Games with only male characters.

[Chaosian]

To bring up the example of Metro 2033 again, while it does have female characters, there is a single named female character, the prostitute Nikki, and only two female characters with subtitled lines. Last Light brings that to a total of 2 named female characters, one of which is in the supporting cast as a love interest.
I guess it's better than the first book though, which I believe has a grand total of 2 direct spoken lines by a female (bit) character.

I certainly wouldn't consider myself femminist, but I found that as a series of really odd narrative decisions.

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

I distinctly remember murdering a maid in that game...

Also, 1337 posts! I don't think this is the thread in which I envisioned this milestone taking place.

Well, I guess teenage me was too distracted shooting people's limbs off and watching the great animations.

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.

Ah, my bad. That'll learn me for making assumptions about games I don't normally play.

Almost any WWII military shooter: the first 3 Call of Duties at least.

Pretty sure 2 or 3 had female member of the French resistance.

Check it out. I found the ulterior motive behind this thread.

Also, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a 10 year old game. How long do you think feminists have been around for? Genuine question.

Please, we all know - because we've all been told many times over to the extent that it seems a tad suspicious - it's 'modern' feminists who are the pernicious/terrifying issue, and so I suppose a decade's more than enough time for that virulent sect to have arisen from the shadows.

Other than sometimes my XCOM squads, is there any game with only female characters, and no men? I wonder how many games dev'd primarily or exclusively by women feature worlds with only their own gender present, or overtly prioritised.

Out of the games on my PC:
Oddworld. (Maybe, it's hard to tell)
Pony Island. (Ditto)
Quake. (Although it's just your dude and eldritch nasties)
Ski Free.

On the flipside, these are the games I own with only female characters:
Analogue: A Hate Story. (Provided AI can be considered female)
Her Story.

I just finished playing Resistance 2 on the PS3. I don't think there were female voices even in the radio. The first game has one female character.

The only ones I can think of are Metroid II: The Return of Samus (if we treat Ridley as male, that invalidates most Metroid games from being female-only) and maybe some Tomb Raider games.

Any number of SNES games.

Good Troop
The Lion King
Mickey's Magical Quest
Pinocchio
Looney Tunes B-Ball

PS What was the point of this.

You say that, but given the penises can give birth...

They...W... What?

...Listen man, shit gets weird in that game when you play it co-op.

Shit gets really weird.

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

Yep, if I'm not mistaken Call of Duty Finest Hour has a voiced female sniper character and CoD 2 has female NPCs in some of the Russian levels. I can't remember if WaW does or not

 

[heartily24]

It'd be challenging to think of one. Though the ones that have already been mentioned above would be agreeable. +1 to Tetris though.

 

[Morgoth780]

I think star wars Republic commando didn't have any female characters in it. Been a while since I've played it though.

Minecraft?

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

nope all characters in Minecraft are hermaphrodites

Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2.

Although that is not entirely true; while all the guests have the same face, one I'd call male if I had to choose, if one chooses the option having them named people's names instead of having them named "guest #1", "guest #2" etc. some get women's name.

It wouldn't surprise me if The Escapists(no relation to this website) and Prison Architect also fulfills the criteria; I haven't watched enough let's plays of those titles to tell.

in prison architect there is a female warden and the option to run a female prison.

Prison Architect has some ladies in the cutscenes. At least one murder victim.

I mean, I don't know if background decorations count in this "discussion", but...

 

[the December King]

The original STALKER protagonist was a woman BTW.

Do you have a link to that?

 

[cleric of the order]

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

I think gz doom mixes up with that, you can play as a female now i think.
then again, i'm not too sure what sex if any the demons have so we can't be too sure
I swore wolfenstein had a female boss but honestly with GZdoom, and the full mouse aim + wasd and just being GZ doom, i can't go back to inferior fps

 

[CaitSeith]

Only 2 games!? What? Haven't you ever played the original Doom or Wolfenstein 3D? For being a FPS fan, I didn't expect that.
