Does SHODAN count? Or GLADOS? In which case the ladies have some of the best villains. Japanese games seem to have women as villains more often I think, Ultimecia and Queen Zeal come to mind.

You've all raped this thread with your squabling over female characters in video games.
Call of duty hasn't been mentioned for pages and thats the thread topic. How many times has this 'discussion' happened before? If you want to talk about the great injustices done to female gamers then go start another thread about it.

Actually, we managed to shut out the 'thread hijack troll', and carry on with the discussion. if you didn't bother to carry on where we picked up, that's your problem.
Edit: -MOST- of us managed to shut out the 'thread hijack troll'. Sadly, 'most of us' is not an absolute.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Wait, Alma's evil? I always thought she was more of a chaotic neutral.
So what about Call of Duty now, something about there being too many of them? Yeah, not too many CoDs but a lot of poor imitators that make it seem like its too much.
halonachos wrote:Wait, Alma's evil? I always thought she was more of a chaotic neutral.
Oh same here, but she is the Antagonist, and that is what most of the discussion was about. Probably shouldn't have quoted your post, sorry about that.
Though, the end of F.E.A.R. 2 does kind of point in the "Evil" direction, ya know?
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
Well mind rape is usually never a good thing I guess. But aren't there two Alma's or something like that? Little Alma is something and older Alma is another something, Little=good and older=rapist I think.

Little Alma is her psychic manifestation, Older Alma is what she wants to be, Crone Alma is what she is, is how I always thought of it.
With Little Alma being girl in red dress, Older Alma being the one in the pictures, and Crone Alma being skin and bones with black eyes.
if thats how it actually is, I don't know, but that's how I always thought of it.

Its all very confusing now that there are three Alma's, next thing you know there'll be a baby Alma or something. Hmm, an evil baby... I want a game with an evil infant now and I don't mean like the ones in Dead Space I mean life-like babies being in charge of an evil group.

Quite possibly F.E.4.R., since this one is about Alma giving birth to her third child (I think they have said Son, but I am kind of hoping for a daughter. Between Fettel and Point Man, they have both kinds of male characters done, unless they want the new one to be stealthier with invisibility or something.....)

With a top hat and a monocole ofcourse.
Always been too afraid of F.E.A.R games to play one, i'm seriously freaked out by small children in horror games/films.

Really?
I admit Little Alma freaks me out, but Older Alma is the hotness. Crone Alma is kind of..... meh, though.
And honestly, there has only been one part in the F.E.A.R. series, in the first game, that has seriously scared me, every single time I play it, despite knowing it's there. You walk down a walkway, grab a ladder, your vision falters, Little Alma is right next to you, you think "Oh, I knew that was coming", climb down, and there is a dude RIGHT THERE WHEN YOU TURN AROUND.... and then he suddenly disappears.
Keeps me awake at night.

FEAR can be somewhat scary but it makes you more twitchy than anything else.
The PS3 got a special level which complicates things for me because people were trying to say that one of the Almas just watches, one is evil, and one is good.
I think people say that little Alma watches your character, the younger Alma tries to inhibit your character, and then the older Alma must try to help your character. Its something in that order.

I call bull on that.
In the Elementary School, Old Alma picks Beckett up, and then starts shying away from him, afterwhich Young Alma comes up and starts trying to seduce him. Little Alma isn't in that scene.
But no, it's definately all one Alma, different forms.

I mean that they're all one Alma but I call each form a separate one. But yeah she's not the nicest person in the world. You don't get to killer her though...

Oh, that I can agree with.
All I know is that in #3, I am definately joining her and Paxtons side, since that is supposed to be what you choose; Does Point Man estrange himself from his family, or does he take up his place in their circle of power.

I believe the correct answer is to nuke it from orbit.

I don't know; Alma and Pointman already survived one in the first F.E.A.R.

Infinity Ward no longer exists and Treyarch is pretty good at what they do.
