Girls playing 'guy games'

If they changed the ending and made the story a bit better and longer, I would have thought it was worth £43

I don't have Black Ops 2, only have the 1st one. I only play it for the zombies to be honest

The saddest day ever: when I met a really attractive girl who was into hardcore games, and those games were COD: MW, MW2 and Black Cops. The relationship failed due to "irreconcilable differences"

She was only into COD? That's... well. Limiting to say the least.

entirely understandable.

There were a few other choices, but they were not...redeeming. If only she had liked Left 4 Dead, then there might've been some leeway!

well i got it for £30, and yea zombies is the only reason i got COD

The only places near me were doing it for £40+

i got mine just after christmas as they were selling them at half price

Hey, so, I'm 17, and pretty much the ONLY girl I know that plays decent games. By decent, I mean Halo 4, all the Assassin's Creed games, Skyrim and Oblivion. COD just doesn't appeal, although I do like Zombies. When I mention I game, I usually get a few 'seriously, gaming? wow.' looks, but why? Does anyone find it weird that a girly-girl (which I can be) plays quite 'violent' games? X

Ahh, I was a bit impatient and bought it like a week after it came out

Im not far into it, Im currently on my way to Winterhold to look for the Elder Scrolls Totally addicted atm though!

you've got an xbox in the kitchen?

I've completed just about every quest inside Whiterun and Riverwood, and barely explored past the Throat of the World. Heck, I've only just learned "Fus-roh"! I'm one of those people that tends to spend ages on making sure every single little bit of one area is complete before I move on to another... makes for a long game.



At least they leave the basement.

Where is the meaning in violent video games, if it is not real anyway? I don't understand it really. It is a kind of fight where you risk nothing and just press buttons. Violent video games are making a fortune out of fuelling a false elation and sense of achievement. Rip off enterprises for the dull minded. Sorry but if you want to be a combatant, stick some boxing gloves on and bash someones face in and feel what it is like to be punched yourself. At least it is real and not living some pathetic virtual kind of delusion. Big deal, you punch keyboards. Give me a film or a book any day than a bloody computer game. At least I will feel I am not wasting my time.

Damn, I knew I'd forgotten something this Christmas. I just went around revelling in how cool my weapons and armour were without actually managing to complete the main quest. Damn

I find that to be a fairly blinkered existence to be honest.


Video games can achieve amazing things. Damien Hirst, who's extremely famous 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living' from 1991 has said that video games are the median which allow humans to explore impossible concepts (not just death).


Coming from someone who did boxing for half a decade, I've learnt alot more from video games 'for the dull minded' than I did from boxing. It's not delusions, it's the active control of your mental focus, and you can really develop powerful cognitive skills from video games.


I find it odd that you discard video games but not films or books. Don't get me wrong, I love both, and am doing my degree in Literature. But games are just another median that the author employs to convey a message, and they can have a greater cathartic effect than even a film due to the personal psychological experience for the player.


A true fight isn't about risk anyway. It's about perfection of self and form, and that's exactly the same concept in video games.

I don't think it's unusual for girls to game. I think girls in general might avoid gaming sites where there's a lot of abuse towards literally anyone (like COD). The easiest people to insult are basically non-whites and women. Most of the insulting people are not even sexist or racist, they just find it funny that they can insult someone over the microphone.

Why do you feel the need to bring your gender into it? It appears like many of the so-called girl gamers are fishing for a spot of attention. As if being a girl gamer is rare or a feat of some sort...

Where are you gaming girls? Another dimension?

Also annoys me when girls feel the need to advertise that they're a girl to the world when playing online.

The only reason i ever mention it online... is if some guy is being obnoxious/arrogant... - beating him, then mentioning that hes been beat by a girl - especially if he is american... - usually just pisses them off so so much
