Who is most awesome lady protagonist system wise (POLL)?

Samus Aran. **** Other M. That game's portrayal of her is completely inconsistent with the rest of the series. She's a silent, cold, calculating badass who will massacre an entire species without batting an eye and imprison the last one for scientists to poke and prod.

As much as I love Samus and Joanna Dark, to me it's LARA CROFT all the fucking way!

And sure it's unquestionable that Samus was the first Lady of Gaming. But it's more arguable that Lara is far more prolific, who had done so much more to advance the position of female gaming protagonists. Plus she's greatly recognized outside the gaming media (even with 2 movies to her name).

Also; troubling that Ada Wong and Aya Brae is absent from that list :(

Too bad there aren't any good spy shooters anymore. Only dude bro shooter #34224

Who's Aya Brae? I thought about Ada, but decided on Jill from RE lol.

Terra Branford

from FF6, She can Morph increase her spell power and cast ultima twice with X-Magic, dealing 9999 to all enemies twice

shes super powerful nobody can do more dmg then her ultimate spell caster

Agrias Oaks

Most powerful female knight in ivalice she can ride chocobo's and use stasis sword to kill tons of enemies in one shot

She can equip excalibur for haste and kill 4 people at once very powerful

Tifa Lockhart

strongest female fighter in all midgar, can equip Premium Heart ultimate weapon

has a very powrful final heart limit break

punches people to death

Chun Li

Super sexy super kicking your face you can't even see it

kicks you constantly from china and just destroys you

Cate Archer or nothing

@indzman: Aya Brae stars in the Parasite Eve series :)

Why are people listing and naming all these random newblock video game females most people have never heard of?

Everyone knows Lara Croft. Everyone knows shes a badass, or was before she went all goody two shoes in the reboot.

Regret missing playing PE :)

Lara Croft. How many Tomb Raider games are there now> Over 10 I believe. Samus was probably the most played female character though.

Seems Samus most favourite amongst SW :)

Lara didn't go "goody two shoes" in the reboot. She practically massacred an island population of feral savages. I think you're talking about how she started out helpess and vulnerable, which was just the starting point of a new origin story. But as the central theme of an origin, it chronicles how the experience made her grow into the strong capable woman we know Lara to be.

And I certainly hope you're not advocating the myth that being badass (or courageous in more general terms) is being devoid of fear.

From the primary titles, Rise of the Tomb Raider will be the 10th installment. This doesn't include the portable ports, nor the two spin-off titles; Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris.

Uh... can I go genre specific instead?

April Ryan or Zoe Castillo.

I did quite enjoy the reboot, even tho it was basically an open world Uncharted game, and a bit too easy.

I just hope shes older in the next game, and looks more like the Lara from back then. No, she doesn't need a tiny waist, big boobs and lips. She just doesn't need to be a 17 year old swim suit model either. In the first Tomb Raider she was like 30 years old.

ofc

I'm very much liking the look of the new Lara. Sh'e not just more realistic than any of the previous models, but how natural and organic she appears as a real flesh and blood human being, and not overly "perfect" as a synthetic construct.

But as for the age, well I think it was a good idea to go back to her roots, so that entails amking her younger. But really they did a remarkable job of creating a Lara as a younger version of the one we previously knew, as she retains the right amount of familiarity. I say stick with the younger (and more real looking) Lara for the span of this continuity.

Jade from Beyond Good and Evil

New Lara feels quite realistic, vulnerable compared to older superwoman lara's ... imo. Someone we could relate to :)

I have to say it's a tie for me Tifa (FF7) and Samus (Metroid/SM), for the sake of the poll though I'll go with Samus.

Alrighty then...

Chun Li (fighting)

Ivy (fighting) - Not really a protagonist per se, but...

Kitana (fighting) - She comes close, considering she's one of the main heroes of MK

Joanna Dark (FPS)

Lilith (FPS/RPG)

Samus (action/adventure, sci-fi)

Jade (action/adventure, sci-fi)

Lara Croft (action/adventure, platformer)

Alex Roivas (horror)

Rayne (action/adventure, horror) - Getting her first game soon on a side note, but from what I've watched of her from the gameplay footage, I like her quite a bit.

Great list.

Who's Lilith (FPS/RPG) ? I mean from which game? :)

Borderlands character. She was fleshed out more in Borderlands 2 (as an NPC, but I like her all the same, still prefer her over Maya).

never mind him... he's probably one of those kids that can't separate video games from reality

Forgot all about Lilith lol.

Heh

Metal Gear Solid 3's The Boss.

The correct answer is Lilith the Siren from Borderlands DUH!?!?!?!

SUP - Lilith

Ehhhhh I really don't like any characters from any game... None of them are memorable in the sense that I would be able to pick out my favorite of all of them. I don't know. I can only say that I'm playing DA Inquisition and Sera would probably fit here.

I chose Bayonetta, there's lots of great leading lady's in gaming but so few deserve the title of "awesome" like Bayonetta has earned.

You used to be fun :P

Samus, because some of her games are among the bests games ever.

Samus Aran is the only logical answer.

I have lost my Faith in you TC :(

Samus Aran

My renegade femshep

I voted for Samus.

Marth

Samus (Metroid)

Celes (Final Fantasy VI)

Lara (Tomb Raider)

Claire (Resident Evil)

Bayonetta (Bayonetta)

Samus Aran :P

As i didn't mention Faith? =P
