When the whole concept of the game is entirely fiction, why is it this one specific point that gets you so asspained?
Because they are literally fricking everywhere. Just look at the newer Doom Engine games. All women being far too "badass" to be even slightly realistic.
>even slightly realistic
Why are you playing video games
>All women being far too "badass" to be even slightly realistic.
i dont want to play another fps with a realistic protagonist as long as i live.
>newer Doom Engine games
Look into who develops "the newer doom engine" and what the community surrounding it is. It'll make things very clear to you.
The worst is A Plague Tale Requiem.
A 15 year old girl slaughters legions of medieval soldiers, and goes through an entire woke aesthetic transition by going from traditional female hair to side shave to full short back and sides.
At the very least she does get shown to be throwing a fight and is very clearly outmatched by the actual male soldiers and is only winning by killing from stealth or using other tricks ti get an advantage since a child is next to useless against an adult. The ridiculous nature if it is when she starts pulling a crossbow string back by herself and moving carts full of bodies around.
I chocked that up to just making concessions for the gameplay sections. But when they introduced the "badass brown ship captain" gypsy I started to lose interest. Good to hear I can give up on it and nothing will be lost.
I'll take the first game with its nonsensical Stephen King plot over this.
>Doom Engine games
>realistic
Doom games are not about being male or female because 9 out of 10 times protagonist is a blank slate. It might be as well crippled midget with down syndrome inside mech suit if dev decided to make it for shit and giggles. It doesn't fricking matter. Be glad she's white and looks bangable.
>Be glad she's white
That's the worst part though.
>That's the worst part though.
Only if you are amerimutt.
All female characters should be Japanese. You cannot prove me wrong on this.
>All female characters should be Japanese
That's just like, your opinion, anon.
That thing aint bangable
You're gay.
>'girl next door' not bangable
you won't be bangable at all troony. YWNBAW.
Who is considered more frickable these days? Ion maiden lady or Selaco?
Well at least Selaco didn't turn into a robot yet
Selaco > Zan > Shelly
Does selacogal have a name?
Dawn Collins according to the ingame emails
You mean Shelly vs Selaco Girl?
Depends how much shittalk you can handle. I expect Shelly to be more crazy in bed in the bad way, and Selaco Girl to be more timid. Pick your poison.
It's just a subpar drawing, she's at least ok and is meant to look cute in a rather boring but functional armor.
I have far bigger problems with japanese devs spending MILLIONS making westcuck looking photoscanned roasties monstruosities than western indies making their games' protag a relatively cute girl in spite of their poor art skills.
You should take your meds, NOW!
Why do you answer a question with a question instead of just addressing what he's saying.
what's the problem with answering a question with a question?
Its evasive.
it isn't. the question has a reason. finding that reason helps answer the question.
why not just answer the question to a question asking for answer?
Makes you sound like a Rabbi
>choose to have a female protagonist
>it's just a woman acting like a man would
It's all so tiresome.
Fiction still has to be believable enough. Otherwise it's just bullshit.
and how should a woman act?
the gun should be thrown out of her hands after every shot as she makes little startled screams. its immersive and challenging
>Fiction still has to be believable enough.
It literally doesn't. If you pull out your abacus every time someone in a sci-fi mentions math to check their figures, you are taking it too seriously.
Then why can't they all be micro bikini-clad e-girls instead?
>why is it this one specific point that gets you so asspained?
Because this one specific point happens to be a cultural point of contention for nearly two decades now? I’ve never understood the argumentative style of just pretending to be ignorant of the topic at hand for the sake of trying to make the other person seem deranged
You're just scared to see fictional women using guns. Go play the new shitty doom or Halo games and quit being a paranoid frick
Video games are for men. They always have been. Eventually you will realize the absurdity of feminism when you literally can't escape it.
>They always have been
Literally nope.
