?Butterflys and sparkles"? Lol most girls over 14 aren?t interested in butterflies and sparkles. Tho I agree that not all games need to be violent and the rest of what she said is valid.
You know she's right. We need more princess protagonists. We could have a princess who uses her dance training to move parkour style through a sandbox city, and she disguises herself to go out into the kingdom and see the people her father rules, but they're all oppressed and she gets angry, so she becomes a mix of a Robin Hood/Cat Burglar icon, punishing her father's loyal nobles and giving the loot to the people. And when she had to she can throw down with a sword and a magic wand that controls plants, allowing for her to create new paths, grapple foes, and stuff like that. And when she slays a foe it turns into "red soul" butterflies that let her level up her abilities.
I need to write this stuff down. It could be a mix between Thief and Prince of Persia!
...I think I just heard Yhatzee spooge.

God, you guys should read the comments on that article. High horses EVERYWHERE.

Great, now i want a game that features "girly" brightly colored worlds and magical princesses in pink dresses who have magic wands that shoot sparkles that make people COMBUST VIOLENTLY INTO A MIST OF BLOOD AND BODY PARTS or CAUSES MASSIVE ORGAN FAILURES THAT ENSURE VERY SLOW, PAINFUL DEATHS.Geo Da Sponge said:
...I guess Fairytale Fights would be close enough, but i'd rather play as a giggling, pretty, omnipotent mass murderer whose enemies dispair in fear over the sparkly wand with the star on top that shoots pretty glitter that destroys a man or a village.
I've actually been thinking about this before. What if you changed all the player models and weapons and locations, but kept the gameplay exactly the same. Would you still play generic FPS shooter with teddy bears and rainbow dust instead of terrorists and ak47s?
Butterflies are dangerous, when they flap their wings, they cause storms.
Imagine what a magical glittering butterfly would do. It may cover over a quarter of the land on Earth with a glittery ooze gel, causung mass damage, famine and pollution.
I`d rather take my chances with a bullet than outrun a glitter gel tsunami.

You know what? While this is definitely not something I'd say for feminism, I would actually like to play a light-hearted game for once that isn't LittleBigPlanet or Mario or Sonic. Too many things these days are so dark and grim.
That's a bit sexist. The author is just plain reinforcing stereotypes with that comment. Maybe she was joking?
well, putting aside that it's kind of sexist, and very clichéd/indoctrinated/out of date view of "girls", she's actually right.The Heavy Metal Nerd said:
i think the point of the quote is that there are many (unexplored/unused) ways to eliminate an enemy/make him harmless than just killing him, but the games tend to always use this one representation of removing the threat.
i think the issue with the quote is just picking a wrong example. take Civilization, or other 4X games, where often a fully viable way to win/defeat an enemy is by cultural victory.
"You don't have to exterminate the whole enemy populace/army, you could, for example, just develop such a strong cultural superiority that all his cities gradually flip to your side."
better, now?
P.S. i don't really have time to read the article now, but there are just two possibilities - either that i'm right about the point of the quote, or the article is mostly stupid and irrelevant :-D
Hey super peach was good ( you are talking about that ds game right?). But umm what was you argument exactly ? You just posted games that featured female prtagonists with guns... Does having a female protagonist ( with guns) make it a girl game? I personally don't believe there are girl games or guy games , just games.TheDarkEricDraven said:
OT: i think people that don't play video games should refrain from talking about videogames . Just like people that don't read books shouldn't talking about books and those who don't watch movies shouldn't talk about movies.
If other women agreed with her, yes. But a lot of women happen to love action heavy games, as well as many other types.kman123 said:
Its sort of irritating to automatically give one woman that spouts drivel that power.
Well thats just insanely sexist, most girls i know would probably hit me if i suggested they play a game about a princess that turns stuff into butterflys and sparkles...
Heck i know girls that play and love violent games more than i do and ive played most of them.
To be honest, im getting sick of hearing people say there should be more seperation of the sexes when it comes to games, but i have yet to see any real divide by sex over any game that isnt aimed at either one or the other or kids.
Girls can and do enjoy violent games, it happens, please stop saying all girls want an end to violent games or the like cause you just make yourself sound stupid and probably do more harm to the female gamers place in gaming culture or whatever than you do to fix it.
Also, these majority of females who hate games and this so called expert quoted, are they gamers? Cause if not then you really do make yourself sound like idiots.
Alright then, most guys dont like romantic novels, but they dont read them, they just dont like them, that statement is kinda stupid and about as useful as hers, do i get paid for an article now?
