I expected more in LoL too, but it's a ratio of men to women per-game, not total distribution. So if LoL has 10 million players or whatever, that's going to be more girls playing than 10 thousand playing PES.

Women down to the ugliest specimen can just shake their asses and get laid and/or drag a sex starved man wherever they want, any way they'll be busy in some social kind of way. Men need way more ways to keep themselves busy.

The only other chick I knew into MGS was into it primarily because of her ex (she keeps assuring him they might get back together and get married someday all while she fucks around with girls, so her own personal Otacon) always played it when they were together, and it's a form of nostalgia to her to collect figures and/or fawn over the art, but otherwise, she knew exactly what I was trying to do when I kept asking her which one's she's beat or which is her favorite gameplay-wise, and tried to steer the convo into a snarky "HEH YEAH I'M A FAKE NERD GIRL HUH" deal

I knew something was fucky when I told her that her current girlfriend looks exactly like Strangelove, and she thought I was talking about someone from the Kubrick movie

Even if that's true it's better than never playing MGS. MGS has attractive characters, and doesn't pander to SJW bullshit. I also like the small little details and codec calls in the series like calling otacon while staring at the model poster in the locker, and snake's nightmare.

>>332618717
It's bullshit. There have been several fairly large scale surveys (sample sizes ranging from a thousand to some 10k) that have shown that the female player base is about 10-15%. Also, I think that anyone who has played WoW can tell that the women don't make up 2/5 of the player base. 2 girls on average in an instance group? 10 girls on average in a 25 man raid? Yeah, no. I played on an RP server, which are supposed to have a higher proportion of women, but there weren't that many women even there.

I assume these ones are just badly sampled. There were big differences in the percentage of women depending on where the survey got posted (mmo champion giving a larger percentage of men, official wow forums giving a larger percentage of women, for example). So they used a place that was female dominated to advertise the survey and got that kind of result. It also happens to be behind a paywall so you can't even check the validity of the testing methodology. Most of the games on that picture come from the same source, so their trustworthiness is also questionable.

I've been playing since DMC 1 but Im married and I know at least 2 girls who love DMC earnestly. My best friend is spacially challenged though, I guess? She could not deal with the minor platforming in 4 and it's the only game she hasn't finished. I don't get it personally, but she just cannot do it.

She didn't start playing games until she was 18-20 or so and she has no ability to do anything platforming related. On the other hand, she destroys Silent Hill puzzles that I've seen /v/ cry about.

I think the more complex a game is, the less it appeals to women. That said, grand strategy games and shit like Dorf Fort are probably 99.9 percent dudes. I won't say 100 because I know only one girl who plays that shit (specifically she played Darkest Hour: HOI)
>>
>>332619818
I thought that was the only reason to play MGS
>>
>>332621126
Probably true but I love Crusader Kings and Dorf Fortress, personally.

I think it's because those games have no characters to get attached to and are really more about micromanagement and numbers than anything else. It's actually why I was surprised Starcraft is so low because there are characters in Starcraft and a more ore less linear story.

Because you're an idiot.

LoL had 27 million daily players in early 2015. With a 10% female player base, that makes 2.7 million daily players that are women.

Is everyone this fucking shitty with percentages?
>>

>>332620936
More likely, it was phrased as in "have you ever played this game" so, yet maybe quite a large number of women had played WoW for a short period of time but not continued past the 1 month trial or something.

>>332621276
It would also explain this in that a lot of girls might just be playing a little on your boyfiend's console's and then that gets counted into the research.

As a researcher in a social science field myself, you always have to look at the instrumentation and the sample.

>>332621517

That's also possible, but I'm not so sure if it would have that large an effect. It's not like trying out the game is exclusive to women, though it's probably more likely for women than for men (men making their girlfriends try the game out).

>>332621703
>it's easily a 50/50 breakdown
That's just pure delusion.
>>
>>332621634
Basically it's a BUNCH of data from many different studies clumped together so there are all kinds of inconsistencies in how the data were gathered and the type of instrumentation used.
>>
>>332621703
I can't imagine you're a statistician. You'd know the active community =/= the passive community. The vast, vast majority of LoL players never, ever engage with the community but just play it casually now and then.

The more vocal minority probably has a higher % of women.

the list is accurate for some games and inaccurate for some others. There was no global survey for those games, but instead the authors picked individual surveys for each game.

in the case of C&C, it's a survey from 2012 with a sample size of ~270 people made by some website external to EA and Westwood.

in the case of EVE, that's apparently an official stat confirmed by CCCP.

I remember in high school a girl tried to appeal to me by saying she played vidya, because she had heard I played vidya.

I shit you not, she said "I've been known to kick some ass at Call of Duty haha." I said "Oh what do you play on?"

She fucking says "Oh dunno. Just whatever console the person I'm hanging out with has."
>>
If 52% of players are women then why would we need to make it appealing to them? They seems to like it the way it is.
>>
>>332622078
The link gives no information about how the data were collected. It could have asked if the player has played LoL for over a year or for more than a certain number of hours a week that would probably exclude a lot of the casual female fanbase that's more in it to be popular/part of a community.

