Video Games Where Gender Matters

 Video Games Where Gender Matters

One thing I really enjoy in games is where the choices you make matter, but only a few have gone so far to make the choice of gender alter the game. Here's a list of games (that I will consistently update) where gender matters.

RPGs:

Dragon Age Origins

Dragon Age Inquisition (Only in Romance Options)

Knights of the Old Republic

Knights of the Old Republic II

Mount&Blade: Warband

Mass Effect 1 - 3 (Mostly in the Romance Options, but some see differences in Shepard's personality)

Cyberpunk 2077 (Only in Romance Options)

Fallout

Fallout 2

Fallout New Vegas (Differing Dialogue)

Divinity: Original Sin 2

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Jade Empire

Baldur's Gate series

Horror:

Resident Evil 

Resident Evil 2 (You will eventually have to play both genders to complete the whole game)

JRPGs:

Rune Factory 4

Persona 3 Portable

Fire Emblem Awakening (Only in Romance Options, and Classes)

Fire Emblem Fates (Only in Romance Options, and Classes)

Fire Emblem Three Houses  (Only in Romance Options, and Classes)

Interactive Fiction:

These Reluctant Years

I, The Forgotten One

Defiled Hearts

War For the West

Games Like Silent Hill 2

 Games Like Silent Hill 2 In light of Silent Hill 2's Remake coming soon, I decided to compile a whole list of recommendations of games like it, before realising, wow, Silent Hill 2 is a very unique game. I don't give up however, so here's a list of games with similar aspects/ vibes. Similar Focus on Characters: Rule of Rose - This takes place in 1930s England, giving the player control of Jennifer, who becomes trapped in a game of hierarchy. Like Silent Hill 2, Rule of Rose focuses on the trauma of its characters, more specifically Jennifer. It also has very janky combat, and very outdated controls, but the story is definitely worth it. Now, a physical copy of the game costs a lot (PAL version costs around £500 and upwards), but you can emulate it or even watch a playthrough on YouTube. The CGI cutscenes are stunning, and the music is top tier, albeit there not being much of it. Console: PS2 The Suffering - In this game, you take control of Torc, who is on death row for ki

Silent Hill 2 Remake - Hopes and Fears

 Silent Hill 2 Remake - Hopes and Fears Now, I don't want to sound like a Negative Nancy, but I both have high hopes, but also very massive doubts on the handling of the cult classic. I don't believe that Konami would let Bloober Team mess the 'official coming back' of the franchise, but Bloober Team's track record isn't exactly the best. Along with the remake, it'd be pretty cool to get a port of the original on modern consoles. Being a massive fan of the series, I have decided to compile a list of what I hope they improve upon in the game, and what I hope they don't change (minimal changes at the most). Hopes - This is a definite change coming to the remake, but apparently there will be improved combat. I didn't mind the combat too much in the original; it kind of added to the survival aspect as James isn't necessarily a battle genius. I would love for some improvement to be made however, because in the original, it was rather difficult to be a

Marketisation Of Horror Gaming: Mascot Horror

The Marketisation Of Horror Gaming: Mascot Horror. Horror as a genre has always been a niche, since like forever. Not everyone likes being scared, which makes it extremely hard for horror games specifically to earn as much money, as their, let's say, action counterparts. But when there is a will, there is a way, thus came the beauty of mascot horror. Personally, the most noticeable start to this subgenre, was the Slenderman game (that came out in 2011 I believe?). However, the biggest Mascot Horror, which in turn, started a strain of copy-cat games, is Five Nights at Freddie's. The first game in the series has an interesting premise, where you are a security guard in a pizzeria, full of animatronics. The game is essentially a jump-scare simulator, but garnered so much attention from YouTubers, it became one of, if not the most, successful indie horror game of all time. Just months later, a sequel came out as well as several copycats trying to ride on its success. So why did it
