Should Video Games Have ‘Girlfriend Mode’?

Here we go with the dumbass "trolling", nobody is trying to troll you. Spelling wasn't a comeback because there was no arguement, in order for me to comeback at you, we would have to be in an arguement. Hence proving my point you can't spell, and I bet after I declared that you couldn't spell you made sure that you spelled everything properly, too bad you suck at grammar, you used its improperly. (this would be considered trolling) Anyway your first comment about girlfriend mode wasn't funny, which is why I put "shakin ma head".

You assume a lot dont you. Lol. My statement stands and it is was and forever will be funny. :)

Also you are not very good at trolling.

What do you get, nobody is actually attempting to troll you. Your one of those asses that try and troll people by saying another person can't troll, it's stupid and not funny. Oh that's just like your comment.

sorry, but it's argument not 'arguement'. please don't criticise other people's spelling if you are so careless with your own. have a nice day.

what are the :p;s for? you're right, of course, you can do as you please. i just dislike hypocrisy. (and love lower-case letters).

I love :p's that's why :p

I think it's a great idea, but maybe it should be called something else just to curb the butthurt. I think borderlands has this mode, but it's the kind of game that can get away with it because of its sense of humor. Also, here's a character from the game






While her breasts are enormous, she's not overly sexualized, and they're kind of only that big to keep it proportionate. Anywhoodle, yes. I think this is a great idea. Also, I'd like to see where the statistic "More girls than guys are gamers" came from.


EDIT:

Here's the article about where the issue came up. the official name isn't "girlfriend mode" it was a joke that was taken the wrong way. Educate yourselves here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tec...

It's called easy mode.....................

That would imply that games are just for males. Is someone yanking my chain here?

Don't call it "girlfriend" mode. There are plenty of people who can't play video games girls and boys mind you and its somewhat an insult by calling it "girlfriend" mode. I know plenty of girls who kick ass in video games and I happen to be one of them. Plus they already have a mode like this its called Beginner

-_- That's the dumbest thing ever invented.

Sexism is A-okay, but if it were racist and called something like "black-person mode" that implied black people were automatically inferior at video games, heads would roll. For some reason, sexism is still condoned in society (mostly in small and subtle ways, like this "joke") but racism is taboo. Looks like sexism has some catching up to do.

A rave and a virtual hug for you!

So....gaming still in the 50's eh?

It would be different if it was called 'Toddler option' seeing as every person on Xbox live seems to be a little arrogant boy who hasn't gone through puberty. But girlfriend mode? PLEASE. I kick my boyfriend's ass at multiple video games.

i completely agree about the Xbox live thing. That's why I have a wii :D

I have a wii too, the online function is free, Xbox live is pay-for

It should have an "easy" option, but that wouldn't necessarily be called "girlfriend mode." I've known a few female gamers, and they're as skilled, well-practiced, and hardcore as ANY male gamer I've ever known.

It was a joke, its not actually called girlfriend mode.

It sounds like a good idea to have this mode,but calling it "Girlfriend Mode" is just sexist.I'm better at games than some guys

How could you prove that?

I'd like to see him take me on in certain games and then decide what he should call that mode.
Name the game. Lately I've been kickin' a$$ and takin' names at Left 4 Dead, but I'm up for anything.

Why not call it easy Mode like normal people. It's degrading and sexist, to call it 'girlfriend' mode. The gamer world, and the nerd world in general tend already see girls in the culture as a rarity and as If we aren't good enough or only there to look good. This is just going to add to that stereotype. This is going to alienate female gamers farther.

*annoyed*

Girls can play video games just as well as guys...and some girls are better.

Call it "easy mode" or "casual mode" or something not offensive to your users. I don't see why it could be considered funny, personally. And I only tolerate sexist comments if they make me laugh despite technically being a target of those comments.

LMFAO

If you have ever played a video game with your girl friend. You will know exactly what I am talking about.

For those girls out there who can play video games and usually own my ass. Imagine playing with one of your more 'popular' school mates. Yeah, that's the problem the rest of us experience more often than not.

The girls who aren't bad at playing games should immediately see the funny side of this anyway =3

Also..point me to the research that shows that female gamers out number male gamers. Because my research indicates differently.

I agree. Im not being sexist but out of about 20 girls that ive seen or have played against only 1 has ever been good. Maybe its a coincidence but that's how ive

Seen it

And were they girls who play video games regularly and who consider themselves gamers? Or were they girls whose only experience with games are Farmville and Angry Birds?

Some female gamers suck just like some male gamers suck, but if you don't even play games to start with naturally your suck-factor will be pretty high.

I do play video games. Farmville? Really?

Re-read my post. It is clear to me that you did not comprehend what I said.

I want to play games that are meant to played. Not all females can't play games well. Some guys can't play well either.

That is very sexist. Why not just call it easy mode?

what century are we in?

I don't see how this insults or goes back to anything some girls are sweet gamers some are bad. some guys are the same. I doubt he was trying to hurt anyone it was just to make it easier for the people who get confuses or lost.

Don't be pussies! (oops)

lmfao

This, is just.....stupid. Wow.

That's insulting and stupid. How about just creating different levels for players of various skill levels? Whatever happened to easy, medium, hard? There's no need to be derogatory towards women. The video gaming industry has already done enough to alienate women who play games- this is just over the top.
