opinions on female game characters

[Lee-yoshi]

The games like GTA and DOA: XBV are meant for guys to play, where as games designed for both male and female gamers will just have very nicely dressed and great looking female characters... and in a fair few cases, the men too! Obviously its no bad thing, otherwise we wouldnt have the increase in female gamers that we have going on now.

I know its not necessarily the case over here in Europe, but in Japan for sure, female gamers are just as common as male gamers (And they wonder why the Xbox never took off in Japan!), and if anything, the prettier and sexier female characters (And male characters for that matter), the more female (Or male) gamers want to be them and look like them, hence CosPlay being SO popular in Japan.

The reality is that everyone loves great looking female characters... even the female gamers at the best of time... except when it gets stupid in games such as GTA... and games on the Xbox! lol

Many girls like games such as Nintendogs and The Sims, aww how cute and cuddly, and look at what our house could be (Not trying to be stereotypical here!), while not rejecting all other games completely - However, the theory of slut designed female characters are seen highly in the likes of GTA and a fair few games on the Xbox, such as the many FPS titles, which are made purely for mens enjoyment, because developers know its not going to be a smash with the ladies anyways, so why bother trying!
