That's only a way of enjoying games, any kind of games. Of course, you can see it like a movie. Again, for that, it´s better just a third person view. But it´s better if you have a MC that you can relate with. Not someone like you: someone that you like.I don't identify myself with any game characters of any sort. If you can only enjoy games that allow you to identify as the main character, you are really limiting yourself. If you think of yourself as an ooutside observer seeing the world through the lens of the main character, you can enjoy games with MCs who are female, or alien, or criminal, and not feel bad about yourself. That works with books and movies, too.
For example: right now, I´m playing Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition. I´m a man but I´m playing with female Shepard. I don´t identify myself with a woman or a hero that saves the galaxy. But I get fond of that female Shepard, the way she talks, looks and behave, and I enjoy the game more than if the MC were another character that I don´t like.
That´s the problem with this game: I don't get fond of a woman eager to corrupt herself and fuck with a monster. Every time I see "You lick the goblin cock", I think "I don´t lick a goblin's cock, is this slut that one that is doing that". In this case, yes, I would prefer to see it like a porn movie, but playing as that woman makes it more difficult. So I would prefer to see this game as a narration in which I´m not the MC.
