May have been an accident, but Ubi's still a good example.MerlinCross said:I put Ubi because it was the first one to come to mind. That's why after that sentence I said "Any of the big names". By Big names I mean Triple AAA, somewhat common knowledge, news outlets would get the names right they are big enough.
I mean, if you take a look at AAA games that came out last year or are coming out this year, discounting games with non-human or player created avatars, what are we looking at?
Are there exceptions? Sure, always are. Exceptions don't disprove a trend.
I'd be happy to see a game with a cowardly, selfish female protag if it was well made. Turns out, good writing and characterisation generally isn't considered bad. Incidentally, that's where the so called "Galbrush" fallacy breaks down. Well crafted characters that break from the standard main character template almost always do well. (For the shade that gets thrown at "SJWs" for things like Bayonetta, there's actually a lot of the them who like the character, myself included. I just didn't much like the camera work.)