>HAVING FEMALE PROTAG IS EVUHL FEMINISM TRYING TO DESTROY MUH CHRISTIAN VALUES AND STOPPING ME FROM GETTING A GIRLFRIEND
Yadayadayada we've heard it all before, I like girls.
I don't want to play as some dumb fricking girl
Let's be real, if there weren't hot chicks, or if they were censored, you'd still be complaining.
>Female protagonist
One of my filtered tags on steam
Bend over, homosexual.
Pretty sure that character is a dude
I wish
Yes, mommy.
what's the problem? she's cute
only one I didn't like was the one for hedon.
muscle chicks are ugly. also she's a futa(?)
>futa
Non-canon.
Dev's pretty much said it's however you want to take it, but if you've seen those pictures of Zan, it's hard to pretend it isn't just her swingin' a massive orc-demon wiener. Plus there's the whole sidequest that leads to her fricking a succubus, even if it fades to black, kinda backs it up.
>muscle chicks are ugly
t. low testosterone homosexual
The problem is not female characters. The problem is that creators can't make good female characters, you're always end up with some unlikable tryhard b***h whose entire personality is that she has penis envy and thus needs to outswear Duke Nukem and outfart Lo Wang.
This is one good exception.
where are the rude brapping gun mommies?
>mommies
Yeah nah they don't have breasts for that.
Of course, you had to point out her being a futa.
>one of the best female characters in the genre was made by an amateur porn artist who got too deep into the worldbuilding of his yardstick wiener futas and in post-nut clarity made a fricking game out of it
What did the universe mean by this?
Miyamoto made Mario because Nintendo lost the Popeye license and he was fond of old timey cartoons about a working man hero like Mickey Mouse or Popeye fighting a brute for his girlfriend. Zelda was based on his love of exploring forests and caves as a child. Pikmin was born of his gardening hobby.
Satoshi Tajiri developed pokemon out of his fondness for capturing and collecting bugs as a child, wanting to recapture that feeling as the area he grew up in became rapidly urbanized in Japan's post-war recovery.
Hidetaka Miyazaki built D-Souls's storytelling out of the influence of looking at fantasy illustrations of English fiction at his library, since he wasn't fluent in English.
Soul is a nebulous term, but you can tell when somebody is building something out of a genuine passion, crafting something born of their wide interests, rather than "I liked this SNES JRPG/movie game and I wanted to make it with my characters"
If Hedonman built his world of orcs and dwarves and elves with guns and magic out of end stage coomerism, who are we to delegitimize it any more than Miyamoto making Wii Music cause he liked learning new instruments?
YES MOMMY
videogames need more muscle-mommies
I wish she wasn't stuck in a bad game
trannies
especially when it's irrelevant to the story, the protagonist isn't voiced, and it adds nothing
Oh look another one ffs
If it adds nothing then why not make the PC a girl?
The story in that game was fricking hilariously bad.
>story
Why do you care about the story or game? People bought the game for the OST alone.
I'm fine with Hellsinger, but I tried these on goypass and distinctly remember her obnoxious "heh I'm so fricking cool and badass" character and voicework making me quit and uninstall the game.
Who cares you homos
Aside from the cringy dialogue the game is pretty fun and has some interesting ideas. She does shut up after the beginning for quite a while.
This is the ugliest character design I've ever seen holy shit
sexy women good
That character is not sexy or attractive. What are you smoking
you are gay, anon. face it.
Start coping cuz they are not going anywhere
Keep that cringe inducing female character out of my thread
What a boring and forgettable design.
>all covered flatchested brunette #351643863453
Yawn
true we need brown haired white male #395641125437
manly male >>>>> unfeminine desexualized woman
Cool strawman, btw, homosexual
Manly males make me feel gay because if the games perspective is in third person I can't stop staring at their asses.
modern games are so fricking boring
I always mistake her for Bombshell from Ion Fury before clicking the preview
I was confusing her for several weeks even after opening pics with her until I found the thread where it was written in op she is from selaco
Because QT girl in box art and coomerbait.
