Did you really not see the 345 results on the right from Ada Wong to Zelda? That is quite a lot of characters to write off.Rebel_Raven said:1: The first giant bomb list is hillariously short. I think you meant the long unsorted list that goes back to the dawn of gaming and counts games where you have to play the game first as a guy to unlock a woman to play as, or play as a woman for even the briefrst part of the game. Pretty sure foreign language games are in there, too. That's not really helpful, nor does it offer a lot of hope for the future.

Yes, because the opposite of the protagonist is the antagonist. A boss is nothing more than someone that opposes the player for their own aims. And since I got a message from the person about how the game Portal was a "point taken", particularly with a popular game that fits the qualifications I think this is more what you want in games.2: The second list counts women who aren't the main boss, and also counts women that join your party, and stop being antagonists and become NPCs in your group. That wasn't quite what the guy was getting at, I think, when he said women as the main villain, plus you play as a woman.
Ok... There's a list for you of games that fit your standards.The third list is pretty short, and repeditive, too. Most of the games are on steam, though there are some that have gotten to consoles. Not sure if I mentioned it, but my laptop isn't exactly a gaming machine, and I utilize it more for social matters, and work than gaming.
You get a lot of people not enjoying the game for whatever reason and you play as a counselor. Imagine the counselor being male or female, but you never see yourself.What's sexist about princess maker? I'm more irritated that it's basically PC exclusive. But do you play as the princess, or the guy raising her? I forget. pretty sure it's the latter.
All of this still doesn't say much about genres preferred or anything about gameplay that people like, just that the criteria is limited.I'm not really looking at AAA so much as wanting to focus on console games, to be blunt. I recently got a 2ds to try and get away from my problems with console games.
Not everyone wants to game purely on the indie circuit either. Believe me, i don't. Do note I said purely. Doesn't mean I won't play an indie game.
I do know of games women like to play, being one.
Gender neutral genres are murky, and generally not what I'm talking about in games with female protagonists.
Yes, my list is very selective. It's about female protagonists in games where you only play as female. That's the whole point of what I'm talking about. It certainly helps to have sights set on console games that came out in the past 5 years, and games coming out.
Been there, done that...And why not play as an ugly woman every once in a while?
