Why does this tag exist?

Why does this tag exist?

because it describes a certain part of the game and some people care about that.

I like ass and tits

It denotes a game that goes against the majority

Pandering to SJWs or horny 12 year olds depending on attractiveness

lets me know what games are shit

"Protagonistess" is not a word, and english is too underdeveloped to specify sex of object in question using parts of word, not pronouns.

Why does this tag exist?

Because male protagonists are so common, that they don't even need a tag. You just assume the game will have a male human. That's how boring the modern videogame is.

So homos and women can find the games they like

And women in battle thongs is such a refreshing, creative design

because there are shit and forgettable soundtracks?

I honestly don't buy a game unless that tag is present.

>you have 8 seconds to think of a game with a Female Antagonist

But it's subjective. Why isn't there a tag for "good game?"

FEAR

because there are player reviews/ratings?

gears of war
starcraft

Helps me know what games to not play.

Any game with a create-a-character feature.

Literally anything is better than the shitshow that was last generation.

>game lets you create your antagonist
awesome!

You don't like Metroid?

It's good.

It means the soundtrack is prominent in the game (and more than not really good), not some background forgettable noise like a CoD game or random real time strategy game.

For anime fags.

extensive list of tags that mean avoid this shit game:

>female protag
>indie
>pixel graphics
>story rich
>anime
>atmospheric
>kickstarter
>roguelike
>roguelite
>diverse

Tomb raider

Tomb Raider
Monster Quest IV
FF6
Unreal
Bayonetta
Metroid (although that was more of an Easter egg)
Space Channel
Bit Driller
Princess Peach for the DS

Final Fantasy 3 and 8.

Because of dumb feminists and horny losers

lets me know what games are shit

Can you read?

I don't have the article saved anymore but right now there is this ongoing fallacy where many devs think there is this giant untapped market of female gamers on Steam that doesn't actually exist.

dishonored 2

forgot the worst one "Walking Simulator"

Because the tag system is a mess because Valve workers are lazy as fuck.

Good soundtracks can enhance a game
>Mfw "shits getting real" battle music plays in Bastion or Transistor

>Posts that allow you to know the faggots who don't like playing games, but to shitpost in Sup Forums.

I literally don't listen to the music in any game. I put a podcast or other music on when I'm playing.

>playing game
>walking simulator
wut?

>female protag
Idunno, I liked Dota and Metroid
>indie
Idunno, I liked Don't Starve

>roguelite
Dungeon of the Endless is fun

Not a tag

he seems to have brain damage, better to leave him be

Why shouldn't that tag exist?

Shit. Uh. System Shock 2

Stanley Parable is no joke really fun. At least try the source demo.

>Make a character female
>this is suddenly good design

The new Spelunky isn't pixel graphics, I guess you could replace that with Isaac Rebirth but that game is flawed due to Edmund being a fucktard.

>several of those aren't even the protagonist
Hmmm

>literally nothing wrong with any of these besides anime (subjectively) and diverse (which doesn't fucking exist)
fantastic post bro

Why can't tags be useful and include things like:
>Mobile Port
>Microtransations
>30 Framerate Lock
>Unstable
>Missing Content

Big Boss doesn't deserve to be on this image.

This, like anything else Valve does these days it's purely to maximize profit and if you think otherwise you're delusional.

Racially ambiguous sales

Obviously I don't necessarily want niggs or aliens in games, but still
>not a single blonde
>not a single ginger
>not a single old man
>not a single curled hair guy
>very little variation in nose type
>rare variation in head shape (one patatoface and one slavface on lower left)
They literally all rook same.

it's there so that the meaningful doesn't appear

Well, technically, any game that is rendered on a traditional monitor uses "pixel graphics." Only shit like the vectrex don't use pixel graphics.

I miss the loli tag

Japanese games with female protagonists are patrician tier

real life

>t. bodypillow user

Shodan has no sex.

Yeah but if people followed that line of thinking literally every game would have pixel graphics so it's a moot point.

pretty good!

Made me chuckle.

Because there is legit die hard weebs loser out there that will only buy games that contain anime girls.

>more than half of those can be female
>its sexist because the box art doesn't feature a female!

>open world
>survival
>crafting
>early access
The Four Horsemen of "avoid this garbage shovelware"

Do artificial people count?

>Dead or Alive
>Virtua Fighter

I like playing games as girls more than playing games as boys. More games have male protagonists than female ones, so this tag helps me find games that cater to my tastes. Everything doesn't have to be liberal propaganda user.

some people hate women and want to avoid such games. Id be ok with that if they allowed "30 fps" tag too.

So I can find games where I play as a cute girl easily.

>"There has never been a female protagonist EVER!!!!!" - Tumblrinas
>Literally almost every single game since the 80's has had a pretty steady stream of female protagonists
>Some of the most famous games of the 90's; Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Parasite Eve, etc have all had female protagonists
>"REEEEEEEEE THOSE DON'T COUNT"

I genuinely don't get these people

Except for games on the vectex and other vector based displays. The original space invaders arcade machines were not pixel graphics.

It has a programmed gender.

No, not really.

I'm not homosexual is all

Shit I mean uncharted 3

because there are faggots who refuse to play a game unless they can play as a muscular half naked man

>no "Jewish protagonist" tag
>no "Communist protagonist" tag
>no "Asocial protagonist" tag
>no "Gypsy protagonist" tag

>diverse tag

now that's a tag to avoid

Parasite Eve is famous?

"Features a female protagonist" is not a viable metric to judge a game by. It's meaningless. You might as well say "features the color blue" as a positive

To be fair everyone I knew had it and I live in buttfuck nowhere Indiana

>roguelike tag

when will steam crack down on false advertising?

damn youre right

Who cares?

Trash genre anyway.

Every game on steam, then.

Tags aren't advertising, people are just dumb

You have ten seconds to name me a good female protagonist.

Hard mode: she cannot be sexualized for more than 5 seconds in any given game she stars in

Dante must die mode: she can't be sexualized period

Dwarf Fort mode: her game needs to have a minimum of 100 discussions on Sup Forums that don't have any porn posted

>game has parasite in the title
>female protag

Why doesn't this tag exist?

Red.
Play Transistor you nazi fuck

Go back to /nvg/, faggot

tomb raider underworld has evil lara

Faith from mirror's edge is exactly how I imagined a courier would be

because of virtue signaling.

people who search this tag don't want a main character they feel any sort of connection with, they'd rather pat themselves on the back that they bought the 'latest progressive game that has a female main character'

the kind of people who will respond, if asked what they like about a certain character.
will rattle off labels, seemingly ignoring feats and the personality of the character, coming across as actively bigoted.

these people are trash, OP

Portal
Also, Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo-Tooie

plenty of games have it in their description though

That's pretty much how it became so bastardized in the first place

Bayonetta had Jubileus.

S-ss-sSssay this in my beau-beautiful, clearly fem-m-mmmmine Fac-cc-ce, iinsect.

Could you try that again but be less of a faggot?
