Quick Look: Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves

You're right, of course, those situations are insane. But they aren't related to sexism, they're related to crappy market research and ridiculous advertising strategies devised by publishers. It's the devil known as focus testing and marketing analysts. They get stupid ideas in their heads, and suddenly you get Booker looking like some generic action hero on the cover of Bioshock: Infinite. And that isn't sexism, it's stupidity.

The majority of non-casual gamers are still male, but the gap is probably narrowing, so it's only a matter of time that developers won't have this problem. I feel that blaming the gaming community is not fair, however. And of course there is a backlash to the accusation - it feels like a personal attack, and most people know they aren't and have never been sexist in the slightest.

If you want more female protagonists in your games - support games with them! Some of my favorite games of all time had female protagonists, and were also critically acclaimed: The Longest Journey, Beyond Good and Evil, Portal.

This game is WEIRD

Thanks for covering this one guys, I was gonna give it a pass without really looking into it. I bought it before the Quick Look was over.

Dude, Dog Soldiers was about ten years ago.

I'll take a sick Lich any day of the week.

I always said weer-wolf. Where-wolf throws me for a loop every time.

Was getting this game mixed with the Van Helsing game that came out on steam recently, glad that I got both on the steam sale. This werewolf game looks interesting but will try it later. Haven't touched this game yet after finding video issues on the game where half the screen is covered in a black box & happier with the Witcher/Torchlight mix of the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (which should get a Vinny quick look).
