Perhaps Hemingway has previously looked at the demographics on the previous game or other FPS and noticed that the majority of players are male and therefore assumes that women are less likely to have played one before? Like Schadrach is saying there are a potential infinite number of ways that...

Well lets be honest here there's a reason that sometimes women aren't on the gaming radar and that is because throughout gamings history the biggest demographic in the industry was men. Games aren't like music or cinema in which there was an instant universal appeal. For the longest time video...

You should realise I'm not the target group that your last comment was aimed towards? Also you'll have to factor in that your comment was in text with no other way for me to discern it since there is no way to discern inflection via text? So when I read your comment I could only take it...

You do realise that with your final statement you're being just as ignorant as you claim others are? I'm sure there are many caucasian, 16-24 year old, middle class men who have been treated differently because of their position. You're doing it right now when you assume that they have never...

They're both actually, the DOA series was orginally developed by Tomonobu Itagaki with inspration from both Fatal Fury and Mortal Kombat, DOA is essentially a mish-mash of various things in order to attract as large a market as possible. To quote the man himself: "I wanted to do...

Are you really complaining about stereotypical plots in a tournament fighter of all things? Really? Your entire argument seems to be, 'These characters have inappropirate figures and clothing and I personally find that wrong'. There's nothing here to suggest that the DOA series has had any...

Ok where to begin, I'll start off with arguably the two main characters, Kasumi and Helena. Kasumi was brought up by the Mugen Tenshi clan as the second born, she loves her brother Hayate and her best friend Ayane, this however goes south when Ayane finds out she is Kasumis half sister and...

Well I'm going to call foul here, the game and the characters all do have their own plot which of course centers around the Dead or Alive tournament, it's even safe to say that throughout the games the female cast have generally beenthe main protagonists (Helena and Kasumi mostly). Just because...

Ok colour me confused once again but how exactly does a game with big breasted women create a hostile enviroment for female gamers? Does it create a slightly negative one? Maybe if the game ends up making you feel uncomfortable but there are many other games to play and really I think that a...

Actually can I ask why this is a problem at all? So there are some games where women are fetishised and oversexualised and reduced to cliches and stereotypes and as are male characters but what is the problem? I guess this is what I don't understand, do women believe that men will use this as a...

Oh yes the Sisters of Battle know how to get shit done, like having their blood be excellent anti-demon lubricant for the Grey Knights. Seriously though why does it seem that people are suprised that a DOA game of all games has a focus on breasts? The DOA series isn't awful but lets be honest...

Well of course women existed back in those days but they weren't even close to the numbers of female gamers there are now. Also to answer your question yes, generally that group dislike anyone new who starts and creates classifications as to why they suck e.g. 'They have a Space Marine...

You know, the more I read these articles and posts about the debate about sexism in gaming the more I think that they all miss the key point about what the underlying issue is under the sexism and that is to a lot of men who play video games or any other 'nerdy' hobby such as Wargaming, Tabletop...

Well I agree and yet disagree with the points brought up in this video. I do dislike the prequel trilogy but I was always going to dislike the prequel trilogy since it is a prequel, there was no way to answer any questions ("What were the clone wars?" "What were the Jedi Knights like?" "What was...

Well the thing is rejecting someone no matter what you do will always lead to hurt feelings, when saying saving their feelings I meant saying something like 'Oh I would but I need to spend time on studying right now' or 'I don't want to hurt our friendship.' I know personally that when women do...
