Female game characters - stereotyping - Page 5 - EvBoard

The character Ken (female) from Zone of the Enders 2, is seriously equipped (you know what I mean) but at the same time, she is a totally kick ass character.

Well, i'll put it this way: The elly girl who hits with hearts and rods ends up being a villain and hero. The 2nd main character.

Rose kicked arse, she was my favourite character. Meru totally undid everything that Rose did right though. Meru kinda cancelled Rose out, Rose was the kick-arse bitch in black, Meru was a cheap slapper.

EDIT:
Having said that, Miranda was a good character too, so I guess she makes up for what Meru messed up. So I guess Meru = bad, Miranda = good, thus break even, Rose = good, so we're into good again.

Yeah Rose rocked

Glad you liked that game aswell because I loved it. Why don't you try ebay? You could probably get it cheap on there

LoD was so cool... Rose was a really rad character...the way they morphed was so so cool, although the whole moon thing was a tad freakish....

it was also kinda weird how similar Dart's hair was to Cloud's funky 'do....

"Tidus looks like Meg Ryan. I used to think he was a female lead. I was like... 'Wait! She's kissing that chick! The lead character is a lesbian!'" -my friend Paul

Too genius to not post.

It's only degrading because those same women always happen to fall down and expose a bare breast and/or their underwear at some point or another in every movie.

I swear, if the makers of Lineage II had spent as much time on gameplay as they did rendering panties and boobies, it might possibly have been a borderline decent game.

Well said Feyith

In the ways of technology the Japanese culture might be more advanced than ours, but I think they are about 100 years behind in their attitudes towards women. The mangas, hentai and computer games all reflect this. They are definitely due for a Women's Liberation movement. There also seems to be a lack of personal pride in their own heritage, as witnessed by the anglofication of most of their characters as seen in cartoons and video games. I believe the Elvis Cult is still going strong there as well, LOL

And another video game girl that can really kick butt- she also doesnt turn down help or anything- in fact, she is mentored thru the first level.

Blood Rayne:

I dont mean to flood with pics, but Bloodrayne is #2 among my favorite vampires- Kate in Underworld is #1.

Those are old games and they're still classic. I don't think it's a huge deal, I mean stereotyping is everywhere... it's not a good thing, but I don't think it matters for two of the best games of all time

Lara Croft kicks butt! And don't forget Chun-Li, Morrigan, Felicia, Jill Valentine, and countless others. They make up for the stereotypes. ^_^

EDIT: What annoys me is "boob physics" heh

They should spend more time on more important things, really.

Oh yeah, and Chun Li! In the animated STreet Fighter, she was awesome! Isnt she really a reporter or something? I forgot. Lightning Kicks rule.
