Women/Girls as main chars in games

Post by DaC-Sniper »

Current games, which come to my mind:
Wet (The game title is so obscene yuik yuik)
Sabotage (Killing ze bad nazis alone by the hand of a women D: )
Heavenly Sword (Some redhead fighting against da evil with the "i kick mens ass" look.)
Jean D`ark

Games, which women like:
The Sims 1/2 (better than watching their favorite docu soap, fo sure)

Dungeon Siege II Cover
Dungeon Siege I Cover

Consoles for girls:
Nintendo Wii :giggle:
Nintendo DS

They are small, handy and cute and also come in pink versions, ya know, how it goes, and well designed, kinda like their small handbag they always wear around, ya know what i`m saying.

Also women in games tend to be :big-ass-titties:

Perfect Dark had a female heroin. I don't really like playing a female but they seem to be following the hollywood example of having women in the lead of action movies because of sexiness or just to try and freshen the action movie up.

First those gamechar women were mostly used to do magic only and be only playable in adventure games and stuff, now they got Katanas and guns and shit.

But if there is anything, which is more fake, is gaming women journalists. Assasin`s Creed also has a very femine touch, if ya asked me.

well, maybe because the developer is a women.

Mercenaries gave you the option to play as a British chick, but no one chose her because you had the option to be a crazy Norwegian with a mohawk that always sounded like he was mumbling.

Resident Evil 3 made you play as Jill and get fucked up by Nemesis.

Wild Arms 3 main character was a female.

Parasite Eve made you play as Ada Wong. God I'm glad they never fell thru with that movie, I'd hate watching Madonna try to act.

Harvest Moon is a game for girls, I mean, its a farming simulator.

Girls do not belong in any avenue of gaming. I can't believe grown men created Lara Croft. Grow the fuck up. If I want sex appeal I will watch porn. Women are just biologically not constructed for ass kicking. Female game journalists and developers are simply there because they have vaginas. Tingel Tangel is the only exception I can think of right now. I mean, she posts on DaC for fuck's sake.

Women tend to like games like the Sims and adventure games like Syberia, Keepsake, Nancy Drew, and The Longest Journey, since they focus on intellect, puzzle solving and the idea that you need to think before you act.

In an attempt to sell more RPGs to women, developers and publishers now realize the need for more depth, more story, more knowledge that can be learned about the characters in the game and more intellectual challenges like dialogues that affects the game, both in the short run as well as in
the long run.

Actually, Lara Craft was not created by grown men. She were created by two boys who, I think, 10 years or so, still were in their early twenties or so.

Omg, you read my diary?

I briefly played Sims 2, being a woman and all, but only found it interesting because I could create a perfect family and fuck it up by making people cheat on each other and stuff. It lasted for a couple of weeks, and now the cd's are just collecting dust on the shelf. I should give them back to my friend. She misses them. But I think I'll wait until she fucking gives me back my Planescape and my NVN.

I always play a girl in FO1 and FO2 and always try to bang the daughter of one of the casino lords in New Reno. I always found it annoyting that the bitch in the lab in Vault City isn't a lesbo too - fucking cunt, always goes "I don't think that would be a good idea". If I was a guy, she'd be choking on my dick before I walked into the room.

I do agree with Dogmeat - women in games are often created too unrealisticly, but it doesn't really get to me. I'm not all that feministic and wont go "omg, like, if she had that size boobs and waist in real life, she'd snap like a twig!", though I do find it sad that some men in WoW come up to my char and go "lol, omg, you have a great rack" just because they created the female human with huge breasts and made a great effort to make them bounce when she breathes and then didn't take the time to make any of her other animations look good.

As for the boys I've made cry, I briefly remember 46&2 crying once, when I kneed him in the groin and also when we broke up. And then there was the guy which was hit in the groin when I let a baseball bat fly. Other than that, not so many, actually. Unless you're interested in all the queasy "I just love you so much it hurts" stories...

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

DOUBLE EDIT:
Longest Journey sucked ass.

TRIPPLE EDIT:
Typos.

Also: I think the wii looks pathetic and annoying and boring.
