Debauchery" are exceptions, however.

 

[Catchetail]

I enjoy them if they are well written

 

[TheMC]

No. I prefer a regular guy (not super, not super endowed) as MC. Something I can see myself as.

 

[MrJay]

Nah, I need to get immersed in the role of the MC when I play VNs so that doesn't work. Futa protag is no problem though, if it's mostly futa on female content.

Some games seem a little confused and have both male and female protag tags even though the actual MC is only male, but beyond games like that I do not EVER bother even trying games that are female protag. It's just 100% not for me.

 

[Karamchad]

Mostly no. Controlling a female to purposely be used over and over by random male npcs while I as the player have to pick the choices does not hit me very well.
A game must be exceptionally good for me to try it.

 

[Pickle1234]

Hm depends on the game, not in a VN but something like Wild Life female prog isn't bad.

 

[exerp]

I’ve enjoyed some. Actual Roomates stands out as my female mc game favorite so far. I also like the Thirty Days 'aunt' route so far.

It is about having a good story with character development. If the story is good, I dont mind whatever gender the mc is.

Just not into guy on guy stuff, so whether the women are LI or MC is okay.

 

[impisi]

If there's corruption involved (MC or otherwise) and it's written half-decently then yes, but the more vanilla it is the less interest I tend to have in it.

 

[Ayonchicc]

I almost never like these games. Most of the time, if I REALLY like the art, I'll just download the game + fullsave and check out the gallery / recollection room.
The only exception I can think of is Magical Girl Celesphonia, which I liked so much that I played it 3 or 4 times (all on virgin runs).
Speaking of MGC, does anyone know of any games with similar mechanics of instantly killing an enemy when attacking him from behind at overlevel? I really enjoyed leveling like that) First you work for the grind, and then the grind works for you .

 

[Bruk_Thorps]

Really depends on the character and side-characters, but generally no. Something like Sin Heels seemed like a thing I would enjoy theme-wise, so I gave it a shot despite the female protag, but gave up cause I just couldn't get into the mindset of seducing men.

 

[Vidilo]

No, I prefer a male identification figure.

 

[Raodos455]

Only if there is incest and lesbian path

 

[Freveiss]

some i dont mind. I have played GirlLife, and tried to see how long i can last without succumbing to temptation....

 

[bdogvn25]

That is pretty much a skip it tag for me. I have played a couple dumb koala games with a female protag but I feel like I'm watching a show rather than in The game

 

[LewdVN111]

Definitely a skip it tag for me. I like many others put my self in the shoes of the MC when reading really any story book or VN.

 

[dragonsong64]

I like them but there aren't too many well written ones from a female perspective. My favorite option is a game where you get to choose and can play through as either and dialogue and such are noticeably difference. Hard to find, but some exist.

 

[HandholdDegen]

Sure, but it depends on the content. If it is a game where the point is just to get killed or raped over and over then no. I hate that and don't see the appeal. Wouldn't be any better if I was playing a male either..
If it is a sex game like any other, then I like it as much as any other. Bonus if it a bisexual game and not exclusively hetero with ugly men.

 

[goj]

Naaah. Male protagonist is always better. One reason: immersion.

 

[itisjj]

Instead of accompanying many girls, you accompany one, it's an interesting difference sometimes, a fresh situation.

 

[MercurioC]

Yeah, it offers a completely different perspective, and you can throw the characters into all sorts of situations
