Video Games and the Female Audience

I was watching a video by Moviebob on gaming and race and I was wondering if there was a vid on gaming & women. Thank you for providing that for us all. Leigh, Daniel, Thank YOU!

I'm female. (honestly) Which RE is your favorite? I think RE 5 and RE4 are such a marketing ploys since a lot of the classic things from the other games even the menus were pushed aside for an easily marketable game (for guys). Sheva's tribal outfit makes that pretty clear.

I think RE 4 is the best! Leon!!!!!

ahahha he equals WoW to serious gaming, this whole analysis is a fail

besides I just want to blow shit up and not interact with women, if I wanted to talk to one I would go to the kitchen

I really enjoyed the part about the girls that just use video games to flaunt their stuff. Like the Suicide Girls or UltraNeko. Most of those girls fail at gaming. But they look slutty so we are just suppose to be ok with it?

i hope you dont mind me asking, but what drew you to mainstream gaming?

well my dad was a mega lara fan and when i was about 7 he gave me his old PS1 along with his collection of games my eyes litteraly lit up! i completed tr1 when i was 9 (I stopped for a bit .. i was scared of the dinosaurs :P) and after that i just loved it! now i wait eagerly for the new games to come out! I told my friends i loved playing cmputer games and they just looked at me like i should be locked away in a padded cell ! they'll come around :D

this problem is complex. i have no probelm with women gamers, i encourage it, but i count myself as a hardcore gamer a group rarely mentioned in this argument i play every kind of game from my old sega to puzzlers, racing fps etc. and i agree a cut back on the insanly sexy women is is order but they should also have there place. the real problem is how do you continue to satisfy the core gamers, whilst also allowing an inlet from casual, i tryed wii i found unsatisfying unchallenging and boring

The hardcore development doesn´t necessarily have to decrease only because the number of casual games increase. I think there are developers out there who will not stop making hardcore games only because women are a now a part of the culture. Like he said, there are already gaming girls who like these, and changing the games too much might give more people, but also probably drop shitloads in the part that already is gaming.