I can't tell because the article provides no real information on the instrumentation of the study.

A total of 1664 players took the time to answer the survey (635 only partially)! 96% of these players are male, 3% female and 1% identify themselves as other!
http://infogr.am/dota-214355163121?src=web

Okay first, there's absolutely no documentation on how people were polled. For all I know they just pinned it to the top of /r/dota.

Okay, so, I've conducted data using Reddit as a source for my populations in multiple studies BUT I was looking for specific populations (WoW players, MMO players, Childfree people, etc) .

It is fine if you're looking for a specific sample; you can use a purposive sample to gather a random sample, which I know sounds confusing. The problem is that isn't appropriate for getting a true random sample, for which I would get to get a sample from the population at large, not associated specifically with this hobby.

Fucking sluts just do it for male attention.

No, seriously, what do you want me to say? I don't care, if they enjoy those hobbies, more power to them. I just think we don't need a strict 50/50 split between sexes in every single statistic, which is what some people are trying to push across the board.

Ace Attorney is my favourite series, picking a singular game I'd say the first is my favourite because of cases 4 and 5. I have pretty generic girl tastes these days.

shit nice. Funny cause I only just started playing that last week. Up to case 5, case 4 was amazing

No, it's probably accurate. Bioware's audience is mostly wimpy nu-males who get off on "being progressive". All the gay shit makes them superfans even if they are not all gay.

My boyfriend uses and /v/ and gets mad at how much time I spend on here. He should have seen me back when /co/ was still an okay board.

I only post here when I know I dont have time to play anything. My recent Planescape play through has left me posting on /v/ only because I keep forgetting shit and feeling like Im fucking up but I can't remember what to do.

It's a small percentage but those games like Dota and LoL have like 1 million concurrent playerbase, so the actual number of women might be higher than final fantasy or diablo where the percentage is around 30%

>mfw 50% of console owners now are girls, solely because all consoles have the ability to record gameplay and stream, so now any girl can go blow $300 and start getting autistic neckbeards to throw money at them for no reason

hurray for the next gen of consoles wasting a bunch of its power on recording everything so a bunch of stupid bitches can make a living off desperate retards, not to mention forcing you all to pay for that extra cost that only girls can really use

I also used to go on /co/ pretty frequently once upon a time, only for cartoon and webcomic discussion though. I saw the uprising of MLP and Homestuck General turn into a cyclone of shit. Good memories though.

I loved Spyro to death growing up, so at least in my instance I can confirm there appears to be a trend.

I was hitting it off alright with a girl I met on OKC, and when I asked if she wanted to see meet in-person and see Deadpool for a first date when it came out (what little of her profile was littered with Marvel namedrops), she was like UH I HEARD THERE'S A RAPE JOKE IN IT SO FUCK THAT NOISE, to the point where I had to bite my tongue and link a fucking Wonkette post where they deconstructed the joke in question to gauge it's rapiness (verdict: not rapey), to where she just redirected the outrage to how it just sounds dudebro as fuck, and at that point, I kinda just went all-in and asked if a single joke is REALLY an end-all dealbreaker when it comes to indulging in an IP she likes

Apparently it is, and I "don't fucking understand at all" what it's like to have that risk running through movies, and got a bunch of outrage I'm not even gonna bother replying to, since we're probably not gonna see Deadpool as an icebreaker
>>
>>332629667
You probably shouldn't do any icebreaker with her. She sounds like a crazy cunt with some kind of weird rape baggage. Probably an uncle.

fucking loved playing RoN, AoE, AoM, HoI series, CIV 3 to 5, RA, WH : DOW and so on. I just wish I was autistic enough to play dwarf fortress with her, but I never really got into it for some reason. And I could never get her interested in EVE.

I know a couple of girls who have tried to get into Dota. It's not the playerbase that scared them off, it's the game itself. You can see that LoL has a higher percentage of female players, and that game's community is just as bad, if not even worse on some points.

Women tend to be put off by anything competitive, or anything requiring skill, because they often lack the desire to actual get good at anything, and accomplish something. Therefore, where a guy will play a game and lose, he will want to improve so that he can win, where as a woman in the same situation would give up. This also explains why the games that women are the majority in, take no skill what so ever, and are very relaxed. It also explains why they tend to be so much shit at sport, yes they are physically weaker, but they also lack a mental drive for mastery.

The word you are looking for is ambition. And this is true in the business world as well. I remember a study that looked into why there are less women with management positions and the main reason was simply because women won't ask for a raise nearly as often as men do.

A shame Warcraft 3 isn't on the list.

While dating sc2 is fairly common to come up when the woman plays games, and my sister plays fantasy games and is less concerned with genre. So rpg, tbs, 4x, as long as they're fantasy.

I could see it being anywhere between 5-25%

nah, you dont do any city building in this game.. cities grow by themselves and just serve as places that generate passengers and mail for you to transport away.

what you do is design huge railroad networks to efficiently transport dozens of goods across the map in order to keep the vast industrial production chains running.
