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.
You're not exactly making yourself look intelligent there, both with your original post and this reply.
If what you **said **- there's enough games with female leads; female leads are only fine as long as the game is good; female lead is bonus points for a good game; it's no longer special - isn't what you meant, then why didn't you say what you meant?
