Comment Now we know what those who "don't watch t.v." do. (Score 1) 549
I haven't had time to watch television in years.
However, I used to find time to play games. (Although I've now run out of time for everything.)
Anyways, I have played TR (the first one). I found it fun for a while, but the game control wasn't as easy as I expected it to be, so I never finished it. I, personally, couldn't care less about how they animate the character. I think that most women are able to see that it's an animation, and as such, is supposed to be fantasy. I seriously doubt that the reason for lack of female testers is because of the animation. I actually EXPECT the female characters to be buxom and thin. I'd be disappointed if they weren't.
That said, I do generally prefer the non-gruesome games. RPGs, and ones like Castlevania (and Tempest!). They do make some shooting games that are for fun as well (Point Blank, Time Crisis isn't actually gruesome either). But in general, I'll play if it's Interesting, Easy to play, and I can Save it. I want a game with a story. I want to find out what happens next. T.R. might have had those attributes, but because the game play was difficult, I had better things to do with my time.
That said, it's very possible that some people like certain types of games that others don't. e.g. I play games much much more than my husband does. But anymore, it's a time issue, and I just don't have the time to play like I did in college.
