Valkyria Chronicles had a female protagonist

Why is that a negative? Regardless, the character you were supposed to identify as was the male tank commanding biology nerd.

 

[Zombra]

Haha, oh god, not again.

I saw the anime (around half of it anyway, it got very annoying with all the bishounen gathering around her), the story is definitely from her PoV, not his.
As for why is that a negative. I cant get invested on a womans problems, the reason i play rpgs is because power trips through the eyes of the lead. when the lead has tits and a vagina i just cant give a fuck, so its more of a subjective thing. But so far its worked as a nice filter.

Making an effort to overcome your limitations is a crucial step towards self-improvement.

 

[CryptRat]

Yes, just play Koudelka.

The anime clearly took creative liberties.

I dont really see it as a limitation, just a quirk. We all have them.

 

[Zombra]

Trust me, don't dig deeper here, it gets much worse.

 

[Viata]

No, keep pressing, it's fun.

More from the Watch thread:

And like myself a lot of people prefer long games.
Some prefer them dull, some grindfest, some both of that, some prefer them not anything like that… As long as it's as long as possible.
Does it mean we shouldn't ask why is a roguelike on #3 spot of a list?

Roguelike is not challenging.
Roguelike is a slot machine and you're praying rng will produce next trashmobs as 777 you win.

Yes, I haven't played DA:I, but I've played Dragon Age 2, which is generally considered worse, and I've played Neoscavenger, so I can make assumptions about which game I'd enjoy more, and I know which game has more content and more story. I must admit that I'm surprised that 80 people gave Neo Scavenger 5 stars. I still can't believe that most players would consider it a better rpg than most of the other games on the list (if we take out DA:I). I think its because a lot of people wouldn't even bother with it. I'd be curious if you gave free keys to all those people and made them play it how that would shift the percentages.

Thanks to rare felipepepe meme, we got more salty posts there.

You missed the weirdest part:

I finished MMX two times, finished Lord of Xulima, and Wasteland 2, and found them all to be great games, where Neoscavenger for me is repetitive and mediocre.

Its not really that, not specifically about gender. It comes down to me being able to identify with the character on some level. Its the reason i mostly play RPGs, and the reason i love character creation and indepth character systems.
I have a great imagination and can see myself in the shoes of the hero, a large part of my enjoyment of games in general comes from there.

Womyn, people with teh gays, attack helicopters, but also monsters, strange robots, deformed aliens. insects. I just cant bring myself to care for being in those shoes and seeing the world as those kinda character see it. Mostly as the result of having so much fun with characters i can identify with on some level that anything else simply isnt as entertaining. Its why im a big proponent of character customization and stories told from the point of the protagonist. Its why i can enjoy a game like CBH for long periods of time even if the game itself is little more than a simple database.

 

[Viata]

CBH would be?

Even if i didnt, what would be the point?

 

[Lhynn]

RPGCODEX GOTY awards: the gift that keeps on giving!

 

[an Administrator]

I always make a female character.
Girls don't play RPG's. That option is made for us!

 

[vonAchdorf]

Would Iranian made games have to comply with dress codes?

 

[an Administrator]

Would Iranian made games have to comply with dress codes?

Yes. otherwise they can't publish their games.
But there are not so many female characters in their games.

 

[mindx2]

Why is there a mouse floating by that guys feet....?

 

[an Administrator]

That's the in-game cursor

 

[Viata]

The in-game cursor is a fucking mouse?
