Women will rather play games like these.

It is always shocking when a seemingly normal person turns out to be the one that write bullshit like you did.

while men usually don't have a problem playing female characters

You did it again, twice in single post.

I guess we met and talked to different women then. I seen it in many places where women have problems playing forced male characters.

Meanwhile a couple of MEN played our game at EGX. If you start typing in their website, sometimes it would autofill as "rpgcodex.net" instead:

So there's an audio recording and you can hear a bit about their thoughts on No Truce ("Oh, such a stupid name!") beginning at... 32:50:00? Around there.

The only RPGs girls like are very social centric ones, like sims.

The Sims isn't really an RPG, and I've heard of plenty of women who like mainstream AAA RPGs such as Skyrim online. It's just that women aren't often immersed into gaming culture enough to have more specialist tastes.

The last RPGs I played with my GF were D:OS 1 and all parts of Borderlands (seriously, though, they are probably the best co-op games out there for shortish 1-2h sessions).
When she can play a female character, she will. When she can't, but she's still interested in the game, she'll play a male one, too.

I think it's just natural to prefer you own gender in a game, while it is retarded to not play a game just because the main protagonist is not your own gender.
Of course, not wanting to play a game because the protagonist is a total jerk is quite understandable, too.

Women just say that to gain/maintain popularity; and besides, it's skyrim online, it's got social stuff in it.

Hey, playing dress-up in Skyrim, then showing it off to NPCs talking about mudcrabs made even me squirt estrogen from my tear ducts.

I edited to mean the online part.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

cyberpunk 2077 will come out before this

I don't think there is much evidence to know one way or the other.

It will be a big AAAAAA game with a $Trillion potato budget, therefor popamole.

Filthy savages.

 

[Jenkem]

the name is dangerously close to "furries" imo that upon first glance it is a natural reaction to mistake it for 'no truce for the furries' so yes the name is stupid because fuck furries (i realize the title of no truce for the furries would be an anti-furry slogan perhaps and that is fine but still I don't want to be reminded in the slightest about their filth)

 

[Prime Junta]

Thank you. This thread has gone far too long without mention of furries.

 

[PlanHex]

Don't worry, we're still at an average of 1+ mentions of "furries" per page. 1.5 if you count "furry" too.

 

[Jenkem]

the furry furries faltered and failed
but could not let their friend be jailed
no truce for the furries, no trust availed

in the end they lied, dead and forgotten
their furry deeds completely rotten
and in the end the furries wailed
'we can not let our friend be jailed'

 

[Neanderthal]

Always enthralled by story o Chronos an his torment by Furies for his patricide when I were a lad, can't see how a bunch o video game bloggers at RPS have got balls to criticise classics, or a name thats interesting for once.

I prefer female characters in games. What does this mean when looking in the crystal ball?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I quite literally ignored this thread for months because I thought it was some furry shit. It was only after your article when I realized what the name is.

You are lonely and will do anything to see some tits.
Or you actually want to be a woman. But fret not, there are operations.

Well, or you ARE a woman, but considering this place, this is the least likely option.

 

[passerby]

I wonder whether majority of people misreading furries in the title, will help or damage sales ?

 

[Prime Junta]

Speaking of names, I just ran across an accounting company named FaktaCount.

Too bad it's not on Pen Island.

There have been heavy discussions here at the studio on whether the protagonist should be this super stylized creep or maybe closer to a more relatable everyman that could maybeee even be viewed as sort of attractive. We´re rolling dice with our fingers firmly crossed and lips bitten and bleeding.

The "relatable, attractive everyman" always alienates me. Please give the protagonist glaring faults, darkness, and things that make me not necessarily relate to him but want to learn more.

"Super stylized" may be too far, of course; ultra cartoony will make me not take him seriously, and I want to take him seriously. The best characters have strong tendencies but aren't always predictable. E.g.: a story about a guy who always fucks up his job can be OK, but what about a guy who is great at his job every day but then one day he fucks up bad? Maybe a guy can't deal with his aggressive boss but deals with his aggressive wife just fine. And so forth. All-or-nothing characters are weak writing next to those with variation and texture. Don't "stylize" him so much he becomes 2D.

But definitely don't make him so bland and "relatable" that I don't fucking care any more.

I don't think anyone has really done it outside the Codex.
