Though I must admit, I did meet this badass druid on World of Warcraft who out healed me all the time and I’m a god damn priest. She was so awesome, we were buddies to, she made me Major Mana Pots all the time and I bought her a 20g Cenarion Herb Bag. ^___^ She’s one of the reasons I’m playing a druid now.
them are are too fucking retarded to …
Your reasons are stubit and retarded.
I don’t really feel like the need to have viable reasons for my opinion on the female race. If you’re a chick, and play games, good fucking game, otherwise, I really don’t care. Bitches better get in the kitchen and make me some buritos.
Wii is already being focused more on females. Problem solved

Without having reasons you have no opinion. Only for this post i realise what kind of man you going to be in your life.
And no, iam not a girl

Cartman: I would never let a woman kick my ass. If she tried something, I’d be like, HEY! You get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie!

Sarah hit the nail on the head. The vast mojority of female gamers tend to restrict themselves to a limited library of games, or a specific genre. If figures out there stipulate that 30% of gamers are women I wouldn’t be surprised.
Now im confused. Were you joking?:-$
i got some manly things to do. :p
I think women don’t play video games because they are offended by the women in the game, this is just from my expirence. There offended because most are half naked. There aren’t alot of games made for women, most for men and men like naked women.
and ROKI, joking about what?
This may be true, but this applies to both genders. I have a friend who likes video games, (who is man) and he doesn’t play them as much anymore because he is afraid he will be unpopular and called a "geek" or "nerd."
I have another friend (who is woman) that faces the same problem. Failure to commit to a game goes beyond females, it is mainly based on priority and personality.
and ROKI, joking about what?
About your "opinion on the female race"
hahaha
Thank you thank you. /bow
About your "opinion on the female race"
I’m serious. If they don’t understand basic video game lingo and can’t hold a general conversation they’re useless to me and better get in the kitchen and make me buritos.
mmmmmmmm. buritos.
It is a shame that some bimbo girls think that it’s ‘nerdy’ or ‘boyish’ to play video games, but what can I say? They are too interested in knowing who hooked up with who at the party on the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, some girls are like that and like to be a gamer, but it’s very rare. =/
I personally like all of the FF games, plus some Tekken games (please don’t hurt me) and other stuff, but I like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games too.
And I sure as hell am not going to be making any male buritos.~ …but maybe for myself instead.

It really sound very differend in my ears. Like someone who beilives that the opposite sex is "lower-class". Sorry for attacking you
BuRRitos!!
Why Ms. Croft what bulging… intellect you have. Come on, game industries are like mass-media in general, sex sells and they know it. Yuna was a refreshing change; she’s about the only female lead that had depth and it was a step in the right direction.
More Yuna’s please…
x2
I never really asked about guys’ preferences to character gender but I must say, personally, I dislike playing male characters. All my Warcraft characters are female, I’d take Ada over Leon anyday, I dunno, I guess it really depends. Another reason I think X-2 is one of the best.
Same here. I like to play games where the princess doesnt need rescuing becase she’s holding her own.
Anyway, I play Halo 2 online and at LAN parties…. badly I suppose, but there’s a real thrill and sense of pride when I hear " F*%&! that Miri Tekker sniped me again" or " GET TEKKER! " DOA is about T&A mostly. Sex sells, its a fact. and Lara Croft was female because the designers wanted to look at a girls butt for the whole game.
And yes, I’m a female gamer. I play Halo 2 ( weapon of choice: warthog or anything with a zoom) , Tomb Raider, Doom 3, RE4, gran turismo, need for speed (I like the customizing options more than the racing)
and my favorite games are the Soul calibur games because I’ve had a character banned from every version so far, even beating 6 boys in winner stays on for 14 matches. All are female btw, my favorite being Talim. the only reason Someone took my place was because I got bored. Oh and I played with my back to the screen against one of them because he had the nerve to say he ruled with Nightmare. He lost… not just the game but his respect from his buddies…. boys really hate to lose to a girl, lol.
Hey! That was me!
…
Actually, it wasn’t. Something in my bored mind (damn Steelers/Dolphins game) thought that would actually be funny.
I have a pretty strong distaste for girls who associate themselves as "GIRL GAMERS" as if this is some sort of phenomenon on par with fighting for women’s rights.
Separating yourself as a "female" gamer is lame. Bragging about beating guys is even more lame, imo. If girls want to be treated as equals and not as oddballs out in the video game world, don’t flaunt the fact that you’re a hArDcOrE gUrL GaMeR and don’t act like beating a guy is some exceptional feat. It should be no different than a guy beating another guy, or a girl beating another girl.
I imagine that sounds pretty aggressive towards Keaira, and I really don’t mean it to sound so, just sparked me to post about something that has always been irritating to me.
Of course, I do think there should be more female leads and maybe even more female-targeted games besides… Nintendogs and stuff. I do tend to prefer female characters (especially in games where I can create my own), and female leads are always fun as well. Hell, Valkyrie Profile is one of my favorite games. SO2 gives you the option of playing a male or female lead (and that is my favorite game).
I don’t think gun-toting, strong, "I-don’t-need-no-man-to-rescue-me" characters are bad, necessarily, but its sort of a "Mary Sue" thing. Defenseless princesses aren’t any better, but going so against the grain doesn’t really make it any less of a stock, generic character in a video game. in the FF series, for example, a good chunk of people seem to dislike Tidus/Vaan characters because they are "wimpy" or more sensitive. They prefer Squall/Cloud because those characters have a "darker" or more stoic personality. If you can call it personality. Its still a basic, stock, generic attribute given to a lot of (j)RPG main characters.
Reason I like Valkyrie Profile so much? Lenneth is a strong warrior, but has a softer side, and isn’t all powerful. She has flaws, she is deceived and lied to, and she falls in love without compromising who she is.
The reason why I dislike Yuna from X-2. Granted, I haven’t played the entire game, but it seemed like they took her from the sensitive, quiet, soft, "princess-y" type character and completely 180’d her into a gun wielding, hot-pants wearing, ass-kicking, GURL POWAH character. I didn’t think either character was particularly strong or convincing.
Buuut, I guess you aren’t going to find the best personalities in video game characters, and most of the second part of this rant relates better to stories, rather than games themselves.