Incel thread
Why don't you make your own shooter with hot bara men?
As a consumer I have the right to critique. I don't want to make games
You also have the right to shut the frick up
women can't be heroes
too many sissies and virtue signalers in game dev, it's really that simple
mostly a western indie trend though so i don't really care
Cause badass women are hot as frick (see Ripley in Alien 1)
>see these three characters and ignore the thousands of other times it didn't work
name 23 that aren't aaa fotm memed on by Ganker
male protag shooters
>3 female protag shooters
>OOOOOOO HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN EVERY GAME NOWADAYS IS FEMALE PROTAG SHOOTER WTF??
moron
You know this isn't true moron. Look at the upcoming Doom clones. Selaco looked good but frick playing as a woman
mod it, it's fricking gzdoom
Devs should just make a proper character instead. Not playing with an ugly moron
Then why are you still alive?
>Why does every fricking indie shooter have a female protagonist these days?
you know why
get over it, Quck, or drop the hobby
K-12 indoctrination
how many have female protags? I can think of Ion Fury but Shelly as a character has actually been in the works for a really long time, there's Selaco obviously, what else? anyway who even cares, you're a gun toting camera, the character matters as much as the paragraphs of plot they used to put in the instruction manuals
>anyway who even cares, you're a gun toting camera
Basically this. Why not put a cute Action Girl on the boxart if it will move copies and make no difference to the experience of the game?
OP is the same sort of moronic homosexual who thinks you're gay because you play a female character in an MMO. See
, he's a normalgay who fricking self-inserts in everything he plays, so asking him to do that with a female character makes him flip his shit.
Off the top of my head
Ion Fury
Severed Steel
Hedon
Selaco
Nightmare Reaper
Americans are sissified emasculated homosexuals post Obama.
>play game with female protag
>it sucks
>blame trannies and sissies
>play game with male protag

>blame trannies and sissies
theres no winning with incels, they think more about trannies than anybody else
yea where are all the guys for straight me like me. like come on i dont wanna be looking a chicks and shit, where are the dudes? show me the dudes.
troony devs. Also trying to keep the twitter homosexuals from cancelling them for having a toxic male lead.
It's a way to undercut the inherently scary masculinity of what these games are about. Murdering your way to what you want is for chuds, but what if the murderer is A HOT CHICK. BUT LIKE NOT A loose HOT CHICK, SHE WORKS WITH MACHINES AND STUFF, AND SHE'S A LESBIAN (because the idea of a man having sex with her is the kind of direct application of force we're trying to avoid invoking).
Because the people who make the games wish they were girls obviously
like paradox games, the only people who play boomer shooters are ultra left or right. the ultra left creates them and the ultra right plays them. you have to be incredibly dysfunctional to play them since they are so niche, i dont even think most of generation x or prior really plays them.
Black person the new doom games are some of the beloved and iconic games that have been released in recent years. then you have incredibly successful indie games like dusk, ultrakill, amid evil, and classic titles such as half life remaining popular with current generations.
how the frick is the genre niche.
>ewww why is there a cute girl in the game
Because unlike you, some men are straight.
Bluer oceans
The majority of AAA shooters have male protagonists, so it's an easy way to distinguish your indie shooter by having a female protagonist
Cope.
It's still moronic to the core though since the dev can literally replace the straps with green ones or any other color instead of the colors that conform to troony dogma. That's like me drawing a picture of a father with Hitler mustache hugging a son that is Aryan blue-eyed blonde haired while both are wearing an armband that suspiciously looks like a peaceful windmill and when confronted with nazi accusation I'll just say
>hurr durr those are just glow in the dark windmill straps that help them survive the moon bunker Cthulhu invasion chud!
Blue is the highest frequency of visible light next to white
So why not have white straps then? Or is white=racist?
>>the lightstrips are a single color, blue
>girls can't wear pink
Stop putting words in my mouth moron. Again, they could've had the girls wearing white straps with pink shirts or hell any other head accessories that doesn't show those troony colors but they did. Thus. people are questioning their moronic designs.
