You’re not wrong but there a solid number of games with dudes as the main

If the character is good and compelling idgaf on the gender.

The problem is that a lot of female protags are completely unrealistic representations of women put in to spew developer agenda all over the players.

Female characters like Clem from TWD are great though.

Clem went from being this little girl that I HAD TO PROTECT (not wanted, I felt an actual need to protect her when playing the game) to an individual character with wants, a personality, and desires in the later versions of the game. While the gameplay does get repetitive at times, the Telltale Walking Dead games are insanely good for the story.

Got both games I wanted annouced from Bethesda yay, nothing on Starfield but nice too know it's actively being worked on

You are perfectly right, I can also add that most female characters are extremely force to the point where they’re unrealistic

Like the chick in the new gears, which emotional bitch would fight in a war

I think Season 2 and Season 3 get a bad rap, but I've actually really enjoyed every Telltale TWD game that I've played. The first season was the best just because Lee was such a great and relatable character.

Ayup. It's like trying to make a completely feminine but badass war goddess. They're kinda contradictory when said women is breaking down all the time.

I'd like to play as a regular feminine woman out of her depth having to overcome her naivety in a hard world, rather than some super har wardened boss babe that stretches the limits of incredulity.

It's fun to play as flawed characters.

i want to play a game as a chick who can suck every dick you come across (including mutant and monster dick) and in the final 5 minutes of the game its revealed you have a dick too

i think i've visited the SS forum too much

TJT · Jun 11, 2018

So let's chalk this up.

Ninjaborne and DOOM are Day one buys for me no questions asked. Starfield has my interested piqued. Pretty meh on the rest of it so far! I expect good things tomorrow though.

I'm predicting the following:

Ghost of Tsushima gameplay (I believe this is already confirmed, but whatever)
First look at the Avengers game being made by Crystal Dynamics
First look at Cyberpunk from CDPR *Check*
Nintendo's thing will be 75% Smash
Bethesda shows off one of their new IPs *Check; if anything, I was too conservative in my prediction*
Entirely too many Battle Royale games (mostly at the PC Gaming event)
A fair chance of something from either Rocksteady or WB Montreal (i.e.: I'm expecting to see something based on a DC property)
Devil May Cry 5 *Check*
Anthem will continue to look like another unfortunate Destiny-esque Shoot n' Loot *Check*
First look at Shadows Die Twice from Fromsoft *Check*

I'm in a self-congratulatory mood right now, so I just want to point out that, halfway through E3 conferences, I'm so far batting a thousand on predictions. Hope my streak continues, as the remainder are things I'd seriously love to see (well, aside from the 'too many battle royale' thing).

Beth: Argos are fun, and it'll be interesting to see Black Marsh lore. Shame I don't play ESO any more. Doom is great for the people that care about it, I guess. 76, eh. Everything that I care about (read: TESVI) is so far out that I can't bring myself to care. The "degenerates" line from Todd was so fucking cringe; looks like the new moneymaking political tactic is to play the cultural war sides against each other. D.

Devolver: A for memes. F for no Talos or SS4. C.

Cybsled · Jun 11, 2018

Huh? He was making a joke about the audience thinking he was talking about jerking off when he mentioned the one-handed playing, thus the "degenerates" line. It had nothing to do with politics.

sleevedraw · Jun 11, 2018

I'm interpreting it as him making a reference to /pol/, but hell if I know anymore.

Even one is too many, so that prediction is already true.

Pretty sure Japan has already made a game, a manga, a movie, and an anime the tells such a story.

Brikker · Jun 11, 2018

I guess I'm in the minority as someone who can't be too excited for a next gen console game (Starfield) or a game that just started preproduction and won't be out for years (TES6)...

Agreed. Cockteasing games that you wont release for 5 years at E3 is faggotry. 2 years MAX from your E3 debut IMO.
