Game for women?

[StukOngeluk]

I really enjoyed this game and tried to convince some of my friends to also play it, but..
they think it's a game only for women because of the drama and stuff. ( We're all male)

Do you guys agree with it? (the ones who actually played it)

Doesn't matter if the story is good.

This game is for anyone who likes good stories.

I was thinking the same when I started playing the game. Now I've finished the first episode, I see it more like an episode from some teenager TV show. I think the beginning of the game is very slow and not exactly good ( except for the bathroom part ).

The episode gets better when you reach the dormitory. It's nice to see something different though.

Regarding the "feminazi" issue, now I've completed the episode, I didn't found it was pushing some agenda ( at least not the subtle elephant Kotaku way ). But I find it disappointing that every single male character is mostly an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The only good one describes himself as a "white knight" and ( SPOILERS )... needs to take a beating to save the girl ( that one was pure SJW BS ). Maybe characters get a chance to be more three dimensional in the following episodes...

Well I hope I can let them experience this game ;)
To be honest, I also thought this was a game targeted for 'hipster' girls, but as I played it for a while, that feeling went away and I enjoyed the story more and more.

I have a feeling the community for this game could be bigger if the first impression of this game wasn't like how my friends see it now, but well that's their miss.

About the fact that most of the main male characters are asses, except warren, It really seems so in episode 1, but I have a feeling there will be a lot of twist and turns in later episodes regarding them. I think DONTNOD will surprise us with that one.

Doesn't matter what gender you are, it is one of the best story rich games I've seen. :)

Wut? Are they are whimps who can't deal with a bit of story, even with drama and stuff? ;)

I don't think it was targeted on hipster girls, either. I like games which let you interact deeply with the story, I love immersive games. This one, besides having a nice plot, mixes Butterfly Effect elements, which enrich your understanding of the story and adds a touch of sci-fi. Totally buying Chapter 2.

It's as much "girls only" as it gets. That said I never understood that phrase but from their perspective the game is not manly enough like Gears Of War or something.

It really doesn't matter to be honest, if the story is good, i will play it, but saying that cause it has all the drama its for girls is just showing how sexist your mates are, i have known alot of teenagers will i was one and even i caused ALOT of drama and i am a guy......its one of those things that teenagers do in their own way....cause drama and since they are teenagers they think their lives are based on how popular their school life is.....when it means nothing at all.

If you say this you really don't get my point.
It classifies as girlie but you really shouldn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about that.

What irks me much more is the popculture references and "hip"-♥♥♥♥.
I am too old for that, I don't understand half of what they say. And then they bring something like Cujo, how many kids know what that is?

You don't have to be a brony and you certainly don't have to wear a fedora to like this game. ;-)