>IS THAT BLUE AND PINK IN THE SAME DRAWING? I'M GOING INSANEEE
lmao you've been buck broken by this site.
This poster is probably the same moron that think the word Z is offensive. lol what dumb moron who don't even have any argument.
What are you talking about? Are you referencing the idolatry the Russians are doing with the letter Z? You type like a gay and your shit's all busted.
>spray the word z on some shitty van on your way to ukraine
>some moron are calling it idolatry
stop proving that fricker right.
>call something idolatry
>meanwhile hohols and their internet fanboys are literally worshipping the Western weapons, going as far as drawing religious icons of them
>GUYS DID YOU KNOW THE LETTER Z THE LETTER Z THE LETTER Z
Nobody cared or was bringing it up, why are you like this?
It's a failed meme.
>So why not have white straps then? Or is white=racist?
Blue light is legitimately, wholly, cheaper to produce via LED lighting than optical white visible by the human eyes. Seriously. How much chinesium shit do you know that has blue lights for no discernible reason? Why do displays use blue lights? Bam. Blue has the most efficacy and is the cheapest and most produced light color in the entire world, post-incandescent and phosphor lighting.
Next question, homosexual?
>Next question, homosexual?
Can I cum in your mouth?
No, but I can cum in yours.
White light isn't made up of a single frequency.
Artist is an alphabet person, and pro alphabet.
Selaco is made by the CIA?
Every political group is branch of the CIA, so yes, LGBTQABCD+ is a branch of the CIA.
>color combination (no one can use it anymore i guess)
>fanart (guess that official now)
is the pic a troll?
>instead of colors that conform to the dogma
>the lightstrips are a single color, blue
>girls can't wear pink anymore because anon's brain is as broken as frickers who think every single image of a woman is a mtf trannie
Med yourself or have a nice day. I'm not giving you another chance.
as for the OP, you're a homosexual who can't name for me ten games fitting your moronic criteria. Neck rope soon.
>I demand you change these colors so as to not trigger my autism. Well okay, not "demand", but I certainly am gonna piss and moan endlessly in a passive-aggressive manner until you do it.
you have become what you hate
>Oh noooooo I accidentally played a game with a female protag now I'm being feminised aaaaahhhhh help meeeeeee [voice suddenly goes up in register like that scene in day of the dead]
We had mostly male shooter protagonists for the past 30 years, its nice to get some change
Also chicks with guns are hot
>Also chicks with guns are hot
Hot chick with guns are hot, not these bland desexualized nobodies
indie developers don't need to justify their actions to anybody
Because it is wins over more of the audience more easily in general. coomers get their eye candy, sexy fan art, sfm rips, erp mods, new coom magnet, etc. Trannies get to pretend to be a hot chick. And then what few real literal women play the game will praise the fact that the MC is an action girl instead of the once typical-to-video-games damsel in distress. It's just a smarter thing to do if you want to be safe with the likability of your protagonist to get more sales.
Unless a game like this becomes a meme there is zero chance it will actually get porn. As for the official design, it is as unsexy as it can get unless you are into bland women in futuristic jumpsuits. And we all know the female and "female" audience of these niche games is essentially nonexistent.
I'm convinced the only reason devs go with these barely feminine designs (notice if OPs pic had a masculine haircut you couldn't tell she is a woman) is to either get free advertisement through a journo trying to fill their quota or to not get crucified by them.
Okay well you're wrong. These games have plenty of Rule 34 and no other boomer shooter during the last 8 year revival has been criticized for having an OC male protagonist.
>These games have plenty of Rule 34
Why would be male protagonists criticized in a genre which was always about them? If someone wants to change the status quo they need to prove their worth. If You are making a copycat game (trying to bank on nostalgia) and your only "original" idea is gender swapping the protagonist then I have bad news for you. Double standard will always exist. The female version of a hypermasculine dude who exist to rip and tear is not a skinny dude with a feminine haircut.
