But games have been "better" a long time,Blake. There are games like The Last Of Us,Beyond Good And Evil,Mirror's Edge,Remember Me,Alice, Madness Returns,Tombraider (Okay,this one is debatable but personally I like new Lara better than old Lara. She's finally more "human" to me.) Portal 2,Metroid (as a collective series), and Walking Dead by Telltale. (In which Clementine eventually became the main character.) To me perhaps the saddest thing is not all these games sell very well or are advertised very well. I did not even know about Beyond Good And Evil until I had a 360. That's just well,wrong! Why don't these games get better publicity? Sure, some of them do. But not nearly enough of them.
If I had the ability to make a difference I'd make sure good games with female protagonists got just as much commercial hype as Call Of Duty and Destiny.
But again I must stress it's okay for gaming to have its' sexy and violent grind house equivalent too. Just so long as that is not all there is.....
PS: And thanks for the video youtube recommends. Can already tell by the titles I'll probably end up agreeing a lot! (Though not all of it)
