I guess 'no choice at all evers' is technical better than 'choice of dudes, or GTFO'.

And being a movie series spinoff, bit of a bye on that one?

Also, there are female characters!

Ehrmagerd. Mad Max is an absolute tonne of fun!

Just got the amusingly named 'Thunderpoon' upgrade. Much laffs was had tear arseing around knacking all and sundry.

Though highlight of vehicle combat remains harpooning a driver out their vehicle, via the windscreen....

Decided to play a spreadsheet'em up last night. Got football manager '09 for a couple of quid. May or may not have created a manager based on the best character from a cartoon.
First press conference press asked questions about how as a "female" manager I'd cope with breaking into football management. Didn't seem that bothered about how being a tiny horse would affect my performance though. Interesting to consider that the option was there and they programmed expected press responses. Wonder if the press will start doing scandal pieces if I'm ****?

That would be the ideal solution yes. The whole 'the story is crafted around the individual character and it just took us towards a male story' is such a trite excuse, as Saints Row illustrates nicely. Writing a story involving a wife? Gay. Kids? Adopted. No excuse.

Or, if they're going to insist on a spouse, give the option of spouse gender, so people can choose their character's gender and sexual orientation.

Saints Row definitely shot down those silly arguments, but people don't like Saints Row because it decided to have fun rather than just be another crime simulator. Meh to those killjoys!
