I was once a girl who played games. I can tell you now... I've seen some weird poo poo. Remember when Petz: Horsez 2 was LPed? That thing was a goddamn experience/ There was a game called Babiez that was obviously marketed toward girls. The modding community revealed that the result caused girls to sink into uncontrollable derangement. EDIT: Also, I must say... I played shittons of games like this, but it was very recently and because my work got to where I had nothing to do as the business died.

I also reacted strongly against being a "girl," but I got stuck in a terrible sort of limbo. I thought it was "wrong" to like "boy" things, or that I would get in trouble or looked down on in some nebulous way for liking things for boys. It kept me from being able to express what I really liked for quite some time. I had "girl" toys that I liked alright, but I would have had vastly more fun with some Transformers. I ended up becoming more and more resentful of "girly" things in general, even if they were harmless, just because they seemed to be keeping me from what I really wanted. That isn't mentioning how really HORRIBLY UNFUN everything made being a girl seem. Guys get to kick rear end and be the hero. What do girls get? Oh, you get a load of effort to be pretty. Isn't that good enough? Basically, gently caress the idea that anything is specifically gendered for boys or girls. Even without all the problems of message, the sense of obligation and expectation combined with natural taste just makes kids miserable. vv Dude, you hadn't even posted when I as typing this. I just meant in general. EDIT: OH MY GOD http://www.cartoondollemporium.com/dress-up-games.html?fantasy-warrior-girl&id=8760 Depicted here: not a fantasy warrior girl at all. What the hell are the options on this? It doesn't say "pixie girl", it says "Fantasy Warrior Girl." YOU SEEM TO LACK THE REQUISITE OPTIONS, GAME.

SelenicMartian posted:Dress-up is not just for girls. I know of a series of dress up games for guys called Armored Core. Yeah, I have this game. It was enjoyable goofy fun. And then there's a sudden plot twist and it's all aboard the train to awkward rape town. SUPER AWKWARD. EDIT: Also, secret confession: I have a terrible trainwreck-watching attraction to otome games. There are a handful of good ones, but oh my god, the bad ones. I also like dollmakers, but only the proper ones where you can put on whatever you goddamn please, and only if not all the options are hookerwear and goddamnit, why are so many of these GIRL GAMES ones so poorly made? The ones I've played are like made as artist practice, not really for little girls. The ones for GIRLS~ are just made like poo poo. What's this crap about having to "beautify" first? What's this crap about having to scroll through clothes by hitting the "shirt" button until it's on a shirt I like? Make a list!

gegi posted:It's an interesting game and it certainly touches on gender elements (and I never got past the first big case myself) but it's certainly not a free flash game, not covered in pink, and not sold to a young girl market. Or even the casual market (which is stereotypically older women). It got banned from the casual market entirely because people objected to the mechanics, thinking it sounded like the 'dangerous' girls were promoting bullying. I would expect it to get banned for the PLOT TWEEST near the ending, but... well. I guess they didn't play that far.

OwlFancier posted:I played a couple of the online dressy uppy games with ladyfriends when I was younger. You may just need BETTER dressup games. Some allow a wide selection of single clothing pieces and the ability to change their colors. It's vastly more of a game than having to scrub out some girl's blackheads and pick one of three almost full outfits to stick on her. But most of those are not targeted towards little girls at all.

horse games that are floating around out there. There was an LP of Petz Horsez 2 a year or two ago, and I remember being pretty impressed by how far they took "taking care of horses adventure, you know, for the girls", despite the game's general jankiness. It's like a made for TV movie, in video game form, but like with also really weirdly detailed equine hygiene mini-games.

Jinxie Monroe posted:I feel like this image is the only way I can express how strange and disturbing I find these beauty games where you repeatedly rub lotions on non-people and wash them off again and again to make them better, beautiful non-people. It's also blatant lies, because it doesn't matter how much poo poo you put on some peoples' legs, they will never feel better after shaving.

Like Clockwork posted:I'm pretty sure that game was straight-up stolen from Doll Divine (which has a decent number of not-poo poo dress-up games), although I probably shouldn't be surprised by that. It is a nice game, though. Doll Divine has the kind of dollmaker games I futz around with. They're the sort made by experimenting artists, not actually games for young girls. They have their problems, but it's less of a crapshoot there! Rinmaru's also not terrible, but it also has loving ASCENSION AHGHHH EDIT: I still have my creation from that goddamn stream when I decided to make the worst thing:

Let's look on Youtube and see if- HOLY poo poo there's a lot of clowns catching fire. The weirdest part of that clip was a little boy who was just staring at the flaming clown and grinning.

Devious Vacuum posted:I have no idea, but now I need an explanation of this. It MAY have been from A Wrinkle in Time, actually... There was a character who hypnotized one of the main characters, I think? And the sign that he was hypnotized was his eyes spinning or rotating. That series of books kinda hosed me up as a kid. And A Wrinkle In Time was BEFORE the crazy got mindblowing in those. I'll never unread that one childbirth from Many Waters. Ever.

Man, I didn't wanna have to go into anything like "Good Otome games", buuuuut I do know a few. First off, Hatoful Boyfriend! You probably know about that one, but I had to mention it. I kinda hate being able to say that a semi-science-fiction game about romancing pigeons has some really genuine characterization and surprisingly good structure for an otome game. Playing all of the routes will slowly teach you more and more about the world, and then you can end up on the giant mindfuck True Ending. But the big one I wanted to mention was Hakuoki, Demon of the Fleeting Blossom.  It's not rapey! It has a plot that could go on without ANY romance whatsoever! It has a really vague historical basis, aside from the demons and the alchemy vampires! The characters who are assholes end up fleshing out in a way that makes them much better than your lovely "I love him even though he is an rear end in a top hat" storylines! Your character may be kinda useless, but she's next to some of the most dangerous people in all of Japan, so the comparison is just not flattering. She has agency and a will of her own, and she actually has a say in the plot. The various love interests all play a part in the plot no matter how you steer it, though things can go rather differently depending on which way you go. There's no bullshit where you almost never see any of them except the one you pick. There's no crap about them changing personality drastically between routes. (I'm looking at you, Shall We Date? My Sweet Prince. I'll get to that one.) Want to kill someone's heart? Get them to play it without looking up any real life details on the Shinsengumi. Bonus points if they go for Souji Okita. It follows actual history a lot better than some of these games do, so a little light Googling will tell you how the story goes, sans supernatural stuff. Nothing like seeing someone's head explode when they realize their love interest is dying of tuberculosis. It does delve into fiction, based on your ending. Someone dies in every one of them, but it takes liberties with how they die or perhaps percieved death, etc. But someone will die, and it will be depressing. Also, your player character has a face. Lots of them don't. I'm looking at you, Voltage. EDIT: Okay, some of my typing got eaten, wtf. I fixed it, I think. Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Feb 19, 2014 |

Light Gun Man posted:Champions Online is even better. Then it must have changed by MILES since I played, because I could consistently NEVER even just recreate a character from CoX in Champions. The options were abysmal and not suited for mix and match without extreme effort. Did they ever fix it so that there wasn't a loving CLEAVAGE OVERLAY? Because if you give someone minimum tits, they still visibly had huge knockers from the front like an eye maze. Yeah, you could be flat as you liked, but god knows you have to have cleavage. Even in a shirt that fully covers your entire chest.