28 is pretty high for indie
The autists that can do games are, for the most part, trannies and furries. The rest does this in order to slip by undetected from the majority, and unethical moron game journalists starving for a huge break by ruining someone’s life
American media is american propaganda that also get money, not the opposite.
This looked like fanart of Sasha from AoT to the point that I wondered what board I was on. Then I saw the rifle LOL
What's funnier is that both Ion Fury and Selaco managed to independently land on the same boring-ass female MC design, even with the same color scheme
Mentally bankrupt and I bet it's the same people who used to complain about the bald space marine archetype
A lot of indie games have female protagonist. I just mark it as overcompensation for when AAA were nothing but bald men. It is not the case anymore but hey, old habits die hard.
those guys that always pick female characters are making games now. problem?
Name 5 games
After a lifetime of dicking succubi and goblin shortstacks and taking steam baths with sweaty voluptuous orc babes, having sex with boring brown-haired dyke would be a massive downgrade for Zan.
shes finally ready to settle down with someone who has a pension
In other shooters or, probably, in other genres.
Not him, but Nightmare Reaper, Viscerafest, Hellslinger, Project Absentia, The Citadel. But even then the amount of MProtag shooters greatly outnumbers FProtag shooters, you probably could even make a shitty gangbang-focused RPGMaker H-game out of them if you wanted.
I'm surprised you named that many and didn't even need to add Ion Fury and Selaco

Your list is incomplete. I distinctly remember some REALLY cringey game shown on Realms Deep whose protagonist was a generic woman in generic armor who talked shit constantly, non-stop.
My male protag list is also incomplete. I forgot Prodeus and Project Warlock, for example, which are pretty big ones. And I guess Citadel for femshoots, a guro art project it is.
Then your list doesn't prove anything, for all we know you may have forgotten twenty female protags as well.
There might be infinite female protags just out of your range of vision at all times, perfectly turning as you do so that you can't directly look at them or interact with them but always oppressing you with their existence.
>ULTRAKILL
Looks like chuds didn't learn their lesson after Borderlands 3. V1 is non-binary.
Cry about it? I dunno, HROT and Duskdude exist.
People would care less if they shoes horn actually attractive women into games
It's always ugly dyke that piss people off
Their screams whenever they get killed give me a boner.
I assume because most men would rather look at an attractive female than some manly, buff dude with a torn shirt. but you do you
You can't look at your protagonist in a first-person game, you moron.
Then what difference does it make?
then why do you care at all?
What is this? I want to play it.
Rollerdrome, not an FPS but a TPS.
>Look up trailer
Holy crap, I don't care it looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
Ugly chick, looks like the artists are the type to draw from 'an intersectionalist point of view'
>takes place in the Soviet ...
Ah makes sense.
It gives me more ryona content, so I'm not complaining.
V1 doesn't even have a gender
That thing would've better off being female.
Indie games are made by the most creatively bankrupt people on the planet.
You're remembering those characters but who the frick remembered the guy from Prodeus or Wrath or any of the other also-ran boomer shooters?
Massed incel seethe and victim complex from, should I call them "politically challenged, kids.
Seething chuds translate to free advertising for normal people.
Not really. Not unless those "normal people" are browsing Ganker.
I enjoy the death screams of female characters
We've reached the point where hollywood was decades ago, where movies starring morons, Black folk or featuring the holocaust was guaranteed to get awards.
Now it's women and Black folk in video games
Is Hyper Demon a boomer shooter?
I enjoyed The Citadel, a gory anime-style retro-style FPS. On the topic of top-down shooters, Morimiya Middle School Shooting works well with a female "protagonist."
you can sell more varied costumes in a female character
>Indie
It's most of AAA and AA as well
>Are they that desperate for sales?
