You want to know why all the romances for women are not as good as for men?

Actually, I LOVE the romance options this time around.

Well then, everything's good then...carry on soldier.

My FemShep is still unattached through ME2, waiting for an interesting, non-whiney human.

If I taped down the "attack" button when playing God of War I can beat that game. Not exactly a complicated game

No, but I'm just no good at the "fight eleventy-billion enemies" type games where you cut through all of them like butter then the boss actually makes you pay attention and kills you.
Plus they give me a headache.

Why do you want another human male? Don't you alredy have enough in RL?

Then perhaps they are intentionally hiding their numbers. I know there are many female gamers and I know their numbers are growing, but considering the extent to which video games have long had appeal to mass audiences among men, I have a hard time believing we're up to 4 out of every 10 gamers being women -- particularly if we exclude singstar, participation games on Wii, etc, which would make sense for this discussion. I just don't see evidence of it in game shops and when I look and see who's playing video games. It seems like it's more like 2 out of 10, and if you limit it to shooters and shooter/rpg hybrids, it appears to be lower than that.

I should say though, I have no science behind this, just what my eyes see. That's why I'm going to contact the publishers of that study for their methodology. If I hear back from them, I'll post results.

Well what is ironic, I think the 2/10 ratio is still grossly underestimating them. I even have personal experience and not just sociologist writing about it in journals.

*peers out* I used to be a MMO Raider.. stop lauging now. Anyways, my point was in almost any Raid I been in had a significant number of females (verified because you know.. Vent?). In a 10 man team we easily had 4 female members, a few times I seen it get up to 6. In many instances the raid leader and/or guild leader was female too. Now it is possible MMOs attract female gamers, but a lot of people think "hardcore raiding" is a prodominately male activity, yet even in the most dude filled raids you will easily have 20% women, and usually it was higher. This is why when people list huge figures of gamers being female, I am not suprised.

If the women here don't like it then they should enter game development themselves so that the games industry actually has access to a wider breadth of talent other than young white males who will, surprisingly, write things from a young white male perspective.

Until then, it will be men writing it all, so get out there and do it women, your gender needs you!

I am actually going into game design lolol, guess I'm just trying to get the trend started before I get there so the fight won't be super difficult.
