Forums - Gaming - So many PS4 games have female leads

Metroid33slayer on 28 February 2017

So? The only thing that really matters is wether a game is good or bad. I couldn't care less about the genetalia of the main character.

I am not even assuming I am stating an android being a machine to not have a a gender. Even though IT has a female appearance and many of the fine qualities of a female body pocceses. 

Maybe you should ask the person how he/she/it/hir/ze/sie/co/ey feels about this before assuming he/she/it/hir/ze/sie/co/ey identifies as genderless.

 

Alright I have asked the main character of Nier Automata while trying not to stare at its ass. It said it didn't have a gender because it was a machine fed by logic instead of emotion. Neither did it understand the words ze, co and ey and tought I was a German when adressing it as Sie.

 

There is one fault in your logic here a machine isn't a person.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Most those games are coming out, not out. Seems a lackluster amount to me but the the best female performances in games I've played are ones where the character is customisable.



Hmm, pie.

There you go assuming again. Let things decide if they identify as a person or not. Stop trying to mansplain everything.

All games I will sadly have to pass on buying. Nothing against their vision, I just do not enjoy playing as a female.

Five of those seven games are made by Sony, the other two are Japanese third party titles. Doesn't look like anything has changed because the whole "publishers don't fund games with female leads" thing was about Western third parties and their market research. And as long as games with female leads don't light up the sales charts (most of those seven games in the OP don't stand a chance), that isn't going to change.

You should make a now gen Kim Possible game.  PS4 exclusive.

-Gravity Rush

-Horizon (Amazon nr1 best seller in US, UK, FR, DE etc)

-Nier Automata

-Tales of Berseria

-Detroit

-Uncharted Lost Legacy

-TLOU II

Seems a far cry from last gen when it was sort of tabboo by marketing people to feature a girl character prominently on the cover because it would sell less. Was Naughty Dog that broke the trend by refusing to hide away Ellie on the cover of TLOU?

uh, what. PS3 had Valkyria Chronicles, Bayonetta, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Mirror's Edge, Final Fantasy XIII, Remember Me, Beyond Two Souls, Lolipop Chainsaw, Tales of Xillia.

PS has a lot of Japanese games, and Japanese developers tend to have more female main characters than their western counterparts.

And let's add this from both last and this gen:

Who the fuck cares? I don't care if the character has a dick or a vagina, if they're an interesting character and the game is great what does the gender matter?

needs more, still racist and misogynist
