First of all, you obviously lack manners and brain cells on a severe level.
Second, I didn’t say female characters CAN’T be good, I just said that right now they AREN’T good.
Whether developers want to improve them or not is up to them, however RIGHT NOW male characters are much more appealing.
Also, please look up the meaning of “example”

Hahaha, your comment is so amazingly moronic. You appeal to statistics, and then you cherry pick a male character you really liked and a female character you didn’t, and you seriously think that this proved that all male characters are awesome and all female characters are lame.

And the idea that having a female protagonist isn’t a totally natural thing to do (females being half of the human species), no, it must be a developer stupidly trying to “fix” the paradigm of 100% of leads being male. Jesus CHRIST you are dumb.

Quoting statistics is myopic??
I mean get me 5 games with female leads that sold well.
Not trying to be sexist here, but hey I played Tomb Raider (2013) and Uncharted, and let me just tell you Lara isn’t even 1/10 the awesomeness of Drake.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it for god’s sake
