I hope they include an online 4p co-op campaign mode that lets each person be a different member of the team. That would seal the deal for me.

Here's the thing, though: new Zelda and new Starfox and Smash Bros are exciting to you and me, but these are not the games that will break through to the audience that the Wii found in the '00s. It's looking increasingly like most of those players have moved on, perhaps to arranging candy to make it disappear. Going…

Then you are a big part of the problem, and don't even realize it.

Glad they were able to say that, I don't understand why people watch streams of random people. Twitch has no use for me personally, and don't think there are any competitive like games on wii u that would need there to be streaming.

Imagine being a really big fan of video games. That's not hard to do, I'm sure, since you're here.

But now, imagine an alternate universe where every single video game has a female protagonist. Tall, short, blond, brunette, fat, thin, over-muscled, heroic, villainous. Just your average Jane trying to get by, or the…

I wonder what would happen if you couldn't play as a Straight White Man in a video game. Correction, if you couldn't play as one in ALL video games

As a female gamer, STFU. Skipping out on a female character is just a copout this day and age. And to follow it up with a lame excuse just pours salt on an already festering wound in the gaming world. I already skip a lot of games that don't provide a character I can relate too. And in many cases that would be a…

"Privilege is seeing yourself as a default that everyone can relate to while making no attempt to relate to others in different circumstances."

Wouldn't the hair be under the hood, though?

Fake? If new games all had female protagonists and no males, you bet there'd be an outrage.

Write a character.

Maybe hire a decent writer?

So in both cases they are poorly defending their choice to keep a male lead. It would have been more acceptable if they had said that they didn't want to create two separate scenarios for a male and female leaf.

to be fair ac is popular among women gamers and when you have a squad of 4 playable characters itd be nice to have some diversity. Also apparently there actually was a woman assassin who was a figure during the french revolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte…

People aren't mad because Assassin's Creed doesn't have women, they're mad because Ubisoft lied about how difficult it would be to add women. I think the Far Cry 4 team was more honest, and I can't see them receiving the same blow back. I'd bet a couple bucks that Far Cry 5 has women, as conciliatory as that sounds.

Well I'm bored of people like you seeming to think that not representing 51% of the population and 49% of gamers is a good idea.

If you are going to write a game promoting historical and social experiences, is it really that big a stretch to ask for the inclusion of a female POV?

Look, if you don't want to have female assassin because of creative reasons that's perfectly ok. Just don't come out and tell me you have a multi-million dollar videogame that's being made collectively by 8 Ubisoft Studios from around the world who have the time to painstakingly create a huge and detailed Paris filled…

Yep, and it will be a game exclusive to a Nintendo console. Nintendo will outlast them all. It's what they do.
