All the videos are about killing...of course they kill the bad guys.
What would a woman do?

(4,516 posts)the outfits that the male warriors wear look like protective gear where those of the women warriors look like beach wear.
So my guess is a woman's game video would have the women warriors dressed more like the male warriors or maybe the males would wear the beach wear.

(15,805 posts)There aren't many good games that cater to women's interests. Most are marketing preteen girls, and they stupid, mindless serotypes about cooking, or finding a date, or getting married.
Suspense and mystery is one thing, but I hate horror genres with gratuitous violence, blood and gore, and endless destruction. I like to build, to see beautiful graphics, to meet interesting creatures. The Sims franchise is OK, although the newest version is not my favorite. Life is Strange has a strong female lead and nice graphics, its kinda weird but suspenseful, and its challenging.
Orwell is a very unusual, terrific mystery, and I'm looking forward to v.2. Its more a text based story with graphic stills and video clips more than animation, and the player is required to make input as the storyline advances through complicated plot twists and unexpected outcomes. The player can select male or female avatars to put in charge of an authoritarian world to determine which characters are arrested by the evil state, and who might escape to freedom, depending on which philosophy the player aligns with.
The Syberia series is another good adventure game with a strong female explorer who is on a long adventure. The graphics are beautiful, lots to see and explore, interesting characters, this is a good suspenseful mystery story with lots of possibilities.
I'd like to see a space based adventure games along the line of Star Trek Voyager or Deep Space Nine, where diplomacy and negotiation came before blow everything to hell.

(3,360 posts)I like games like Dragon Age and Assasin's Creed. And World of Warcraft and the whole Diablo series. I don't like the idea of being marketed to and someone assuming that as someone who is female, what I find enjoyable in a game is somehow different.
