Might still be better to actually finish the first game they set out to do. There's the risk that if they fail to finish the first game, they may be sued by angry backers (since the TOS does allow for suing the company if it fail to deliver the "rewards"). That potential lawsuit could very well sink their second game.

Tropes vs. Women in Video Games is coming out in a week.

I think we can put the "she ran off with the money" rumors to rest now. People will have to find some other conspiracy theory to circlejerk over.

So I asked this on another site but for people who have watched this I have to ask a question and it is a simple question (since their first topic is on Damsels in distress).

Is the conclusion that Damsels in Distress are a bad thing inherantly and that there shouldn't be damsels?

It really is the question of quality and determines whether or not this entire thing is worth listening to

The closest she comes to saying it shouldn't be used is saying it should be used less often than it is now.

I can't even think of an example off the top of my head that isn't Princess Peach.

Zelda.

Zelda.

You mean the one that spent seven years kicking ass while the male her was frozen in time?

Ok to be honest I am cherry picking a specific part from a single game, but

Shit, forget OoT. Goddamn Tetra!

[Lord Dullard]

Well, she was also a pirate tomboy in Wind Waker. Hehe.

[Neonivek]

My reasoning as to why Zelda tends to be captured is that as the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom she forsees that instead of fighting Ganon with her armies behind her, that the best thing for her people is to surrender

And... she actually tends to be right. Heck in Twilight Princess that is probably what saved the entire kingdom.

And then later theres an armyless battle between the three of them, judging by recent zeldas. Wind waker has a 2 on 1, twilight princess has a complicated mess of an end boss that has both a fight against (puppet) zelda and a horseback 2 on 1, and I think Spirit Tracks had something like it but I don't remember exactly.

I shouldn't have to explicitly say what the video is when it's literally the only thing being discussed in this very topic at the moment. But here. Let me be explicit.

It is the video.

That is being discussed.

In this topic.

Right now.

The text was even directed to everyone who was talking about the video who hadn't watched it.

It's kinda obvious what it is. But hey, maybe it's stupid, so we should not tell you what it is.

[Leafsnail]

The video feels a bit odd somehow.  The videogame trivia was often interesting but wasn't really tied into her points, which made the whole thing feel a bit disjointed.
