Male or Female?

As for customization they can still sell whatever they want to add to a char.

I wouldn't say that comic is a fitting analogy.

There's a point where you cannot satisfy everyone, no matter what you do. MMO game models are no where near that point and there's a lot of things that can be done about making models that look good (I.E. are realistic and of high quality), but not just be eye candy.

EDIT: I'd like to add that the planetside models look fine to me. I think there's a distinct difference between the genders, but it's not turned into some kind of spank bank material and that's just the way it should be. They'll never eradicate sexualization from video games, humans (not just men) are hardwired to look for it (as a dude, I totally understand), but to exaggerate it like they do sometimes just seems ingenuous.

In multiplayer games, I always play a male character because I want it to be representative of me.

[Zidane]

Male for sure!!!

[SGT Apone]

Most def male

[Furber]

I always have tons of alts, so I'm bound to make a few of them females. My main, however, will likely be male.

[Mastachief]

Which ever presents the smallest visual target or warps better... that's what all the cool kids do.

[Antivide]

Both. Variety is always nice. Probably a female NC and a male VS.

TR can suck it.

[Gonefshn]

just gunna be a guy. just cause i am one and its simple lol

[HEISTT]

A male character on the TR faction on my main server. A female character to use as a spying alt on the other factions.

[Spiritbeast]

im going to be playing VS and a healer, my manhood will be questioned enough as it is, so im playing male ; P

[chipshop]

i'm a man but i'll prob play female character model.

my logic? i like my media to have a female protagonist. even if i will just be a lowly wee soldier the game is gonna revolve around me, its gonna be starrin me. i will be the centre of the entire game. just as you will all be the centres of your games.

if i'm just one of few women amongst a load of men then fair enough. its a choice and i am very glad it is there.

[Deadeye]

I'll be playing a male. Always have, always will (if given the choice). Why? I'm not so desperate as some who need to look at a woman's rear while playing a game like is the excuse in most MMOs.

[Craftyatom]

I will play both. I highly enjoy playing female characters, (despite the fact that I am a male; it just seems oftentimes that female characters have more finesse, and I'm not a "brute force" type of person) but will probably have at least one male character as well. At least in this game people can't make fun of me because they think I'm attracted to my character; this is a first person game, and as such I'll be watching the battlefield and not my avatar.

I abhor any game that gives a gender bonus. People should be able to switch gender of their own accord, without a special incentive that makes all the min/maxers want to play one specifically. I'm pretty sure the devs are smarter than that though

Intriguing idea

I know. But I like this minicar-bike. ;3
Looking forward for a bend over body and a nice female butt.

[VSENSES]

If given the option I always choose a female, not sure why but they are always in minority so it's fun. And in PS2 one might be remembered more as a female pain than male.
