I found this video:

Video Games and the Female Audiance

and I thought it was really interesting. I was wondering what you guys thought of it. smile

Ha i found this true and very interesting.
I've told guys about more games and more girls just go. "Do you wanna go to a party?" to which i usually reply no I have a boss/raid/tournament/cartoon marathon giving me the 'no life' label.
- My only thing was i never was put off by having the chicks the way they were. its fantasy characters i thought they were supposed to be that way. ( minus games like silent hill 2 where you should feel vulnerable)

-the idea of a broader game market sounds awesome(especially since im into game design) and games like Sonic (old school) and Zelda i always found were universal even family oriented if need be.

-As for taking away the line. I never found it very deep. I know men disturbed by Rule of Rose and girls who love the first Manhunt.

-in short I believe it's a culture issue. Sex sells. So we sell sex. Also colors. Family games are what bright. Most girls play family games or something more colorful. (lets face it those dark or earthy color schemes are everywhere.)
Some chicks also were neglected by gamer boys. Bitterness. ( i dont blame em)

Huh.. That video had valid points bursting out the seams lol
Especially when he was talking about how female characters have been depicted since the original Playstation games arrived.

Me and My husband loved that video i even put a link of it up on facebook.. but whats sad its true i never played playstation till i married my husband and i started out on Computer games by Cake Mania then i was playing my husband's ds and now i cant live without my wow time lol.. and so what if i don't have a 'social life' at least im not out somewhere getting drunk and driving home and killing someone i would rather stay at home and run a raid with my friends then go out and spend cash.. Again i loved that video thanks for the link!
