Best main female character in a game?

hotness != greatness. If I wanted a hot videogame character I'd dump into this thread the fighter list from the DOA series.

Hotness can add to the greatness. A great female character has to be attractive plus have an interesting personality.

That is all.
 
I neither need not want every female character in the media I consume to give me an erection. In fact, I'd prefer that they be more intellectually provocative, like The Boss is, rather than yet another grossly proportioned lingerie model cobbled together in 3DS Max by fat, sweaty, pale manchildren for consumption by the same.

I know it's just joking, but she doesn't have any personality. What is she about? What does she want? Who is she loyal to? What are her goals?

Basically the answer to every question is "I KILL METROIDS". There is nothing to her character, Duke Nukem is a more complicated guy.

I never thought I'd say this, but play Fusion. She goes into that a bit. Who she is loyal to, etc.

Refusal to accept that anything but a sex symbol could be a real women? You can't be over 12.

I'm 29. Video games are fantasy. Applying real life sensibilities to a game is boring.

Your hatred must have shrunken your testicles.

Not if you care about the art form, but hey! how many copies of DOA XVB do you own?

Haha, artform. I only own 1 copy. It was a great game. Very relaxing. Anybody who thinks a little T&A will ruin the "artform" needs to grow some balls (or stop being jealous of some polygons depending on which sex).

The Boss will give you some of that if you play till the end of the game if that's all you want.

I'll pass. I think I'm just pissed that there has been no really attractive females in MGS. The males are, the rugged good looks of Snake and pretty boy Raiden....not that I'm gay or anything.

Hell no. My most anticipated game is Animal Crossing for the DS. Thats about as non sexual as you can get.

Hey, a little T&A is fine. I don't mean to say it isn't, just when you are looking for upstanding portrayals of the female specimens there's more to it than a DD bust. Understand?

All women don't have to have big breasts you know.. one can look beautiful without big breasts.

That was a joke. I've had girlfriends who were and oogled small breasted women.

Well it was a bit hard to appriciate her beauty with the PS1 graphics at the time.

Eva's in MGS3

You'd probably like her, she's like those women in spy movies that use their sex appeal to con men out of stuff. Really cool character, but nowhere near as good as the Boss.

Agreed. An attractive character gets your attention long enough so that you care to learn about them.

Anyone arguing against Samus hasn't played Fusion ---- She actually has dialogue and narration throughout, you feel pretty bad when she gets dicked over in the game too. And there's plenty of 'hints' into her past....

Also Zero Mission highlights some interesting tid-bits on her childhood :p

Samus is a great character, she just doesn't go into some hour-long monologue about her "dark mystery rogue past" ---- Things are presented minimally throughout the franchise for players that don't need every piece of information spoon-fed to them.

I agree it's nice having story being presented to you without being spoon-fed with it...BUT I think the Metroid games are generally more like the opposite of that, meaning they barely feed you with anything at all (unless you want to sit and interpret and analyze all the subtle clues and whatnot). I mean, I doubt the games would hurt from a more obvious approach in the ways Samus and the storyline are presented...without actually being spoon-fed with it. Even though the storyline in Fusion was forced onto the player, I thought it was really good and made the game more interesting. I want more Metroid games with the same substance in storyline and cutscenes, but perhaps integrated better with the game and with better pacing.

That's what I like about her. I played through metroid 1 when I was a wee lad and didn't know it was a girl until the end. That was awesome to figure out back then.

They should make a metroid where you don't play as Samus, but it never tells you until you beat it. Then you're left with a picture of a dude in a speedo over looking a barren planet.

Seriously, though. I don't mind super hot chicks in games, but I'd prefer it if they weren't so hot. Mainly because it draws in a retarded, greasy audience, and then the developers decide to concentrate more on boobs than gameplay, and so on.
