How feminists effect gaming

Indeed, one of my female friends even wrote her dissertation on Assassins Creed. I'll go and tell her she should be playing Candy Crush instead.

Not evil, just girl power mad.

The irony is is that there will be girls/women gamers who are annoyed with the gibberish this political correctness is creating.

What gibberish? Despite the constant moaning in this thread, how exactly are the SJW/Feminist Alliance ruining games? Is it those pesky full-rounded, interesting female leads characters like Ellie in Last of Us, or the Tomb Raider reboot? Or is that you think the fighting in Mortal Kombat won't work if Mileena puts a top on?

No one said they 'should' be doing anything. :confused:

I welcome more female gamers in fact; it doesn't bother me and why should it? However, the 52% statistic is just rubbish though. Why should my mum who's played Bejeweled a few times on her phone be put into the same category as me who owns a PS4 and Xbox One? Mobile games should be put into a completely separate category altogether.

Indeed, regardless of who plays them, mainly because most of them are crap timewasters rather than what I'd consider real games.

It doesn't work - I tried that secret Fully Clothed hack-mod and all the characters just stood around, leaning up against the wall and looking bored.

And why should you be in the same category as me who owns a PC? Every sect of gamers looks down on another sect. We're all just gamers. Doesn't matter if you play candy crush, fifa or the hardcore flight simulators. Anyone that calls someone not a 'real gamer' needs to grow the **** up and get off their high horse.

Tosh. 7 females are gamers in my family. 6 year old niece through to my 67 year old mother. Ma's favourites include Tomb raider, Assassin's creed series, anything Zelda oh and Mass Effect series.

They just don't play online and have to deal with idiots.

Bit like me then. No online gaming due to it being chocka with kids off their meds and incessant attention whores. The times I did play online I'd mute everyone right away and turn chat off.

But yes, can understand why women don't want to bother with online gaming. Or most guys as well for that matter .

Ironic that you choose to live in the past by ignoring the existence of mobile gaming.

mobile gaming is the reality TV of the gaming world. Crap disposable rubbish with no serious intent or creativity. I certainly don't consider it real gaming in the least no matter how you spin it.
 
I used to think a bit like that, but the lines are blurred these days and there are plenty of excellent mobile games out there like the GO series from Square Enix and The Room 1-3.
 
Yep, you cant ignore mobile games anymore when you have full 3D console quality games running on ridiculously powerful phones and tablets.

Don't ignore mobile gaming because of the "free to play" stuff because you find the same on consoles now, especially Steam and look how popular Steam is now compared to anything else.
