Aliens: Colonial Marines female absence petition hits 1,800 signatures

they really make a big mistake. All "aliens" movies have females actors in it and play a big part in it.  Lack of females means they don't even respect the movie itself.  They just want to make money out of the brand.  THAT?S IT. DONE 

what a load of bs, most games dont have playable female characters

Hudson : Hey Vasquez! Have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Vasquez: No, have you?

From the company that brought you "Duke Nukem Forever" and more specifically "Duke Nukem Forever's slappable wall boobs" comes: A game without strong female character representation!

*Pauses for deafening gasps of disbelief*

*Thinks he hears a single cricket fart off in the distance*

*Quietly wonders to himself why anyone would even pretend to give a damn about a game, co-developed by Sega, based on a film franchise(first red flag) what's been dead for well over a decade's cardboard cut out multiplayer avatars*

*Estimates about 1,823 out of the 1,873 people that signed the petition probably weren't going to buy the game anyway*

GET OUT OF MY BRAINS YOU MIND READING FREAKS!

this is after the movie aka rescue mission. Even now women aren't allowed to fight in the marines and the women in the movies where scientists or, hired hands. so why all the fuss

You know you women could also just GO OUTSIDE!

Makes no difference to me. If they do listen to this petition it'll just delay the game further.

Couldn't care less!  Keep women out of it unless you want to pop Ripley in there for a cameo.  Scrap the petition I say.  Let's start a petition to stop the petition!

I honestly don't care if they have females in the multiplayer or not, but the Alien movies have always had female protaganists in them.  It'd make more sense to include Vasquez in the MP portion of the game.  I'm kinda baffled that none of the COD or Battlefield games have female soldiers in them. I think it'd be kinda cool to play as a female in those games. You know, one for each class. You can choose either to be a male or female Engineer for example.... Those 2 franchises should get on that.

well there are alot of wannabe tranvestites out there.

I prefer realism.  The woman can stay in the support roles :P

When I first seen the pre-order bonus I thought for sure Pvt.Vasquez was going to be in that lineup... or at least Ripley.

Women are too scantily clad in some games: Shit fest

Women aren't in certain game modes: Shit fest

Honestly, women don't know how to fight their battles when it comes to their representation in games. How many CoD games and Battlefield games have been released without a single female soldier in ANY OF THEM?

I can't give two shits about their complaining right now cause they're so damn nit-picky. Getting on Princess Peach cause she's the sole reason why Mario would ever want to fight animals like 5X his size. Getting on other female roles cause their more or less scantily clad. Yet at the same time, I don't see men crying up a storm after seeing Gill and Urien from SFIII. There are loads of male characters with huge bodies, torn shirts, and massive muscles. Isn't that eye candy for women just as much as supple curves and "less clothes = more defense" logic is for men?

So now they're not in the game at all (at least not in multiplayer), and women are whining about it. How about you go about whining about it the right way and address the whole issue, and not just one instance. There's a crap load of FPS titles out there that you've skipped over...and you jump on THIS one? This "feminist gamer movement" thing is starting to look like PETA to me.

"such as  ripley, Vasquez, Ferro, Dietrich and most importantly the queen" hey you forgot elizabeth shaw!

haha jk prometheus sucked

wtf is that? Since when is that crap an issue ? I don't give a fuck if there is no female character in multiplayer. First I am not intersted in multiplayer. This is not Battlefield 3, this is ALIEN ! I would have bitching around if this was Mass Effect, but that is way out of any fuss. I guess the journalist who came up with this bullshit issue is out of inspiration. Fire him !

Don't really care.Just add females to MP for most games.That solves the problem.

Still don't care though, i just play the game.I could play as a pony in the game with guns and rainbows and wouldn't care.I am shooting aliens.Good enough.

Well maybe omit the rainbows...

Wow... really? Who gives a crap!? It's aliens!!! I'd play as newt!!!!

"A Wii U release--to be the best-looking version" ?????? WTF??????

Why do all the Devs just take a big shit on PC gamers.. Games are made on PC, naturally  they should look and perform best on a PC. Instead if its a multi platform release we get the worst version on the game with crappy/sloppy/lazy ports where you can't adjust the visuals and have terrible controls that feel awkward...

Who the hell wants to play as a female character?

*Raises Hand*

How do i sign up for this chicken-shit outfit?

...Wait.

Wheres the petition for Cod and Battlefield and all though im no expert but wasnt there no female multiplayer characters in homefront,and medal of honour wheres the petition for that?

When a female is a main character in a horror movie it is 80% of the time really bad and cheesy so I'm guessing its the same for horror/action games.

I am a male but I still support this petition. Why treat females as outcast even though they pay for same shitty games as the rest of us? Stop being lazy and add female option in MP for female players. What, did Gearbox not make enough money selling Borderlands to hire someone to make female characters?

Are people really that disappointed  in the lack of female playable character or is it something else. Most games have not included females as lead roles and for good reasons im sure. The female gaming community is significantly smaller and usually overlooked completely so this shouldn't come as a surprise, people these days never fail to baffle me with how shallow they are anyone can be critisized for the least important of things.

Forget the equality crap.  Criticize them for simply not being faithful to the source material.  Aliens without women is like Spider-Man without webs.

why should there be a playable women character in there. you never played as one before in the series why throw a fit over this? yes AVP2 primal hunt had a playable Marine Girl but wtf u guys.

thats because this is game for men.

i don't see any point in playing as Drake if I can't team up with Vasquez, which i believe is a unisex sentiment. Who's gonna scream "Let's rock!" when I start rapid fire exploding xenomorphs all over the walls, or casually bring Bill Paxton's masculinity into question in the form of a witty comeback?

hate to sound like a male chauvinist here but something tells me these angry ladies wouldnt be happy even if there was a female character.chances are quite high that she would be scantily clad with a barbie body.  she tie into the plot likely through an attraction to one of the main male characters.im just stating what i think the developer would do, not would i would do personally.  it does kind of suck that women are stuck with this archetype if they want to be represented in games. 

Hi, Just making a quick correction to this story. There is no playable females in the Single Player. You play as Cpl. Christopher Winter. We are fine with that! We are not asking them to make a female Winter, we are all for a narrative experience but just asking for females for Multiplayer. Thanks for covering this for us! and thanks for the support everyone!

Hate me if you want but im tierd of every singel character being white, male and american fighting white men. Whould it ******* hurt then to give players the option to pick if thay want to play as male of female? Its not that ******* hard and might as well do that then to cram in all that other crap nobody likes. Like most of the pre-order that 90% of the time sucks anyway. Alof of devs/pubs could do with lisening to what there fans say sins thay are the ones goin to play it. And not do like Nintendo and lisen and then ignore what thay say and do something else. Because when fans ask for biger batery and you give them bigger screen then there is a big problem.

I agree, the devs/pubs only put in most of the time white, american men. You could actualy sue most devs for being racist and sexual discrimination sins there IS a law in one way or another that everythin have to be equal or fairly representetive or somethin like that. And the fact that thay HAVE women in singelplayer and then slap on the BS that thay wont be included in multiplayer is just the bigest pile of BS i have ever heard sins Civelasation 5 not including animations in multiplayer "to prevent lag" or whatever bs reason thay used. There is a tiny game nobody knows thats called World of Warcraft and then there is this other game thats not popular at all called Call of Duty. Thay have animations and it works fine. The REAL reason is thay are just ******* Lazy!
