Agh, Reading.
1) Are you male or female?
1)Male
2) How often do you play video games?
2) ~No Life Mode Engaged~
2-2) What genre of games do you prefer to play?
2-2) Exploration games like Fallout, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed 2, Zelda 1, Etc.
2-3) Within this time, how much of this is spent on online games? (if none, skip to 5)
2-3) Depends on game. Since my most recent play through was Dark Souls, I would have to say I was online about half the time.
3) Within online games, do you prefer to choose a character based on your gender, or the opposite gender, and why?
3) Mainly speaking for games like Fallout/ElderScrolls, but I play a guy the first time, then my second playthrough I'm a girl to see the differences in Dialouge and stuff.
3-2) When playing as a female, do you use your characters gender to try to get freebies from other players?
3-2) I try to get freebies as a guy :3. But most of the time jokingly
4) When playing online games, do you treat female characters differently to male characters? If so, then why? (anywhere from giving them freebies to killing them for playing a 'guys game'. This includes being kinder to new players)
4) As long as their helping me/trying to kill me, it doesn't matter what gender they are.
4-2) What is your general response to females in games that try to use their gender or sexuality for items/equipment/money?
4-2) I usually don't like beggars, but I'd usually give them the lowest currency/weakest
items, just cause I don't have anything to do with them.
5) What is your general thought when hearing the term 'Girl Gamer' or 'Gamer Girl'?
5) "Oh, she plays games? Invite her over for some Mario Party."
6) How many female gamers do you know?
6) 4 or 5, but I wouldn't call them "gamers" ( go to ~7~ for why)
6-2) Of the female gamers you know, including yourself if you are a girl, what majority are casual gamers?
6-2) Only one that I know of doesn't like long-term games (Last awhile), so I guess just her.
7) Do you think that casual gamers are real gamers, or not?
7) I consider Gamers as people who make gaming BIG. (Emphasis :3) People who go on to play at a bunch of contests, try to 100% as many games as they can, people who devote all of their time to finding every little thing in games. Their isn't many I wonder consider "Gamers"
8) Do you think there should be a market of games designed for girls only, or should it continue to be a unisex genre?
8) Games for girl's only would be cutting into Game Profits by at least 50%, maybe more, so Games would continue to be for both genders. But I think that it should be whoever want's to play the game can. I've played Monster High on DS. I ain't ashamed.
9) Within games, what is your opinion on the sexualization of female characters? (from skimpy outfits to constant flirting with males (e.g. Mass Effect))
9)I Dunno. Doesn't come up to often in games I play.
9-2) Using the above as an example, what do you think could be done to fix this?
9-2) Less I guess?
10) If you have anything else to add, please do so here as it will help the research data.
10) All people who play games are the same to me. Gender doesn't matter.
