Usually I would regard "first" posts with utter disdain, but considering the subject, I somehow find it accidentally witty.
My ken and barbie only have 72 possible combinations of dress up. Now I can put those down and play dress up in brink.
Total Unique Female Characters -- 0
Correct me if I'm wrong on that one. I haven't really been following the game.
I'm totally down for any game that has an emphasis on cooperative class based gameplay but I was never really a big fan of the whole parkour aspect found in Mirrors Edge. Plus the whole no female model in a supposedly highly customizable game kinda killed it for me.

Sorta have to agree with Elsa, not to mention the numbers higher on the list seem sorta weak. Oh well, still buying it.
Didn't realize there was no females in this game. Huh, that's pretty shitty. Where the ladies at? Cooking and cleaning? Maybe all the ladies are being held in a sub an forced to reproduce. I don't know. Rape Sub add-on though?
I don't care, all I care about is how they handle the shooting part of the game.
What I see in the trailers does not look very good.

I lol'ed.

I don't see a problem with no female characters since that means no objectification of them; like in the MGS3 multiplayer that had those retarded Rumble Roses character skins for no apparent reason.

It's the necessary evolution of the FPS. The ability to have fps controls combined with controls more typical of third person action games. If you don't see that, you may as well hang up the controller now and admit you're nothing but a sad little casual gamer. True gamers have been salivating over the idea of a much broader range of motion, so as to full express and feel less limited. Personally, I'm waiting for the game that truly understands my need to be allowed to break things. Whether they be 2 story houses or the ground below my feet.

I'm pretty sure splash damage fully explained the lack of female avatars as a time and resource based problem although that excuse seems a little weak when you see the figures mentioned in the article.
Would it help if there were additional voice packs for women? After all, youre not going to see your avatar when your playing the game and the most important thing to customise will be the weapons you use during the game.

@32BitSin,
lol. Sorry, how could I not help but laugh at you? You're literally trying to get me to like the game by threatening to call me a casual gamer. That's the most pathetic attempt I've ever seen at trying to convince someone to like a video game. Give me a break. Not to mention I've probably been gaming before you were even thought of. There's pretty much 0 chance of you convincing me of anything in that manner. You could've actually tried describing the game, instead, you know?
I guess we shall see if it's truly the next 'evolution' of FPS, won't we? (still lol'ing).
But imo you just sound like a defensive fangirl. You haven't played it yet. It could literally have the worse shooting mechanics known to FPS gaming and you wouldn't know it.

@Elsa - You know, in some cases, I'd be willing to excuse it, but I seem to recall Splash Damage using the same poor excuses for not having female avatars in Quake Wars. It's really sad that this company puts so much into the game play of its games and still can't manage to create some female avatars. I mean, they obviously have different body types in, so why not just create MORE body types and make them female? Balance issue resolved.
in the future of Brink, women have been put into birthing vaults. to save the human race from extinction. only the men fight the wars now.

Laugh all you want, it's not like I was trying to troll you or put you down. If you wanted a game description, you could easily watch the trailers and read the wiki. I realize I haven't played the game and the controls could be ass, but gameplay trailers say a lot. I've also played Mirrors Edge, so I pretty much know what to expect. Anyways, sorry if you felt wronged by what I said. Have a fap-tastic day!

Look, I like character customization as much as the next guy, but the game itself just doesn't look very interesting.
@runtheplacered
Well if you'll allow me,
I personally have played Brink at PAX East and from what I saw, I genuinely enjoyed it. The SMART system is solid and allows for a lot of tactical variation, the gun customization was as varied as they claimed, and the character customization was really one of the most impressive ones I've seen in a long time, regardless of whether it has female avatars or not. I'm not sure if I'd go as far as claim it is the natural evolution of the FPS, but overall it was a genuinely enjoyable game with some solid mechanics that I thought worked very well in its favor. I can't comment on much more of it due to having only played it perhaps a grand total of 45 minutes.
Which is why I can't help but point out it is you who is being rather confrontational by making the bold claim that is empirically impossible for one to be excited for this game. Still, it's your opinion and I really can't do much about that. From a certain perspective, I suppose I can see why Brink isn't all that interesting. For all the good things about it, there are a ton of little things I can see irritating people about it. Just figured I'd let you know why I think Brink is a game that's worth looking forward to, even if it is impossible for your world view to comprehend the concept.

Bravo. My points exactly and some. As I stated, my ideal game would have a fully destructible environment. Including the floor/earth. *salivation* :)

I dont understand how this game has such little hype. Its the first multiplayer FPS to try something different in ages.
Being the spiritual successor to games like Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory, and Enemry Territory: Quake Wars, in addition to the SMART system, is much of the reason I am buying into the hype. The old multiplayer FPS games they have made have been my all time favorites. I still play both Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory, and Enemry Territory: Quake Wars quite frequently.
And the grand total is... drum roll please... 191 252 565 540 277 502... over 190 quadrillion!!! ahhhhh
can i get a demo, the only fps im buying without a demo for now on is battlefield 3. Been burned twice by killzone 3 and crysis 2, no more full price fps without a demo
I was just on their website and seen a guy jump off the side of a wall that sold me right their on an already day 1 purchase lol.
Halo Reach has a female avatar option, and thats not really a character customization game.
And customization options mean absolutely nothing when it comes to shooters anyway.

The point being that the developers are attempting to brag about how varied their character customization is yet they obviously excluded the female gender right from the get go.

Aside from you being such a total tool that you HAVE to compare every FPS to other mainstream ones. Your barely coherent half-thought isn't a valid argument. Still, for the sake of sh*ts and giggles I'll actually reply with this. Does Battlefield even have any character customization? (NOT class customization or DLC skins) And COD's isn't all that significant aside from face paint and specific classes looking a certain way. By your logic, if a genre doesn't have it, then no other game in said genre should bother with that feature? Battlefield being rather successful in general has no couch coop for online multiplayer. So Halo should have scrapped having guests or multiple profiles playing online on the same console? I didn't think so. So would you kindly follow your own advice?
OT: Quake & Unreal Tournament series had female models back then, even Gears of War 3 has a few of them now and I've yet to see any issues with balancing in any of the games competitive modes. So you'll have to excuse me if I'm not buying their cop out of an excuse for not adding chicks into the fray. I for one, when given the choice, almost always opt for a female model in most of my games.
In the end. I would have loved playing a support class and being rewarded for that but Brink was never a day one for me. This just kinda seals that deal. I'll probably check it out sometime after it comes out. NOT looking forward to customizing their male doods though. Seriously, check out the videos... Those guys are fugly. Probably why they're so angry... and fighting, or why all the women left. XD
