An editors special blog about the need for more female characters that play a leading role in annualised games and the blockers that are likely to be preventing it.
MGL:
Assassin’s Creed is the perfect game to give a female lead character. But one thing here is a big blocker and it’s a sad statement to make but an annual release game’s first priority is making money, making a good game sadly comes second.
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has a new paintball mod in the works which aims to restore classic CoD multiplayer, if you’re tired of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2
Marvel’s Avengers, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Bloodborne earn top spots across PS5, PS4, and PC.
Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!
I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have
Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and more are also on sale.
I'm usually the last person to defend Call of Duty but Black Ops 3 does actually let you play as a female character, both in the campaign and in multiplayer. That's a massive step forward, I think.
I dont mind as long as its optional. I personally I have no desire to play as a woman.
So it's not Same 'ol same yearly release using the same engine and gameplay formula since the first modern warfare that bothers this guy, but the fact that you can't play as a female lead?? Really??.... Smh... I'm sure all the female soldiers out there fighting on the battlefield with the men would totally agree you with..... If they existed... And no, I'm not counting the military office workers, but actual female soldiers physically fighting the war ;-)
No they don't. They need to do whatever they want.
No they dont, not if its for the sake of it. If a developer has a great story to tell for a female lead then 100% go for it.
But i hate when i see articles like this that just say devs have to include women in there for the sake of it.
