Yes. That's kinda what overt means. Out in the open for everyone to see.

Out of curiousity, what did you think I was saying?

I am thinking it is too late for me to listen to my brain and some definations got mixed up in there.

My vocablulary is quite small.

Not when the character they'll be playing feels like the same male lead they see in all those B-List summer movies.

Which he isn't or at least doesn't have to be and that's part of the problem. He's a recycled archetype meant to appeal to the imagined male drive for high adventure romance and war.

God forbid people appreciate parts of the trailer that you don't.

You mean the parts you could only get if you had some knowledge of the series going in?

Because people must have knowledge of the series to appreciate a trailer for a game or movie series, right?

I'm just trying to figure what you could possibly be talking about. As we've both agreed the trailer is meant for men and I've gone on to speculate as to what in men they're trying to appeal to. I want to know what it is you meant by that line.

When I said that people can appreciate the fantasy, war, destiny, etc elements of the trailer, you said

Not when the character they'll be playing feels like the same male lead they see in all those B-List summer movies.

Which seemed to imply that you think what I said is negated because you feel that the protagonist is a tired cliche. And I don't agree with this attempt of negating all of what I said because of the protagonist.

Can't we just agree that while male gamers are still the majority, female gamers are a large and not-insignificant segment (who do more shopping than guys anyway)?

The exact breakdown isn't important and definitely not worth arguing over.

We all know this. We are just trying to show this poor soul that accurate, reliable and trust-worthy researches do not exist.

Wait, what? I, um....hm. Interesting viewpoint. Do you not believe in science or something?

I believe in something when that thing is right. It is know for a fact that there aren't 100% accurate researches. Nobody has ever gone to your house to ask you something about a research. Magic=/=Science.

I have been called "TO TAKE PART IN AN IMPORTANT SURVEY" before.

Does that count?

Actually people come to my house all the time wanting to ask me stuff for research or statistics or whatever (they call this canvassing). But that's neither here nor there.

Just because studies have an error margin doesn't mean they're worthless or inaccurate. You're just being silly now.

[Bryy_Miller]

Rap, how do you know something is "right"?

sorry didn't mean to be spiteful. but I think cnet, nielson and the esa are the best sources you really hope for.

But what I saw (I didn't see all of them, only like two of your sources) were concerning online games, this also includes small online games like Mafia Wars and Farmville that have a largely female demographic. I'm not saying that they shouldn't do trailers and such for female gamers, the stats you've linked are from a demographic who wouldn't even touch a controller without being confused.

I've lived in many places, and I have never been asked about any kind of survey.

Let's focus on Arkham Asylum. You play as BATMAN, an already established MALE CHARACTER. You just proved that you're the stereotype you are saying that you are not.

I honestly don't think you know what we've been arguing about or maybe I missed something back there somewhere.

You don't buy a Batman game thinking you can play as someone other than Batman. Even if there is an option for Batwoman, it's still called BATMAN.

Ok guy I have to sleep now. I think this thread has been great.
I know every single one of you agrees that more gamers playing DA2 has to be a good thing right?

G'night keep on being awesome.

Not at all. You wan't more females playing it. I don't want DragonFarmville.

Research surveys are the spawn of Satan and only exist to mislead you.

So, if I was not asked, my neighborhood was not beed asked also, so they can't be accurate.

That, uh, doesn't mean no one goes door to door surveying. Logic!

There are online surveys, and surveys you don't even know you are participating, but not everybody is participating. No 100%.

I suggest you go away read a basic book on statistics and then decide whether you really want to persue this line of argument .

[Arrtis]

Much info is taken without our notice.

I dislike it...But I rather have it this way than be forced to take surveys everywhere I go.

[Bryy_Miller]

Rap, please answer the question: how do you know if something is "right" if it's not researched and put through the scientific method?