Having a female protag gets you 1-2 points added to your review score. Games witrh male protags start at 0 and are score dup, games with female portags start at 1 or 2 and are scored up from that.
Also female protags along with poc and lgbt characters ensure ESG gibs
It's all about changing the West into a full matriarchy. Males are overwhelmingly the largest group when it comes to gaming. SO they make male characters weak, indecisesive idiots. Then make female characters all strong, intelligent, and decisesive. WOmen don't need men to protect them but men need women for protection.
This way boys grow up brainwashed by tv. film, and games to be as males are portrayed in those mediums, they are indoctrinated to view women as smarter and physically stronger than themselves and to fear them.
Is it any wonder that since this went into full swing there has been an explosion of men trying to become women and the rampant promotion of it.
hot
>people trying to push their sissy hypno fetish as a conspiracy to trick prople

To generate buzz via "ooohh look it's a woman!" AND with the porn people start drawing.
hot sexy b***hes are hot sexy b***hes.
indie devs are closet ryonagays
They're just edgy homosexuals making irrelevant games soon to be, if not already, forgotten. Just leave them do their stuff, don't buy it if you don't like it, simple as
The problem with female protagonists is that the focus is on the character and not the game itself. They're never just part of the game, they're highlighted as some meta narrative that you can't look past whilst playing, which ultimately takes you out of the game. Female protags never used to really be like this. Take, for example, the Unreal games. Both 1 and 2 feature a female protagonist, the first being a convict and the second some kind of bounty hunter or something if I recall right, and they just fit with the game. You never got the impression that they only reason they were included was to score points on reddit and twitter and were created with a genuine passion for the game.

It will never work. Females can't be badass. Trying to depict a female as such is just laughable. There is a reason why nobody watches female sports.
Oh, people ABSOLUTELY watch female sports. Just for different reasons.
for a porn artist to draw them being mating pressed
Because coomers will buy anything sex related. They're literally insecure and will lash out by projecting.
Dude, I was at your house once and all the fellas there were very nice to me.
>You hate women therefore le gay
ok reddit
Because everyone follow the same trend and making a game with a female protagonist is the new one. Fun fact, none of them will be remembered because they are all boring as frick.
>a frick ton of wannabe badass female protagonists
>none of them is a robutt
Motherfrickers.
Indie devs want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to appear progressive while also pandering to lonely virgins who play any shovelware that features a cute girl.
Remember when sexy women were fun and not a coping mechanism for the undesirable virgins who then later become trannies.
I remember.
Every real person does
They still are in Japanese games.
TR is a bad example because the gameplay was never good.
>coping mechanism for the undesirable virgins who then later become trannies.
literally the answer to OP question.
90% of devs are male now just like they used to be in the past, the difference is that now virgins get pressured mutilation instead of just living out their nerdy sex fantasies in escapism
Sex sells
I like girls
Because you at least remember female characters instead of offbrand Doomguys.
Go fricking have a nice day already, incel. It's a video game character get the frick over with.

>fricked up looking guns from ww2
>radial menu for commands

man, they really captured the boomer artstyle.
Originality and actually interesting and likeable characters are downright dangerous these days
Because nondescript woman is a stupidly easy angle to abuse on either side. Either you "own the chuds" screaming about realism or "own the troons" by making an actually attractive character. It's a versatile card for people that are infatuated with making concept builds and mechanics, but don't care enough about taking the time to dress it up to stand out.
And I'm assmad the japs get motion sickness too easy to just do the same shit with anime girls.
Cause girls being violent is hot
Girls being violently abused is also hot
There is no reason not to use a female protag unless you're gay
Easy way to get Blackrock points. Also everyone loves cute girls.
>Easy way to get Blackrock points.
Anon please learn how the world of finance works before you shitpost, indie creators aren't going to get invested by blackrock for multiple reasons, number 1 being they're not a fricking public company.
to please stupid game journos, the doom guy in nu doom was called toxic even when he doesn't speak to anyone.
