ITT: strong female characters who are actually written well.
ur mom
>>345005067
Cortana, back before Halo 4 and 5 made her a fucking loony with a very, very detailed female body for a hologram.
The Boss, of course. First obvious pick.
![latest[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7kfWPww.jpg "latest[2].jpg")
Pretty obvious one here.
>>345005067
>literally who
>>345005545
Stay butthurt
>>345005782
Autistically jumping on "Who is this?" with a screenshot of the sales would show that you're butthurt not that guy
I pick Kat because she actually looks, speaks and behaves as a soldier. That means she is well written.
She does not look like bitch with long ass haircut and a ton of cosmetic. What the fuck, 343?
Why Vale looks like this? If a man works in IT or if he is a barber he will probably not have a huge muscles, he could even have long hair. But if a man is a soldier he will have short or no hair and a very fit body. It's called logic, elementary logic.
>>345006206
>that guy
lol
Main villain from a popular game isn't a literally who, retard.
>>345006495
People just don't know who that slut is, deal with it.
>>345006839
Quit using your memes incorrectly, reddit.
>>345005067
>strong female characters
>written well
yeah right
name ONE game where there is a strong female protagonist that doesnt talk.
>>345007708
You ever heard of Metroid?
>>345005067
Augustine was a horrible fucking character. What the fuck have you been smoking?
>>345007708
>name ONE game where there is a strong female protagonist that doesnt talk.
?
>>345005067
But she was crap. Everyone in SS was.
>>345005461

>>345005067
>>345010818
I'm gonna climb Eiger and grab her by the horns!
>>345005067
No one in infamous 3 was written well.
>>345012290
Chell doesn't count as a character. Other than the very tiny amount of backstory in Portal 2 that you could have easily missed, there's nothing defining her as an individual. She's what Metroid detractors like to pretend Samus Aran is.
>>345012548
Yeh I guess. Great games though!
>>345012548
wtf? the chell was a lie?
Clemantine is fantastic though
>>345005461
>written well
>>345012916
She does a LOT of stupid things in S2.
I know people might disagree but I think Lightning is great
>>345012916
>Goes on to solve everybodies' problems and walk off bullets at the prime age of 12
>>345013201
Omg right the amount of times where I'd want to do something but it wasn't in the options. I'd be be all "c'mon that's so obvious!"
>>345006326
Fuck Kat, how can someone be so bad at driving.
>>345013363
Telltale railroading is very painful.
Then there's these three
>>345009475
mah space nigga
>>345006326
I like Kat but what is this post
It reads like a meme.
>>345013480
Tomb Raider - Lara
TLOU - Ellie
Beyond: Two Soals - Jodie
>>345012290
She has nice feet
>>345013480
>Laura Craft
>well-written
Lol no. In cutscenes she's wimpy and over emotional and in gameplay she's The Terminator. That's not good writing when the gameplay clashes with the narrative like that.
>>345013651
haha omg I didn't even notice that xdddd
>>345013731
>gameplay clashes with the narrative like that
Is there a word or phrase that describes this? I feel like there is or should be.
I thought both were really well written
>>345013731
true true. but rise of the tomb raider though
>>345013804
Yeh. It's 'Ludo-narrative disonance'
>>345005067
How the fuck was she well-written? She was easily one of the most forgettable atagonists in vidya.
>>345013906
What is she like in the new one?
>>345013873
Yeh they were. Doesn't change the fact that Chloe is such a bitch though haha
>>345005067
>augustine
>hurr durr best way to keep mutants safe is to keep them in jail
>btw I'm also a mutant with loli issues
>well written
>>345005067
why does strong female = leaving behind your femininity and becoming a man, and doing well in roles in which men do well, showing no sign of weakness
this "stronk womyn" meme needs to die, we need more realistic and interesting (you could say ******diverse*****) portrayals of women, whether they're stay-at-home moms, bartenders, or coal miners.
This cutie
>>345014087
I'd probably be an asshole too if my life was as messed up as hers.
>>345014062
Pretty much the same, but at least she's more consistent.
Thing I hated about the first one was how she was SO upset the first time she kills someone, then literally after the cutscene is done you start killing a shit tonne of guys like it's no biggy.
>>345014192
*sigh* I dunno...... ask Anita?
>>345013201
doing stupid things doesn't mean you're not a strong character. Having flaws strengthens the character actually
>>345013906
>Yeh. It's 'Ludo-narrative disonance'
sounds about right, thanks
>>345014547
Well said :)
She starts off a crazy women who "Falls in love" with Solid Snake. But her four minute monologue shows that she's just someone so dead inside, so apart from the rest of the world that she can't connect with. She was an outsider amongst the Kurds, her father figure and people were killed and she found no thrill. She joined up with the son of her father figure, only to discover that he's a pale angry immitation. She finds a pretty good copy in solid snake, but only realises this as she dies. She doesn't fall in love with anyone in the end
I'll never forgive bungie for forgetting her
>>345009531
SS was shot, but she was pretty good. She had a clear motivation and was quite ruthless carrying out. She was the only good thing about that game.
