Still ain't even close to the number of male characters. Like, if you're looking at a sample of literally thousands of games, sure there's gonna be female characters. But that's why you don't just look at it based on pure numbers, you look at it proportionally, in which case it's plenty clear that women are vastly underrepresented.
There are like 300000000000 powerful female leaders in video games, add 60000 on top of that if you add the villains But still add some more in, more power to the female gamers!
oh no no no! they aren't just in shooter games. You gotta expand your gaming experience. They have some in adventure games, horror, 8-bit , rpg, MMORG , fantasy, and many more. You just gotta find those hidden gems. :)
Pac Woman, Tess from Tess and the Forgotten friend, Faith from Mirror's edge , A new lady from The Division (but that's a shooter/adventure) , Michonne from the walking dead, New game ReCore has a lady, horizon zero dawn too, Evie Fyre from Assassins creed, You can play with a female on Fifa, Tracer on OverWatch, Sherry birkin from resident Evil and many more :D
Some of the games i gave you on the list are from ps4 games and pc games. Nintendo has some, like princess peach and pearl when they are not being rescued. The Wii system has some too. So, yea there are many protaganist women in video games that are not on the xbox. Chun- li from street fighters, and jade from mortal kombat are some more women that can kick some a$$ too.
What about mass effect? You can be a woman or a man, same name, slightly different game. But there are probably a lot more than you think, and off the top of my head I can't remember the names
This is such a stupid topic. There are SOOOO many games like this! Then there are the gender neutral ones as well. I swear to god this is 100% a Feminist co-opt bullshit drama issue being done by idiots who aren't even gamer's and have no idea what their talking about.
Or maybe the genre of games I'm into. Tend to not have female protagonists. Most of the females people have listed are from shooters. Which I hate shooters and most xbox games.
The problem with gender neutral ones is they end up not giving either gender much of a personality. They end up just standing there being silent and not giving you much choices to reply back to NPC's.
There are plenty of story games, mmo's, RTS's, DOTA's, RPG's, man like every genre..
Hmmm, K I was just thinking maybe it's a Console VS. PC gaming thing. I don't play Console and get most my games from Steam, there is no shortage of Female leads on PC games but PC also has a MUCH!!! bigger selection of games.
For gender neutral I was meaning games where you don't see the character your playing like say Sim City for example, or a car racing game etc..
I have a list of every game I have played on my profile. So those types tend to be the ones I enjoy the most. Though there are other games I really want to play just not able to since they don't have a free emulator for them.
The PC game I'm enjoying atm is Warframe though I haven't been playing much lately due to playing these other games on my new 3ds XL. Which majority of those games I was able to get for free.
ah k cool, I like your list. You like Elder scroll's, Final Fantasy, Mine Craft... Have you tried Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Ark Survival, 7 Days to Die, Divinity Original Sin, Mirrors Edge?
How do you get free games for your 3DS? I don't have one but I know someone who does.
I'm sad about how they didn't give the elder scrolls protagonist as more in depth personality. Sadly they make the personalities kind of dry. Though at least they kind of make it up by having some NPC's that are total bad ass. Though it still sucks because then you feel one sided on the interaction. Like you can't put more into the conversations or build much of a relationship with NPC's.
I saw a review about mirrors edge and seems like they had a great idea but then murdered the game mechanics. :(
It's thanks to this one website my boyfriend had found. Though sadly they weren't able to make all 3ds games free. So I downloaded all the possible games to play. Then I updated the 3ds which now I can't use that thing for free ones now. But the 3ds reads all the games I got for free as if I had actually bought them.
If you like building relationships with the NPC's you might really enjoy the Dragon Age series as well as the Mass Effect series, they are loaded with that kind of stuff. Neither are finished yet but there is a new Mass Effect coming out this year. You would probably also really like Star Wars The Old Republic, that game has HUGE!!! amounts of story and NPC relationships with HUGE!! amounts of replayability for more story, like no other game I have ever played.
They are PC and Console games, don't think for the Wii though, that will play on any PC that meets minimum spec's, so like most PC's that can play games I'd wager.
So far I'm not to crazy about mass effect since it's a 3rd person shooter as well. Which having just guns as a weapon is really boring.
So far the only shooter type game I've really liked is warframe. Since you have A LOT of weapon choice and then you have a lot of different frames to pick from. The last big quest that came out in warframe,"the 2nd dream,"Was epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3vcQTM1Zlk
Yeah Mass Effect is mostly lots of guns, it does have "tech", "biotics", "Powers" and "Omni Tools" it's the games SyFy version of magic and melee combat but yeah lots of guns lol, so might not be your thing.
Warframe looks pretty good, I hadn't even ever heard of it until now, do you know if they are making any more of them?
None of them are pervy and cocky son of bitches though! Plus you don't get to fuck other dudes. Which I know in the witcher series that dude gets to fuck a lot of chicks.
No because that would be like copying. I just mean making some female characters that are perverted, funny, bad ass, etc. It's really hard to find ones like that.

