You people need Okami.

That statistic about 43% of the girls being 'gamers'?

That probably mostly applies to cel-phone games like Be-jeweled.

Girls still struggle at 'real' games like Half-Life 2 or Super Mario Galaxy. I'm not saying why, but the ones I've dated and hung out with only play Lego Star Wars because its easy and has unlimited lives, or Kingdom Of Hearts because of the Disney-esque cuteness and lack of difficulty in game play. Don't get me wrong, I've love to meet (and date) a hardcore female gamer.

i liked the wii.
although i nearly died in the Boxing.

my neighbor is teaching me how to play gears of war. F sterotypes

I play video games intented for males, like Halo 3.

That game is fun! XD
It's a wee bit too straight forward gameplay and plot-wise for my taste (Issun is always like: "Go over to that ROCK OVER THERE... maybe SOMETHING IMPORTANT is behind it... *hint hint* *nudge nudge* ") but it was a great game to just get your mind off a stinky day. Its kind of like a less difficult Legend of Zelda game. But still fun.
I typically like games with more complex plots where you can get stuck for a while because you can't figure out what to do next. I like figuring things out for myself more than being told exactly what to do by a little bouncing green thing.

But, really, being a girl gamer doesn't have many perks. You'd think it would, but it really doesn't. Guys tend to get defensive if a girl beats tham at a game they are really good at (like Guitar Hero, Super Smash Bros, Soul Calibur etc...).
I made a thread about this earlier.

Also it seems like they feel uncomfortable talking about the game with a girl who is as in love with it as they are. They just assume that the only video or computer games girls can play are ones like The Sims or Harvestmoon, and although I like those too, I love kicking a$$ at Guitar Hero as well.
I actually beat my cousin (who is a 21 year old college guy, mind you.) a few days back at Paint it Black on Expert. Case and point.


I assume you are making this generalization for the sake of being concise in the forum, but when people say things like "girls can't play 'real' games" it ticks me off.
Just saying.

Of course, I mention this girl gamer thing, and most of the posts were about MMO's, which I could never get into with any enthusiasm. I did play wow and got a mage to level 64 on the Khadgar server, but that was also playing on and off over the course of two years...

Most of the games I play are semi-obscure and/or old RTS's like Supreme Commander, LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, Star Trek Armada II, Rise and Fall, or the occasional RPG like Oblivion or Star Wars Kotor. 95% of my games are for PC (although I have a PS2 with a couple games), and I almost never play online (I like to play at my own pace)...

The only thing I long for is the old days when a brand new concept came out every month, and when gaming was something to do alone, not with random people online. I guess I would have to say the gaming industry has been perverted by the social mindset...

I love okami, being an artist and all it's fun!

Yeah, it's fun, but Issun is a little perve! He looks at women's breasts all the time. x_____x

Yeah I love that little Anime-eqse dirty old, little man, but I loved how you could make the sun shine or make bridges and learn attacks

Continuing about Okami:
I liked drawing the sun and the wind and stuff. I thought the painting element was really neat. It made it different.

Counterstrike. played that before steam came out. People used to hiss and whine and say "You aren't really a female" after ranking number one.

Guys can be such elitest snobs when it comes to what is considered a "real" game. I think Super Mario Galaxy looks rather "cutesy"



If World of Warcraft became mostly female, it would then be deemed not a real game. I also played Doom, Duke Nukem so those games have been tainted as well. Burn it. Played by a female, it's no longer just exclusive for males.

It's that attitude that makes some guys seem really immature.
