Code veronica was probably the best RE in my opinion.
and done in full 3d too.

gah ffx2, I think i have to add it even tho i dont want to.....at all.

They need to make a game in the vein of 007 where the lead is a chick.
Or an rpg where theirs no question about her having the lead role. most times its shared with a guy.

90% of hardcore gamers are male, therefore there is a greater majority of male based Leading roles.

yes. and I recently thought of that.
But I also have a theory.
that since 90% of gamers are male.(you made that up)
slipping a chick the lead role, especially a badass role, and they'll like the game anyway.
some maybe for different reasons, but many others will be able to appreciate the game just the same with the added bonus points for having a badass woman at the center of attention.
not only that. but if done right, youre female gamers get a kick out if too.
if done right its a win win situation I think. problem is nobody wants to do it right.

we always get big breasts, gratuitus butt shots, and skimpy or form fitting clothing.

Primal is one of the few games i think breaks it clean.
She's actually on a mission to rescue her boyfriend.

totally flips the classic boy saving his girlfriend story.

Yeah, I made it up. I don't have a demographic sheet infront of me.

it's rare to get female gamers, I not saying they are a bad thing, I have nothing against this infact I'm all for it. But a lot of guys make games as well. Look at yourself as an example your first attempt had a male lead. It wasn't till biddy that you began to think about a female lead and through that other female leads.

it's harder for me to understand how a women reacts because I'm not one. It's easier for me to emphasis with a male character because I'm am one. I'm not saying it's impossible to have a female lead jsut less common because when you create stuff you rarely do so in third person, well atleast in my experiance you don't.

I understand your point that game makers like Amy Henning made LOK an all male lead game series why is hte not more of the reverse, I dunno.

I just bought a $10 game that sucks.

Apocalyptica.
sounds like it was written by religioniods. the story is about nuns vampires preists and demons.

none of the characters have a personality or even a character history.

but their is one that I like anyway.

Her name is asphyxia.
she wears a gasmask

you dont know how much I wanna break the rules to get her name on the badass list.

her name sounds like some sort of disease...

as·phyx·i·a
n.

A condition in which an extreme decrease in the amount of oxygen in the body accompanied by an increase of carbon dioxide leads to loss of consciousness or death.



Then theirs Asphyxiation which is essentially just plain old suffacated death.
but tack the prefix autoerotic to it, and it becomes pretty stupid.

Apocalyptica are cool String instrumental quartet though

i know you've got this 'anti fighting game' thing, but Ayane and Kasumi (DOA) are definatly leading ladies in the series, and definatly badass

I'm making an honorable mention section for those who would have made it if not for the strict rules.
