Oh yeah, love the music remix choice, always wanted to see that paired with an action sequence.

I would pre-order it out of sheer delight in their smackdown press conference, but my money is still for other things until futher notice (had to get the car fixed today; costed about a PS4; my student loan interest has probably gone up again as well) and last generation, which I stayed out of completely so far has taught me a lesson from afar: don't buy a new console at launch.

That "only red ring is the circle button" ad Sony has is very clever in that regard, but should I really trust a verion 1.0?

Ashamedly, I have never seen Road Warrior. But yeah, Mel's dad seems to have put a lot of stupid shit in his head he probably had to fight with his whole life. I honestly think he needs therapy more than anything.That's a toxic mindset/environment to grow up in. Meanwhile, he should probably be kept away from certain groups of people. Like any non-therapist person. And let's hope that person is a white Catholic so he doesn't try to kill them outright.

Yeesh. Sad to think about.

I have not pre-ordered one, but Amazon in general has been a good service for me, typically things arrive on time in good condition.

And in all honesty, I will just stop talking, because I am having to base all of this on limited data, because I don't know what the demos would look like broken down into genres and game series, etc. so I am speaking from a hypothetical context. I'm just laying out how I feel about "what if" situations.

I think so too, but not necessarily as the main protagonists. I think they're sidelined in several genres that have a main storyline as one of the major draws. But it's great to see Remember Me and other games actually built around a female protagonist, and there's definitely more females in the market, meaning the trend will continue.

It's just that in the meantime, I can't ask a company to make a big deal out of a female protagonist if its majority market is still teenage boys that refuse to play as a "girl" (again, even if the overall market is largely women, that won't necessarily mean breaking it down to a certain genre will give you the same demo stats). Yeah, they need to grow up, but a business needs to see profits at the same time. Ideally, there will be enough female gamers and males like me who don't care and just want to be immersed in a game and story whoever I'm playing as to support more games with females as the headliner, and there will be, but if Sledgehammer Sludge 42 or whatever has a 93% male fanbase, I'm not going to cry foul when it's a guy on that box, either.

Oh yes. I want this. As a non-JRPG gamer, but one who's always loved how amazing the FF series looked, and wanted to see what these stories were that got people so invested, this is right up my alley!

And I agree that labeling a genre a "guy" or a "girl" game is sexist, as obviously both can play and enjoy the playing style, I was just saying from a business standpoint, you would need to make sure there is a market before building a game around a female protagonist. But in any case, throwing the option to play as one can't hurt.

Edit [7:24pm CST]: Of course, males not being douchebags online could also help the FPS female population grow. http://www.fpsguru.com/article/132

That's exactly what I mean though. If that many women play Left 4 Dead, and they're the primary purchasers, then definitely throw in more female protagonists.

Oddly enough, Killer Instinct was the game that most excited me, but no way am I buying a One to play it, especially not now.
