Comments on: The 7 Best Female Videogame Characters http://questtonowhere.com/?p=229 Videogame and Comic talk, and other Misc Writing Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:27:59 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Michael Moore http://questtonowhere.com/?p=229&cpage=1#comment-367 Michael Moore Sun, 10 Jan 2010 04:14:13 +0000 http://questtonowhere.com/?p=229#comment-367 I had toyed with the idea of including Zoey, but felt there were stronger candidates then her. She probably would have made it if it were a top 10. I excluded because I haven't really played any of the Tomb Raider games, and thus don't completely know how her character is. My feelings on her at the moment would more likely put her on the worst female characters list since she's got boobs so big they could stop bullets, but considering her line of work would likely be a huge detriment. Also she has a lot of daddy issues if I remember correctly, but maybe if I played them I'd have a different opinion. Lita, like Lara, is more likely to have ended up on the worst list. Lita is a strong chick, but the problem is she never takes charge herself. She's always second fiddle to her brother or to Eddie. She does "take charge" at the end, but its pretty much because Eddie gave it to her, not because she took it for herself. She also comes off as catty (for lack of a better term,) with Ophelia. As if Ophelia is somehow a threat to her, or her relationship with Lars. I had toyed with the idea of including Zoey, but felt there were stronger candidates then her.

Even when I'm not that fond of the Street Fighter series, I do know there is a hole deal of respect to be had at the characters, especially the women. Now, what I liked the most was the inclusion of Faith and the exclusion of Lara Croft, which I know seems a little cliche for the times but still hold it as a reality. Likewise, I also liked you cleared room for this game characters by not minding The Final Fantasy series or Dead or Alive for that matter. And finally, the characters I would've liked to see in this list (and totally understand why they aren't) Zoey from Left 4 Dead, wich does kick ass from my gaming experience; Alessa from the original Silent Hill because given the story she goes through a great ordeal and afterwards becomes quite strong and finally I would've liked to see Lita Halford from Brütal Legend who is the queintesential heavy metal queen complete with an attitude and tattos.
