Anyway, women in games are pathetic characters, as a whole. The sad geeky developers always try to give us their perfect woman, their little fantasy girl, and it just makes them look stupid. The Tomb Raider games were quite fun, but Lara Croft was a rubbish character. I can't believe that some people have posters of her in sexy poses on their bedroom walls. she even gets Valentine's cards. That's crazy!
Image if all blokey characters in games were Mr Adonis. How long would it be before we started posting about how stupid it was?
Women in games are ridiculous things.
> Women in games are ridiculous things.
Theres a few games with fat/ugly women in NOLF and Wolfenstein come to mind...
Pretty much all 'modern' RPGs have strong female characters (torment especially, but pretty much all)...
Comedy adventure titles generally involve strong female characters
Its Pretty much the same quotent as is on TV?
Although, with TV especially Ive noticed that although theres the odd call for 'normal' people to be on TV, and how they are tired of beautiful people on the screen all the time, whenever 'normal' people are stuck on the screen, they are the first to be the butt of jokes, which people dont complain aboust because 'they watch TV for escapism'...
I think its easier to blame video games because the the related stigma...
After all, would you be more likely to buy a magazine with 'Dot Cotten' wearing a transparent bikini and spreading herself aross the cover and centre spread?
