What women want from a GL
« on: October 13, 2005, 12:41:42 PM »

We all know that most gamers are guys, and that the women game players are a bit of a minority.  So, since I'm working at one of those Gaming Locations, and Illusion brouight up the very important point of GLs being testosterone pools, we at the Digital Playhouse would like to know what women would like to find at a liming spot.  Yes, we have games.  We want to know what else would be preferred by women. 
So, to Illusion and the other women out there, tell us what you'd like at a GL / liming spot and we'll try to accomodate you.

hmmmmm
female gamers shocked that someone asked them
what they want or what ?

Come on people
say what you gotta say
after all they genuinely wnat to know
what you need to be comfortable

and as for sims.... in a ps2 arcade ?
i suppose wiith a memory card
but i cant really see someone just going to
play the game for a short time
The chains that bind me are of my own creation,
sealed with my name, that I do not dare break without damaging myself in the process.
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How.. so many questions continue to delude me for is only one answer that continues to elude me.

usually in a console arcade you want no brainer games.

Straight up shooters, fighters and such

dread you REALLY need XBOX in there because HALO and HALO 2, well me eh come accros a woman that doh like that game, even ones that dont play any games. It easy to learn and fun to play

Otherwise, with them 4 PS2 organise some SOCOM 3.

In Jamaica, Area51 says Burnout is pretty popular with the female crowd.

Just remember, the history of the arcade and GL scene has shown that females will be 2% or less of your gamer base.

Catering to them in any serious way is a "no no".

Nothing wrong with asking what they'd want, but just be mindful not to jeopardise your hard core gaming crowd by painting the place pink or having a Sims 2 happy hour. lol

We have gone through this in great detail before, but suffice it to say, traditional girls in a sweat is a negative, not a plus.

If you've found some Girl Gamers who are really into the scene then consider yourself blessed! They'd be the ones that actually appreciate running some hard core CoD, Halo, Tekken, Battlefield2, Dota, etc.... Things that you'd have in spades already for the male crowd.

Hold unto those! They are precious.

We are fortunate to have a few of those around.

Baego right. Arcade style driving games are a big plus too.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.  But why are no women responding to the question.  Of course I know that there are only a few women who are real gamers, but it really can't hurt for them to say what their preferences are.  I know one girl who was unbeatable at any driving game for some strange reason, but that just embarassed the guys.  I say to the women: Come embarass us!!  Beat us at Tekken!!  Outdrive us in GT4!!  We can take it like men!! 
Just tell us what games you want or what you prefer in the environment.  We won't paint the walls pink or anything like that, of course.

Actually, luckly the few girl gamers out there....I doubt they would actually want the walls in pink.

And Bageo, I actually know like about 5 female footballers (2 dont actually play, but know more about about football then ALOT of fellas) But still, yea they are few and far apart, but not so much as girl gamers....
