Another game with a female lead incoming. As if there aren't enough of those already.
Look, female leads are fine as long as the game is good. But it doesn't get any bonus points anymore. Its no longer original. Metroid did it and it was cool. It was bonus points on top of an already good game. Same with Tomb Raider. But these days its like over 50% of all new games have a female protagonist. Its not special anymore like it used to be.
So, female leads in video games are fine when used and perceived as a novelty? Special and cool like they used to be? You can tolerate them if the game is good? Jesus man, I don't know what to tell you...
This is not what I meant at all, but leave it to Lemmy to make Redditors look intelligent, I guess. This place has really gone downhill quick.
Please go back to reddit, /r/gaming needs your discourse
