Beyond Good and Evil is a favorite, shame the sequel never happened.

>>1140403 >Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia >Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem >Final Fantasy VI? (It's up for debate who the actual protagonist is, but Terra is usually considered the main character of the game) >Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade >Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones >Nier: Automata >No One Lives Forever 1&2 >Perfect Dark >Persona 2: Eternal Punishment >Portal 2 >Resident Evil 2 (Remake) >Silent Hill 3 >The majority of the Metroid series

>>1140449 It’s for the best considering what Ubisoft turned into and what was shown of it. Absolute ESGslop.

Soft mode: Post a female protagonist you like you never jacked off to. I'll start.

>>1140403 Dino Crisis

Rabi-Ribi Your Turn To Die Crypt Of The Necrodancer Void Stranger Mirage Feathers

Female protags owes me sex

I think she'd be fun to sit down and have a coffee with, talk about engineering and architecture.

I like Shelly in Ion Fury.

>>1140403 This. Game's a lot better than you'd think (also free).

Does Ada count? She doesn't have any sort of a backstory, just some spy with dubious motives, no one really knows why she works for crappy bio corporations. Easy on the eyes, great with guns and kicking.

>>1140403 Classic Tomb Raider is fantastic, and the remasters were good. >>1145873 Ion Fury was also great. I actually think it's the best build engine game.

>>1145330 I'm probably less likely to jack off to a female character that I played as than one who I interacted with as a separate character.

>>1149036 What mental illness is this? Is it because it's harder to reduce a female character into a mindless objectified totem of shallow juvenile lust after you've been forced to step into her shoes and acknowledge her lived experienced?

>>1154206 >a mindless objectified totem of shallow juvenile lust Meaning someone I find attractive? Sorry, I don't speak Twitter. This is also the first time I've heard someone call not jerking off a mental illness. But yes, I suppose I see them more as a version of myself despite the gender difference than as a separate person who I might feel the urge to pursue.

>>1154400 >But yes, I suppose I see them more as a version of myself despite the gender difference See? Trans all along.

>>1154532 Sure, if I were mentally ill enough to think that identifying with a character on any level means I must try to physically become them. I also identified with Sly Cooper when I played his games. Yet somehow I haven't decided that I'm a demihuman beastkin who has the soul of a raccoon.

>>1154400 >Yet somehow I haven't decided that I'm a demihuman beastkin who has the soul of a raccoon. Not yet, anon. Not yet.

Genesis does what nintendenisis >>1146945 Sure; she has her own motivations and does shit to move the story along. Playable in 6, IIRC.

>>1140403 Shame that the sequels weren't as good.

ZX3 never fucking ever

FFX, CV3, and Haunting Ground.

>>1140403 Oni, the last good Bungie game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaHLbuq-al0

>>1155574 ZX Cradle: What happened that made its production never come to full fruition?

>>1155683 "Frightened, attractive horror game protagonist girl in her teens or early 20s" is one of my favorite types of woman.

>>1155854 ZXA's lack of popularity and sales, as usual

>>1155683 Haunting Ground was a pretty good game. Used to play it back and forth with my brother around the time it came out.

>>1155733 Its a cool game, hopefully it gets a bit more popular as people continue to dissect the leaked source code. The leaked code has some dummied out level editor and part of the multiplayer functionality, But it probably would be better to write something from scratch then try and restore functionality to them.

Marfusha: Sentinel Girls and it's sequel Snezhinka: Sentinel Girls 2 I hope these girls get a happy ending by the end of this series but with how fucked their world is it's unlikely

>>1155733 You don't hate modern Bungie enough.

Metroid. Other M didn't happen.

>>1161861 lmao what a fucking potato >>1157407 I'm eager to play it again. Haven't touched it since it was new.

I dunno if I'm in the minority but I enjoyed Echoes of Wisdom.

>>1164700 It's true. I transitioned into a blue hedgehog after playing Sonic.

>>1144848 Maya on the cover of Eternal Punishment looked so fucking sexy in all black and that faceless expression. in-game she's too annoying and retarded and too energetic and positive. also a pedo

>>1145713 She kinda thicc

>>1145291 I don't get why they changed things so drastically for the sequel. The only way anyone would know it's related to the firsy one is the anthro animals.

>>1140403 Touhou

>>1140403 Classic Lara in 2025 is a miracle of the universe. God bless the Tomb Raider Remasters

Did Darksiders III end up being any good? I remember enjoying the second one.

>>1161970 >>1161861 Here's what Craig Mullens did. He's the guy that did Marathon and some Halos stuff too lol.

>>1169109 They had some completely unrelated ideas that they tacked onto an existing IP Kind of like [spoiler]Half Life 2

>Atelier Lulua In this alchemy/turn based rpg, play as the daughter of the great Rorona in this victory lap of the series. Does not include english voice acting.

