Women/Girls as main chars in games

[Blargh]

Cate Archer, you motherfucking proles.

[Wolfman Walt]

EDIT:
My boyfriend played the British chick in mercenaries...

Lies, Megatron would never do that.

[Tingel Tangel]

While my true desire and my heart's longing all go towards the knight of valor known as Megatron, I do need to fulfill my daily needs both physically, emotionally, intellectually and mentally in his glorious lack of presence - I do so with a man with the man I call my boyfriend, for he is a boy who is my friend and more than that.

Time to Weigh In:

Wife hated Syberia - "boring" as hell I believe were the exact words.

Wii - a system for pussies who think they're working out.

Tingel Tangel - it's a woman!? Now I know.

Diablo 2 - Why is the assassin, my favorite character, a woman? D3 better have gender selection.

Max Payne 2 - I just bought it. Now you went and ruined it.

Lara Croft - Playboy had an "animated" edition a year or two ago. I agree w/ Dogmeat - If you need boobs that bad, watch porn. Games are for fun. Then again, so is porn. You know what I mean.

[Dreadnought]

FF7 - Cloud Strife.

[DaC-Sniper]

you forgot max payne 2

Playing the woman had some motivation, though, if you finished her part you could switch back to Max Payne, da man , but the love story was kinda useless, plus the woman levels sucked, aw the more i talk about it, the more i blame it to be sucky. Her storypart wasn`t that important, he should be more gangsta and treat her like a hoe, much chit chat. I think turning Max into a paranoic drug addict, who gets hunt by the police and the mafia at the same time is far better.

The physic engine in that game was also useless shit.

[Tingel Tangel]

Tingel Tangel - it's a woman!? Now I know.

Not paying attention much except for to your own rants and rumbles?

[PiP]

I bet TingelTangel has made more boys cry than the male population on DAC collectively.

you're totally forgetting Ryno.

she'd be choking on my dick before I walked into the room.

behave! [/Austin Powers voice]

[spokomptonjdub]

You can be a bitch in WoW...

And also, one of the first games with a female protagonist that nobody has mentioned... Metroid.

[MadBill]

No One Lives Forever and 2
I think this was the game with the suitcase gun?

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Has there ever been a flat-chested female main character in a video-game? Or do 44Ds just totally lend themselves to kicking ass?

[Smiley]

Cate Archer, you motherfucking proles.

For once you made sense.
The original NOLF was made of pure golden win.

[DaC-Sniper]

Cate Archer is classy. Whole different league.

[Dreadnought]

Sonya Blade.

Did someone say flat?

um...yes, actually.

[Matt_Helm]

You can play as a female in DX IW.

[TNP]

Kinda distracting playing females as main characters in the third person since I just stare at their asses in sexual lust. Especially girls like Natasha Henstridge in 'Species'. hot hot hot.

Consoles for girls:
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo DS

I'm going to add my own comment on this situation.

Firstly, I'm going to start with the DS. DS vs. PSP is like Game Boy vs. Game Gear. We all know that the PSP has superior power. So why would you buy a DS? Simple. The DS has a much superior battery time over the PSP, just as the Game Boy had a much superior battery time over the Game Gear. Also, the DS has more of a collection of games which it is comfortable to play on the move - home console titles can be very difficult to play on a bus or train, or even when you're walking.

Secondly, about the Wii. The platform for men with cojones is the PC. If you deny that, I'm going to consider you a traitor to computer gaming in general. (Sony don't allow AO-rated titles on their consoles either; Nintendo is not alone in this.) I'm a person who thinks that console gaming and PC gaming should be kept mostly separate, with a few FPS crossovers, perhaps. The Wii succeeds in this, having a mostly different title list than the PS3 and Xbox 360. However, the other two consoles are encroaching on the PC's territory in disturbing ways.

Take a look at Command and Conquer 3, a title that should, by virtue of its genre, have been released on PC only. However, because it's deemed necessary to squeeze every penny out of a title these days, it's shipped off to the consoles - and it's likely that development was done with them solely in mind.

Look as well at BioShock, a game which before the mainstream console gamer would have been a PC game only. Now, "oh, look at me! I'm playing on a console and I need a quest arrow because I haven't a clue where to go next!" You never would have had THAT in System Shock 2. That was a game for real gamers.

Finally, look at the Fallout series. I think you get the picture on that, at least.

In conclusion, the Wii may be considered a girls' console by its detractors, but at least it isn't jeopardising the future of PC gaming, where we should know is where all the real balls are in computer games.

Why there is nearly no ugly female characters in video games? They tryin` to make all of them hot stuff.Not a reflection of a human female being but as sexual objects of the games.Nearly all of the games I have ever seen females got minor roles and major boobs...at least guaranteed major boobs

For the 'got minor roles' part ,except Tomb Raider clones of course