You do bring up some points I agree with. I liked Yuna in FFX because she was quiet, had strong beliefs in her duties yet also had that reluctant hero quality. The other girls in the 1st game were the butt-kicking type and she just seemed like she was along for the ride.
I dont brag about beating boys and I just consider myself a casual gamer usually I do 3D artwork in Lightwave or write stories. I’ve just learned that Boys in general will either go all-out, T-baging, put-her-in-her-place on a girl, or really take it bad if a girl beats them.(in Halo 2 anyway) I’m an equal opportunities player. I’ll do my best to take you out if your the enemy, I dont care if your male, female, both or non of the above. A game’s a game. 😛 I will give respect where it is due too. I’m just happy when I dont suck at something. I get my butt handed to me every time in halo 2. But I keep playing because its just a blast. Like paintball only without the stains and bruises ^_^
LMFAOWROFL!
But I like girl characters that can kick some ass. Aka Paine (ffx-2), Lady (DMC3), of course it helps that they are hawt and stuff. And if a girl can kick the crap out of me in a game…then they should just know that I’m not gonna quit trying to beat them or get pissed because i just lost to a girl. Doesn’t really matter to me whether it is a guy or a girl, but it is pretty rare to see a girl gamer…I mean…I don’t really know many girl gamers. They’d rather go shopping or something.
So yeah, girls do game, but for a majority of them their gaming tastes are on the point of a scale where few males dare to tread.
actually i’d rather marry a girl into anime. either way, ima fantasize of sailor mercury when we fuck
oh i get it…lol. good tip. :p

I get giggles when skimpy tiny girls with high voices in fighter games kick the butts if giganto guys.
I DON’T CARE IF I’M A HORRIBLE PERSON.
giggles I tell you.
(I DONT PLAY A LOT OF FIGHTING GAMES SO I CANT THINK OF ANY EASILY RECOGNIZABLE MOVES THAT WOULD CAUSE LOLS)
ps chun li
Though I remember a girl writing in to a mag saying that store clerks made fun of her because she bought PS2 mags.
As long as you like to game, it’s ok isn’t it? It all depends on your personal taste anyway. There are guys playing nintendogs and there are girls playing counterstrike or whatever, why not? I’m not too much into games considered ‘girlish’ myself (in case you haven’t guessed, I’m female =) )
Just what every girl wants to hear. An invitation you can’t refuse.
But…I’m off topic, I guess. I think a gamer is a gamer. Some girls are more dedicated to gaming than others. Some are casual. Some are just strange – there’s this good Christie player (Tekken) at my college who always leaves in a huff when I beat her. And she always calls me a "bully". I thought we were just playing a game, here. Now whenever I play her she gives me this nasty look. I think I’ll stick playing Street Fighter with the Asians; I won’t have to deal with her anymore.
And let me tell you…she plays a mean game of Halo. I don’t really care who plays video games, but I find it refreshing to see girls play games and kicking some serious ass. It’s amusing too because males have their pride of thinking they are better than females in video games just to be proven wrong. I don’t really look at gender against whoever I’m playing. I simply play to win and give it my all. If I loose, I’ll tip my hat to them (only if it was a game that even I know that I’m seriously good in) no matter the gender.
Let her win, then tap that.