>>345006326
Reminder that all of team noble died in ironic deathsI love kat
>>345014774
Eh, I wouldn't want a modern anything of Oni. These days, it'd just become shit.
>>345005067
>>345014725
Why did you reply to me in such a way?
>>345014107
Whatever the fuck happened to this guy's game?
Kerrigan in Starcraft 1 and Brood War
>>345014774
>Smashing a PS2
Is this a tacit acknowledgement that the PS2 controls for Oni were absolute shit?
>>345014913
I'd rather they at least try to make something close. Maybe not a remake or anything because it'd never match up, but at least put some effort in instead of more fucking Destiny expansions.
>>345014913
Too true
god
DAMN IT
>>345015036
ended being worse than the first 2
Classic Front Mission was the best.
>>345015064
>but at least put some effort in
A huge amount of the recent games (say 10 years) would be great, if effort would've been put in.
So...
>>345009475
mah space nigga
>>345015184
They're all good. Especially 5's mechanics although I love how simple 3's was.
>>345013873
Agreed.
>>345005747
best one in the thread
>>345013208
Serah and Fang from her own trilogy were better written and more multifaceted.
>>345014212
>their faces
jesus
>>345007708
Zelda
>>345013643
Beyond Two Souls had terrible writing and she was the writing trainwreck epicentre.
>>345015592
It's an old game now anon
>women
>strong
>>345005782
it doesn't even look like her in game model. i thought it was something from that republique game.
>>345007708
You mean Chell?
>>345016254
It's almost as if these women are exceptional and not representative of their entire gender.
I liked Amanda's arc in Peace Walker.
>>345005067
Pretty poor example. Also, her boss fight was an absolute joke. How the fuck did they go from the GOAT boss that was Kessler and that pretty good ending sequence of the second game to her? You literally just move to opposite sides of the room and over and over while blasting her.
>>345007708
Gina/Prisoner 849 from Unreal.
She only speaks in the ambigously canon expansion pack not made by the original devs.
>>345017075
> written well
The sarcheesian trope. Nice try.
>>345013127
Of all the bullshit characters in the franchise she is the least fucked up though, she did her mission and wasn't butthurt in the least, nor was she a crazed idealist who would rather destroy civilization than admit to being wrong
>>345017201
What even happened to her anyway? Did she also die offscreen? Also what about the french girl?
>>345018321
You find out in Ground Zeroes.
>>345014192
This obnoxious and blunt approach to female characters has backfired and now i just don't want to see them at all.
Give me more games like Stalker where women are nowhere to be found.
>>345018681
I don't remember it
>>345014192
Post strong moms anon.
It doesn't exist.
Strong = manly atribute.
>>345005067
>the most intimidating character in Halo is a one armed 66 year old woman
>>345020668
>she's simultaneously your mother ,your god and your most despised creature out there in the universe
>>345014192
Femininity is a buzzword just like "strong female" has no real meaning, though.
>>345009148
Other M kinda killed it for Samus
>>345022424
Ignore Other M.
>>345014192
What? Wanting to see a wider variety of portrayals of women that don't just focus on making them do masculine things and instead proving women can be strong and well-written no matter what they do?
FUCKING SJW GB2/REDDIT/!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>345015518
Fang is not interesting or well written. Serah and Vanille are the most interesting ladies in the trilogy and Sazh, Noel, Caius, and Hope are the most interesting guys
>>345022905
calm your tits
>>345015517
>Jan
My nigga
I miss playing those games, and her FMV's were well acted as well.
>>345014192
It doesn't? The some of the most commonly flaunted strong female characters like Jade, Alyx, Jill, etc. are distinctly feminine in looks, personality, or both.
Any umineko-fags here?
>>345029768
Magic doesn't exist.
This one
>>345030294without love it cannot be seen
Elena from Uncharted
Visas Marr from Kotor 2
Sis from Alpha Protocol
Phi from Virtue's Last Reward
Morrigan from Dragon Age Origins
>>345015592
???
come on, they don't look that bad
>>345015592
What's wrong with 'em? Not kawaii enough?
>>345031229
Not gonna lie, I'd care for W40K a lot more if it had moe girls like that.
>>345031961
I'm sure you would, you heretic

Cute girls can improve pretty much anything. Scientific fact.
Also that reminds me of Gally somehow.
>>345032876
>Cute girls can improve pretty much anything.
Even grimdark?
>>345033436
Hey, you posted it.
Here's a mildly obscure character that doesn't get brought up much
>confronts creator demigod that just wants to be loved
>literally tells him to fuck off and kills him to save the manslave she sexually assaults earlier in the game
>>345006326
she also got a phat ass, shame she took a needle through the skull
>>345005067
>>345016543
>confirmed for not playing the game at all
>>345013208
English dub script makes her shallow as fuck, but Japanese Lightning is actually a really good character.
>>345033436
i'm still wondering what that sex scene looked like through someone else's eyes. he was basically banging the flying spaghetti monster.
>>345005067
>strong female characters
Do people still use this expression? I thought it was dropped a few years back when people realized nobody could agree on what it meant.
>>345038406
Strong woman, strong tits
