Recently there is a research that more females are into gaming nowadays. They are no longer the typical type of gals who only play games like Sim, Second Life and so on. You can find some pretty cool chicks playing Counter Strike, Warcraft, Star Craft, C&C, etc... Is this true? Lets find out.

Lets see if there is any female gamers here and find out the ratio between male and female.

Gals, pls tell us what game u r playing and the type of game that u love.

as long as i hv been in mmorpg there has always been girls in our ranks. more then 2-3 for every 10 guys probably. quite nice looking too i might add.

got the details from Star In-Tech today ka?

There's already another thread like this at Gamers Hideout.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/702538

thats a different poll altogether... this poll is about knowing how many gals vs how many guys in gaming world. It is fun to have the fairer sex to play with guys. A new type of challenge i might say. Guys are aggressive and gals are passive in gaming. So both will play the game with different strategy and style. It makes a lot of difference in multiplayer mode. We need balance in team if u r playing team deathmatch or something like tat.

Well, there is an article about his in In-Tech today. Quite interesting though. I can see some female votes in but they never reply the game they r playing. At least make guys understand the type of games u all play. Also trying to find female kaki to play the same game.... like MGS4, COD4, GTA4 (hmm... so many games with 4 in the end).

These 2 threads will head towards the same direction in the end.

As repeated many times, it depends on the gamer so you have to understand each individual girl gamer and not the entire group of girl gamers as a whole.

What I'm playing is on my signature. Not a big fan of FPS, only played a little of TF2 because it was interesting, prefer innovative games (like Portal, Katamari, Okami, WEWY) and RPGs with good storyline. Graphics do not matter as I don't discriminate games because they have low polygon rates. No money to buy PS3 yet (nor the time to play it).

tat why im here to find out wat type of games u all play... im not grouping gals in a whole.

There are two things that i wanna find out here:

1) how many gals vs guys ratio in gaming
2) wat type of game gals play in general

I just hope that the industry or any gamers here encourage more female to play games. It is just a thought...

I think the industry should not try and make games appeal to girls, make them as how they should be. Girls who like gaming will still like the game. Example of why the should not try and make the game appealing to girls: we get things like FFVII spin-offs with all the main characters looking like Gackt.

I got my little sister interested in GTA IV.eeek! She says it's her favorite game after the sims 2.

hahahha looking like Gackt... well, i just hope that the industry will encourage more females and also making the game just the way it is now. I mean nowadays we seldom see games that has guys looking like Gackt, eg. GTA4, MGS4, Bourne, Assassin's Creed, etc.... At least FF12 is good. Guys look cool and gals are pretty. Im sure they are improving on the detail of facial graphics.

I bet Little Big Planet game will motivate and encourage more gals to play cos it is really cute and fun. also, PS Home is coming soon. Im sure this will be the stepping stone to the future where gals and guys can play together and challenge.

i like to play FPS, survival/horror, puzzle games, music games, used to play some RTS...

All Time Favourite games include (but not limited to):
- Clive Barker's Undying
- Phoenix Wright Series
- Elite Beat Agents
- Warcraft
- Guitar Hero
- Frets on Fire
- God of War
- Silent Hill

cool Keeying. WElcome to the gamer club. hehhee...

so wat console do u have?

i have a female fren who plays 360 all the time. cod4, army of two, gh2 n gh3. she likes em. btw, i find many dmc4 fangirls in msia. lol.

I also have a female friend who owns a Xbox 360.

She is quite hardcore and she likes smashing zombies in dead rising.

my sister only plays diner dash . I cant imagine my sister playing cs or dota or wow etc.

I am a hardcore gamer, my wife is a softcore gamer (played tetris and puzzle type games only), my younger sister loves playing puzzle games and 'platformer' game (she's more than 20 years old).

wow...amazing. So it is true that more female is playing console games nowadays. Hopefully one day, they will catch up with us and become hardcore gamers. hahhahaha... Well, i knew a gal who play CS very well. always get aim for head shot. From that time onwards, i never underestimate female gamers.

ala bro lady gamer are normal nowdays la... they even play game beter than any normal male game.. and some can even pawn those pro muahahaha so wat i can see there are alot of them and the reason we hardly see them cos they dont want us to see....

if wat u r saying is true, how come they wanna hide? Afraid tat ppl might say that they r tomboy? not girlish enuff? hmm... i think they are cool la. At least can share the same interest.

I played Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Budokai 3 with my gf, and she beaten me a few times. hahhaha... very fun indeed. I was like... SHIT! I lost to her! As u all know, DBZ: TB3 is a very fast buttion mashing game and must have good instinct and fast response time.

no lah bro.. not that they affraid that they are tomboy...... hehehe... funny also like us men do we tell da world that we are men when we playing any game.. i dont think so rite... same goes with this lady... not that they hide them self.. just that we dont ask also..
