Well, the old DooM games come to mind. You know, the originals from the 90s. And Wolfenstein 3D as well. I think.

I think the old Contra game counts and some other retro games aswell.

Nothing really comes to mind (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC probably would've done, as that always felt like an odd detail of the world, which made it that little bit more boring[footnote]Note: I still mostly loved the game, and its negatives were more fundamental than genders of NPC's.[/footnote]).

But can I ask what the point of the thread is? You say "discuss", but discuss what - referencing things? There's no discussion in that, something either conforms or it doesn't.

Fifa. Also I guess the old Soldier of Fortune didn't have any women? I can't remember.

Edit:

I'm sure the first Age of Empires didn't even have female villagers.

Also Half-Life? I think every guard was the same and they had maybe 3 different scientists, all guys if I'm remembering right.

I think if STALKER happen today. it would be eaten alive by feminist and SJW crowd for not having a female character.

Metro 2033 come to mind too (last light have anna who is artyom wife).

I'm a feminist and I don't believe I tried to 'eat it alive' [or dead], then or now...

You still didn't answer my question, though, regarding what on Earth we're supposed to "discuss". Or is that it? Some games had zero female characters and would be torn apart by feminists, even though that's not true?

Though a game presenting a world minus one gender will always be a bit daft (for very obvious reasons), unless the story justifies it.

Metro 2033 come to mind too (last light have anna who is artyom wife).
It's been years since I last played it, but I'm pretty sure Metro 2033 had female NPC's in [http://www.onlinekeystore.com/images/D/ss_7960a2af1aaf843c19161e6fe9353a0c307d704d.1920x1080.jpg]...

Nope. Atleast one of them had a female sniper as a protagonist.

Metro 2033 had female NPCs all over the place dude. Some of them even had voice lines.

That game sucked. The feminists completely ruined it.

Okay, I'm not sure what there is to discuss exactly - games with only male characters. That's hardly unusual. Finding a game with only female characters would be an actual challenge.

But fine, off the top of my head (it's a long list)

-The majority of Army Men games

-Every Battlefield game prior to Bad Company

-The majority of WWII Call of Duty games (Final Fronts is an exception), probably quite a few of the more modern ones as well (e.g. Modern Warfare, Ghosts. etc.)

-Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (huh - most CnC games have at least one female character in them, even if they're used as eye candy in Red Alert)

-Every Doom game prior to Doom 64 (if you include the Mother Demon, otherwise we have to wait until Doom 3)

-Half-Life (the original)

-Jurassic Park (the original)

-The Lion King

-The first two Myth games (I think)

-The majority of Sonic games prior to Sonic Adventure, with the exception of Sonic CD, Sonic Drift 1/2, and Sonic the Fighters

-The first Spyro the Dragon (I think?)

-Warcraft I/II (Alleria appears in Beyond the Dark Portal, so there is that - I don't think Garona actually appears in WC1, only in the backstory)

-Alien vs. Predator (PC)

-Another World

-Metal Arms

-Awesome Possum

-Duke Nukem (as in, actual female CHARACTERS, not eye candy)

-Flappy Bird

-Most Quake games (Quake Champions is an exception, maybe Quake III has females, not sure)

-Toy Story

-Jungle Book

-Most Medal of Honour games

-Early Wolfenstein games

-Early Contra games

-Early Metal Slug games (I think?)

-Counter-Strike (there are female hostages in one campaign mode or something, but they barely count)

-Team Fortress (unless you include Miss Pauling, but she doesn't appear in the actual game IIRC)

That list gets even longer if you take away female characters that only exist to be saved (e.g. Mario, the first Crash Bandicoot, etc.)

So, what to discuss? Um, that female characters have traditionally been under-represented in games? I certainly agree there, but having gone over a list of medias I'm familiar with, the trend does seem to be getting better. I don't believe in enforcing quotas, but, well, I can't deny that a lot of these games listed are/were sausage fests.

The original Half Life had the female black ops enemies.

Modern Warfare had that female helicopter gunship pilot. She gets shot down and you have to rescue her.

Admittedly I haven't played Half-Life, but I'm not sure if they could be called "characters." A character usually requires some level of characterization/identity. If they do count as characters, then Counter-Strike would have to be removed from the list as well.

Minecraft?

Female animals for breeding don't count, because they don't retain anything and any two animals can breed.

NHL game.
One can have a "Create-A-Pro" female character in the EA NHL games going back to the 2014 one or so. IIRC in the 2014 edition when they added it, the 360 version had a bug forcing your character to be female lol.

Not having female characters wasn't why the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games were great, in my opinion. On the other hand, I didn't really miss them, either.

And oh my god, thinking back on it, weren't they fucking ridiculous? I mean, I remember them being unfairly fast and accurate. Like, they teleported and shit!