>>1160287 They will make it

Dark Devotion

>>1161861 right looks like a front desk girl that cosplays (badly) on the weekend.

>>1140403 while LoU2 wasn't perfect, it was much better in terms of pacing and gameplay than LoU1. playing as both Ellie and abby was rewarding, and I'm glad they felt disctinctly different. I am fucking pissed they never shipped multiplayer with that game. Multiplayer LoU2 with the new movement and hiding mechanics would have been fucking sick. that was one of the major fumbles by naughty dog. Other than that, underrated game in terms of chud goggles.

>>1140403 Does Batgirl from Gotham Knights count?

They're masterworks all. You can't go wrong.

They're masterworks all. You can't go wrong.

>>1198127 >They're masterworks all. You can't go wrong where have I heard that before...

Okami is my second favorite game of all time So it counts i guess

BB!

Satisfactory was chill about it, you could only tell from the character model. But once 1.0 came out they made it a bigger deal, with the coop/other player in the main menu twirling her wrench. She can't just be a representation of the multiplayer ability, she has to be a swaggy girlboss, of fucking course >>1140403 >(excluding ones with a character creator) no shit

>>1175678 Literally my dream girl...

<Yggdra Union <Recattear

>>1155555 >Quints Check 'em. I haven't played 2 or 3, but the issues I've heard surrounding them seem to be fairly noticeable. >2 - Wicked weave nerfs and enemy types made it stiff innings to play on harder difficulties. - Also a WiiU exclusive thanks to Platinum's troubles. - Generally just not as interesting as the first in terms of story. >3 - DMC4 syndrome. Introducing Viola wasn't exactly the best move, though the complaints about her are little from what I've seen. - Beast summoning mechanic wasn't as interesting or in-depth as it could have been. Possibly also ruined interactivity in fights? - Bayo's OG VA being a liar and trying to squeeze more money out of her contract. - Jumping for photorealism. Enough said. - Questionable story decisions Unceremoniously killing off Jeanne? Multiple timelines? - Stuck on the Switch primarily.

>>1164832 The age gap between her and Tatsuya is around 4 years iirc. That's not a pedo.

>>1154206 >Is it because it's harder to reduce a female character into a mindless objectified totem of shallow juvenile lust after you've been forced to step into her shoes and acknowledge her lived experienced? take a chill pill, bro on topic, for me it's Jill from RE3, Regina from Dino Crisis, Aya from Parasite Eve, Neptune from Neptunia, Joanna from Perfect Dark...all cool lasses.

Here's one you probably have never heard of.

>>1140403 Big fan of RE and NieR Automata here. They are not the protagonist but I want to mention Tifa and Aerith for the impact they had on my life

Had to get over my reluctance to play as a girl early, because the male character was goddamn useless in this game.

>>1145330 not that I dont think shes hot but the porn of her is too generic bimbo or too yucky

>>1248084 They should make more porno of Samus with the suit.

>>1248206 >samus riding cowgirl >activates speed booster

>>1248206 A man of culture.

>>1248206 There wasn't much porn of her until zero mission because artists are only good at drawing so they never saw her without the suit.

>>1248429 Was that the first game where you see her without the suit when you die?

>>1140403 Out of curiosity, what makes a female protagonist good, in you guys' opinion? Also, does it interact with an actual female power fantasy?

>>1336685 If it's a third person game she needs to have a cute butt and if it's a first person game you should be able to look down at your tits that also should be cute.

>>1258035 Nah that super metroid. every 2d metroid since then had the powersuit disapearring animation. Yes Metroid Dread still has it. Pics related. Which is still odd since you would think there would be porn in that bikini outfit piror to the zerosuit. This makes me think artists didn't play metroid games period. Now that I think about it was really Smash Bros Brawl that really kickstarted the samus porn. Since the 1st trailer in may 2006 showed her in the zero suit. Once again showing that artist are fucking secondaries casuals.

>>1336799 That's what I get for copy images like a lazy fuck

>>1336685 Generally: attractive, likeable, and relatable as a female. Strict action-girls might meet the first two criteria but fail the third. Yuna and Heather Mason meet all three. Not to say that < 3 == bad, but I think that's what separates "good pulp" from "bona fide classic." And of course, a good story can be told with 0/3, but then we're getting into the world of avant-garde art pieces with villain-protagonists and such. >Also, does it interact with an actual female power fantasy? The notion of the protagonist driving the story forward seems mostly orthogonal to whether a story is good or not: Yuna (FFX) and Terra (FF6) are protagonists of a sort that is acted upon by the force of circumstances until they aren't, very late in the story. In Terra's case, her powerlessness comes in part from her story arc being a metaphor for puberty.
