Top 5 Female Characters That Need A Return

PushStartSelect: "I find stories with a female lead fascinating most of the time because it’s a good twist on your stereotypical story revolving around a guy character. A lot of key dynamics change, and emotions are brought about for various reasons. This isn’t to say they are weaker or anything like that, but different and its cool. So here are five female lead games that I think should see a return in some shape or form soon!"

[PamPoovey]

Definitely Nariko...but if you've finished HS you know why this is a problem

<Spoilers>

I think Nariko can be brought back to life thanks to the type of Universe the game takes place in.

I mean it's not like Anna Torv is doing much, the main thing she does is FRINGE...which I'm praying dosen't get cancelled

[MaxXAttaxX]

Samus
Need a good Metroid game.

[da_2pacalypse]

Heavenly sword was good, However too short. If they're going to make a sequel, they need to make sure the length is much longer.

[barom]

Personally I thought Kai was a much more interesting character than Nariko.

[PamPoovey]

Meh....she was annoying as hell

Ok in small doses but when playing as her it was too much

[Greyfoxdbz]

Im definitely Wet for Rubi

[thats_just_prime]

Nice list however I really want to see Kameo return. She might not be very interesting from a personality standpoint but the game was fun

[jacksonmichael]

Jade, definitely. I would also say Bayonetta, even if she ends up playing second fiddle to Jeanne or something like that.

[Relientk77]

Good list, I agree with all 5 actually

[kma2k]

I have played well over 150 games this gen & for some reason it only happens when i play wet but that game gives me a massive headache, i think it has something to do with the grain fileter they use. Ive finished it but i just can play it any more.

[Tsalagi]

You can turn the grain filter off. Look around in the Options.

[kma2k]

honestly never looked, wish i had. Thank you for the heads up!

[ScytheX3]

Bayonetta, Alex Vance anyone of the 3 Valkyrie from Valkyrie Profile

[dorron]

Nariko, Bayonetta and...The Boss!!!

[hazelamy]

i'd love to see Jade return in a BG&E sequel.

[Venox2008]

absolutely! jade ftw.. samus also

[Rasta-blast]

I miss Cate Archer from the No One Lives Forever series: if anything needed a modern update...
Wanna buy a monkey?

[gaminoz]

You are on the money!!!! Totally agree with you!

Irreverant spy fun is much needed right now and a new Cate Archer adventure would see me part with cash for sure!

[Droid Control]

April Ryan - love that character!
Love the Longest Journey.

[MagicAccent]

The longest journey is one of my favourite point and clicks. They really need to bring that series back!

[pandaboy]

My favourite series after MGS. I love Dreamfall too. Bring back Zoe Castillo!

[StifflerK]

Me too , Ragnar Tornquist says TLJ 3 will happen - after he finishes his work on The Secret World.

He said on his website that we should have some solid info on the new game this year.

[tiffac008]

I would love to see Regina from Dino Crisis, Ellen from Folklore and Hana from Fear Effect again as well.

@ScytheX3 (above)

Hrist needs her own Valkyrie Profile title. :)

[segamon]

good list. both Primal and The Longest Journey were great games now forgotten, they should return.

[L30N4KU]

Where's Joanna Dark?

[Vortex3D]

The Longest Journey and Dreamfall were the last great adventure games made. I didn't call "action adventure" because a well written and designed adventure games don't need a gun or weapon to kill every enemy on the way. The graphics may not be great but decent. I still have Dreamfall on Xbox version and when I replay it, I quickly forget about the graphics because of great storytelling. Dreamfall ended with unknown fate if April if she died trying to save Zoe and Zoe ended in comma.

When I play very popular action adventure games like Uncharted, I keep thinking something is wrong with Drake. He must kill every enemy. It's like adventure game developers nowadays have no idea how to solve anything other than use a bullet. Once in a while, there's a puzzle but overly simplified that you don't need to do real thinking to solve it. Here's an interesting question. If Uncharted has no action and no shooting. Will Uncharted be as popular anymore?

[Soldierone]

To be honest i don't think it will be. I mean look at games that take guns away and instead put swords or something, even those take a massive hit. If you give your character a gun and put emphasis on other mechanics instead (like problem solving, or sneaking) and make it so if you shoot at everything you will run out of ammo, then reviews will say the game is broken or too hard.

Personally I think once the game industry takes a hit in sales then we will see the return of stories and better mechanics, until then these games will suffer greatly. No I don't wish bad things upon the industry.

The Longest Journey is honestly one of the most fascinating games I've played and I've been craving an experience like that for a LONG time and get bored of a lot of games because they don't offer it. It's like an addiction lol

I love uncharted, but can't help but feel that you are right. Without the gun it loses a lot more than it should.

[Vortex3D]

The problem with Uncharted and having guns is that's all it is. When there are enemies, Drake has one solution, shoot and kill them all. And is all Drake can do for the entire game whenever there are enemies. I'm not trying to pick on Uncharted but most action adventure games today are all about kill all your enemies that blocks your way.

In traditional adventure games, if there are enemies, the game can provide different methods to get around them. Guns are not always the solution. But too many gamers today seem to think so.

[tigertron]

This list is a joke without Faith from Mirror's Edge.

[Soldierone]

We actually listed it as an honorable mention near the end to listen to what everyone else had to say about the game. We had to narrow it down to 5 and it just simply didn't make the cut, but we would love to see more of it!

[tigertron]

I know, but she should have been in the top 5! :P

[VDub2174]

Aya Brea!!!!! I would love to see another Parasite Eve game for either the PS3 or PS Vita.

[FalconR289]

I'd like to see Hana from Fear Effect make a return.

[Pikajew]

I never played WET because Yahtzee said it was stupid.

[Fullbucket]

Primal was an amazing game. I wish they had made another =/
