Eh it depends. Women like Lara Croft or Ayame make sense since it's more acrobatic guile and cunning instead of pure brutal strength. Even the Amazon from D2 has a litheness to her general play style. If it's a hulking gorilla woman then I could understand what you mean.

I'm gonna laugh when this wins GOTY and you know it will, too, given how game journalists feel the exact same way about gamers as she does.

Acceptable non-chud opinion

oh cool she carries a guitar with her too lmao epic bacon my fellow narwhals

It's okay if they're sexy

women have been action protagonists in games since before your daddy was born, alphie.

This is why I hate Metroid so much
>Chad protagonist who does everything a male would do
>Dressed in full armour
>But they were secretly a woman the whole time
A woman who does literally only male things and possesses traditional male qualities like strength and martial prowess and no female qualities what-so-ever. There's probably a word for that in fiction because it doesn't exist in reality. And I'm not making a "realism" argument either, it's just shitty writing. Like if Samus had been a man then he would have just been better in every way.

I just hate that she's so recognizably ugly, and she's recognizable as "the least funny improv actor from Game Changer". Her personality and persona are even more repellant than her physical appearance.

It's like if they facescanned Sarah Silverman or Seth Rogan to be a serious game protagonist.

So why didn't they use the actual Japanese Voice Actor as the character model???

And women just cant take you seriously as a romantic interest

I am more annoyed by dudes bitching about strong women as if it somehow offend their manhood. Your shitty animes do it all the time.

You wouldn't get it even if I explained it.

Lame cop-out ... Just proves you have no counter argument to what I said.

It's funny that video game developers and publishers keep fucking their games up in the exact same predictable ways over and over and then expect me to feel sorry for the tidal wave of redundancies that follow

Nah I still have a lifetime worth of woke fatigue, they could be dragging leftist actors into the streets and curbstomping them and I'd still find trouble feeling sympathy.

Only STACY characters looks cool as female protags. This one looks like some asian Karen in her quest to find the Manager

>>715602076
Just like Dragon Age Veilguard won? Nah, Witcher 4 will probably after CD Projekt dropped the framing their game as some feminist slop

For SHOULD win I agree, but you and I both know that game journos will pick whatever pushes their propaganda further. I expect it to win some awards but it won't be the overall winner. Also expect it to get snubbed for OST that only goes to the most generic of generic orchestral scores. E33's OST isn't generic.

someone post the demonic webm of the ugly chink showing all of her teeth in a scary grimace pretending to be a laugh and lets get this thread over with

It depends on the setting and animation style.
Motion capture or realistic character movement can make them very jarring, since real physics and female fighters don't get along together.

For this series, it's quite acceptable. I'm currently playing the first game, where you are saved by a girl boss character, then you help a widow who is cutting down men left and right. Yotei mc is just another such character.

Nintendo won
Sony lost

>>715604625
Yeah when it was done tastefully.

>>715605485
Okay well assuming good faith, the Metroid series rips off Alien in contrasting a female lead with a malevolent female alien intelligence, and the ongoing theme of motherhood and reproductive horror is important; Samus's feminine nature prevents her from exterminating the final Metroid.

Also a man couldn't pull this look off.

ok cool.

Why couldn't it have been Zac.

Idk i saw a video I never saved of a zesty buck that was doing flips in heels that could pull it off

No, I am fine with men doing improbable things. Improbable things for men are usually impossible things for women.

only men are physically capable of swinging a sword or pulling the trigger on a gun. women have 2 purposes in life: making dinner and spreading her legs in the bedroom.

>>715599706 (OP)
Female protagonists in action games only work if there's supernatural elements involved. Like Bayonetta. She has literal magic at her disposal and most of the big events are done by the demons she summons and not herself. Something like this is far easier to swallow than a game with a more grounded approach having a woman physically dominate trained male combatants twice her size.