There are already a ton. You mention 2, but it just means you missed the rest.
Honestly, there are more, you just have to find them... they may just be in less prevalent games.
Still ain't even close to the number of male characters. Like, if you're looking at a sample of literally thousands of games, sure there's gonna be female characters. But that's why you don't just look at it based on pure numbers, you look at it proportionally, in which case it's plenty clear that women are vastly underrepresented.
I don't think there *should* be, as in some kind of quota to fill. But I do like 'em.
the ones we have all-ready are pretty bad-ass so I'm unsure
Yes, of course there should be more female characters, they are kinda more interesting ;)
There are like 300000000000 powerful female leaders in video games, add 60000 on top of that if you add the villains But still add some more in, more power to the female gamers!
Why do they all seem to be in just shooters? Which is the genre that I hate greatly.
oh no no no! they aren't just in shooter games. You gotta expand your gaming experience. They have some in adventure games, horror, 8-bit , rpg, MMORG , fantasy, and many more. You just gotta find those hidden gems. :)
I mean ONLY protagonist. Where it's only a female protagonist. Any side chicks don't count at all in what I'm meaning.

What about games not on the xbox at all? that are either on Nintendo consoles or play station but nothing to do with xbox?
Some of the games i gave you on the list are from ps4 games and pc games. Nintendo has some, like princess peach and pearl when they are not being rescued. The Wii system has some too. So, yea there are many protaganist women in video games that are not on the xbox. Chun- li from street fighters, and jade from mortal kombat are some more women that can kick some a$$ too.
Can't do a ps4 game since they haven't made an emulator for it. :( ewwww princes peach is annoying and is always crying to be saved. :P
lol yea true
There was also Joanna dark, from Perfect Dark 64. Great in the past, but microsoft burned the series.
Only video game I play is Madden NFL and sorry ladies its a man's sport!
There are games that allow you to choose the character's gender.
If the writer wants it to be a female yes. Having more females just for the sake of having more females is, in my opinion, pointless.
What about mass effect? You can be a woman or a man, same name, slightly different game. But there are probably a lot more than you think, and off the top of my head I can't remember the names
well I can think of many more than those 2 but yes, I'd like to see more.
Honestly, I wish all video game characters were Lara Croft! And that pic doesn't REALLY do her justice!
I don't mind. As long as they don't make female protagonists for the sake of them being 'female.'
I personally don't care about gender or race of a character in video games.
No, considering that most people that play it are guys
If you can only think of 2 it's because your not trying, stupid, or not a gamer.

Warframe looks pretty good, I hadn't even ever heard of it until now, do you know if they are making any more of them?
They are always making new frames to own. like a new one came out a couple of weeks ago. Which this quest is taking me a bit to finish. :(
"no" because i think no one should play videogames. they suck
How dare you forget Lightning :|
And a lot of popular games are gender neutral, Meaning you can pick if the main hero is male or female.
Final fantasy became less awesome story wise after ff10 and game play wise after ff12.
The point is there are plenty of female protagonist in video games, This question is pretty strange :P
None of them are pervy and cocky son of bitches though! Plus you don't get to fuck other dudes. Which I know in the witcher series that dude gets to fuck a lot of chicks.
So you want a female character like the guy from Witcher?
No because that would be like copying. I just mean making some female characters that are perverted, funny, bad ass, etc. It's really hard to find ones like that.
Should play Lollypop chainsaw.
There isn't an emulator for that game since it's on the ps3
rpcs3
Esx
You can try those, But I have never used a ps3 emulator.
a ps3 emulator doesn't exist atm. Since nobody has been able to make one so far.
Sure! Granted, I don't really play video games anymore. But I think they should to open to female heroines.
