Female in a VR GAME....lol

I love HL but this is so stupid.

This Game is VR and i dont play myself in this Game? WTF
How am I in a Body of a Female?
This breaks the immersion and i dont get it -_-

I love VR but this is so bad and its sad like my bad English :(

--------------BIG EDIT--------BAD ENGLISH-----------

I love to Play Females in any other Game!
Stop saying that i hate to Play Womens -_-
Only a Problem in VR!!!!!!

MALE in a VR Game is also stupid... any Gender is dumb for the playable Main Character in a VR Game (there are only 2 Genders)

Guys, if you are going to say "I get immersed in books and games where I'm not the MC" shut it, the main problem the OP has (as far as I can tell) is that you are playing a VR game (which puts you in the position of the player which would immerse you as the player) but then you have Alyx talking (which conflicts with the immersion of VR).

Basically, controlling a VR character that isn't talking on your behalf like you have dissociative identity disorder, is okay.

Also don't say "b-but Alyx was in the past games" because that is missing the point on another level.

be gone troll. alyx vance has been the 2nd most pivotal character in the HL universe since you were likely in diapers.

half life fans are thrilled to be playing a game with alyx.

by this logic women should not enjoy most games, because they have male protagonists.

wtf are you talking about.
I dont hate it to play as a Women -_-

THIS IS A VIRTUAL REALITY GAME AND IN THIS VIRTUAL REALITY IM A GIRL?
DO YOU GET IT NOW?

Dont give the main Char a Gender in a VR Game because in a Ego Shooter VR Game you play as yourself

Boi how about all those girls playing as males in other games ? How can they be immersed into the gameplay if they are forced to play as a male ? What if all those girls playing COD MW wanted to be princess but were forced to play as those masculine males ?

VR GAME HELLLOOO VRRRR GAAAMMMEEE?

Nobody Cares if you play a Male or Female in any other Genre.

are you eli vance's daughter? how can you play as yourself, you played as gordon freeman in the other games, and chell in both portal games.

if you want a nameless faceless protagonist, you're in the wrong franchise.

Almost every VR game has you specifically playing as a male. What games are you playing where your role isn't defined somehow?

Obvious troll is obvious.

Also, a bunch of simlar post are suddenly appearing, all with exactly the the same style of short, stupid declarations like that, made just to irritate people.
Are you coordinating with a few other people, or did you create multiple account accounts ?

He has a whole bunch of the same posts. It's probably just him going bonkers.
