nawwwwww, it's not like that, he says he can't get immersed in games where he has to play a woman, my brother does the same thing. i don't agree with it but screw it, we all play games for different reasons, and if his is to get immersed then i really can't even hate on that
Eh, some people just prefer to look at dudes for 30+ hours lol. Everyone has preferences. But yes, skipping games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn or NieR: Automata because they have female leads is fucking shallow-minded.
Is he only able to play games with protags that look exactly like him? Bc if "immersion" is his excuse then I imagine he couldn't play anything but games with character creation
