The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I know you may be reading this out of pure boredem but there are things that have to be said on behalf of all the females that enjoy games out there.
I think that girls should be given a chance at anything they choose to try their hands on, and that includes games. Just because we're built
differently to boys dosen't mean we can't do anything they do like play resident evil. I suppose all the boys think "yeah yeah five minuites into the game she'll run of screaming." well truth be told so would most boys.
While i was on the bus this morning i was reading a nintendo magazine and a boy came up to me and said "Thats not something you see every day" referring to me reading what he thinks is "only" for boys. This type of thing is blatently unfair and i think it should be stopped. I know this may be sterotypical of me saying this but most boys think girls are crap at everything but i could beat most of you at a game eg banjo-tooie, super smash bros melee.
So i have a few things to say to all the sexist boys who think girls are crap at games (1)drop the sterotypical attitude towards girls thinking that they all wear make-up and suck at sports and games, (2)Give us a chance we may surprise you.

Well I'm a girl and I play Resident Evil, in fact I play every game, unless it's a game I don't like. Admittidly I only really play Resident Evil when my brother's around, but he only plays when I'm around ^_^;
I don't play sports games though, becuase I hate them, but so does my brother.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Don't listen if people tell you that you don't have any right to play games. If you enjoy it do it. No one will stop you

No one is stopping anyone, it's a free country, all humans have a right to play video games not just boys. Except those who wish not to and like music instead.

yes but you wrote "so would most boys" thereby insinuating (bu the so) that you would.
I don't mean to be harsh. I actually welcome more girls to the forum and definitly more girls into gaming. I just disagreed with your opinions.
>She's 15 and she's my mate. Leave her alone, she's saying that she is >being stereotyped by some boys, not all. She's rock 'ard aswell. She can >have me :(
So what just because I state my opinions I'm being hard on her. hey if she can't cope with a little disagreement she shouldn't make inflammatory comments.
How come your mates should get special treatment? Mates of mine have been scared off as newbies because of remarks from some of the regulars on here
>now i dunno half of these ppl are except rosalind.... argh
Huh you know me, wierd.
>don't be so hard on her Rosalind :)
>God, you lot are being a bit harsh.
as before I'm just stating my opinins
If you are going to post here then you need to see everyones opinons
sorry for any offence cause it wasn't meant and I used to feel the same way, but I was put right by some of the regulars here when I was a n00b, but I do think you will find that (most) people here will accept you no matter what your Gender
