Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom did this quite well - while one of your main objectives in both games is to find/save Zelda… SpoilerIn one game she’s single-handedly holding back Ganon from destroying the world and in another she makes the ultimate sacrifice to become an eternal dragon whose power is essentially limitless. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com -15 points 1 week ago (5 children) Sorry, but you cannot honestly think that most women are into soulslikes when not even most men are into them. Idk about the other references you are making because I’m one of the vast majority of women who have no interest in soulslike. (Actually that’s not structly true, I despeately want to like them, but don’t, but I still have no clue what you are on about) I never said women aren’t hardcore, we give birth and raise kids. That’s hardcore. We do whatever the fuck we want against society, that’s hardcore. We can like anything across a broad range, but it would be silly to think that most women give a fuck about being represented in wwe, for example. This is similar. What I’ve been saying is that women are more into social games, overall as a statistic, because that is factually correct. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [+] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com -13 points 1 week ago just disagree with the notion that women are for some reason repelled from "difficult" games by the content itself, Which I never said and in fact have disgreed with, so that’s probably why.

Even if you only count gamers that would probably be hard to achieve, as that is not the same as positive reviews because reviewers are a subset of population that is already not against the genre permalink fedilink source parent
