Discussion about characters' popularity

And what's the problem of playing as girls?
Can't you stand that some of them can kick your ass better than men?

How can a fictional video game character kick a person's ass? Unless you meant female game characters kick ass in game as much as males. I'm a girl gamer...I love my ladies...but that doesnt mean I need a sexy female shoehorned into every single game I play. Personally...I think Alyx Vance of Half Life is far better than 98% of all the RE girls. She isn't hot or sexy...but she's strong, better written, and has some intelligence...and relevance. Then again....I may go as far as to say Half Life > Resident Evil....

A girl playing Resident Evil?
Rare....Very rare....

Of course I'm talking about fictional girls XD
Half-Life is good, but it's too much cliché.

I played with Jill because her of interactivity with Barry and Wesker, Chris is more or less on his own apart from when you bump into Rebecca, Barry is one of favs too.

That's exactly why I prefer Jill's story in the first game, too; Chris's was a bit boring in comparison.

Leon and Claire's stories are a bit more balanced in RE2, although I prefer Claire's because of the Irons subplot (although babysitting Sherry was a pain). Plus, it was cool to play as someone who wasn't a cop, as it made the character feel a bit more vulnerable.

Chris' adventure in the original is underrated. It's more challenging than Jill's and he also got this "I-don't-give-a-damn" attitude that is very funny.

Chris Redfield. He's a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. Plus, he fought the T-1000 way back in '91.

RE was my first RE game, and I - being a guy - naturally wanted to play as the male character. (To this day I still don't understand why a guy would want to play as a female character unless there is no choice, like in RE4 - zing!) Since then, I've always been partial to the masculinity (no homo) of Chris, even when he looked like a Korean pop star in the RECV cut scenes.

Body check, one, two! And another! Eat it! This thread is finished!

I am going to accept your Redfield as a gambit and raise you a Nicholai.

The man can survive explosions and run through Raccoon City armed only with a knife.
