@gamingonlinux The only shooter I play is VALORANT because so many women play it. It's honestly refreshing and makes my pubs so much friendlier

@gamingonlinux My Fiancee is better at DPS in Overwatch 2 than me... It makes me so proud and embarrassed at the same time 😅 (Her Bastion damage numbers are filthy)

@gamingonlinux on the flip side I'm glad more stereotypical "girl game" genres are trying to open up to cis/straight men.

Games are for everyone!

@gamingonlinux sounds like a skill issue in your case lol jk

@gamingonlinux does not one remember Stevie Case (Killcreek)?

@gamingonlinux it was the fastest unfollow I ever made yesterday.

@gamingonlinux my fiancee (@milehighmusings) loves WoW, games are for everyone.

@gamingonlinux Indeed, I've played with women who are very good, better than me, the issue and toxicity comes when they try to use mics to communicate with the team, then the sexism and hate starts.

There need to be a stronger report system, and bans, even for first time offences, devs need to show it's unexceptable.

@gamingonlinux I *thought* my wife wasn’t really into shooters, but maybe it was just the sci-fi-ish subgenre I prefer. 7 Days to Die is one of her favorites now, and we’ve almost beat Tiny Tina together. You know what they say about assumptions…

@gamingonlinux i play shooters and im better than you 😎

@gamingonlinux My wife and I played a bunch of Destiny 2 back before Bungie ruined it, and had a great laugh (her weakness is jumping puzzles), but also games like 7 Days to Die where we can clear PoIs as a team, rescue each other from sticky situations...
...and then spend a session prettifying our base with the loot. 😋

Something something the pair that plays together, stays together?

@gamingonlinux Rainbow 6 Siege is one of my favorite games to play.

@gamingonlinux
Gaming is for everyone
War Thunder is for those who hate themselves.

@gamingonlinux Agreed!! Some of my fav shooters: The Darkness, Borderlands series (esp 2), Mass Effect series, Fallout series (esp New Vegas), BioShock series (esp Infinite), Halo series (esp ODST), & the original Prey.

I also enjoy a bunch of on-rail shooters like the House Of The Dead games and Jurassic Park Arcade! Oh!! And The American Dream (VR)!

I don’t eff with PvP. I’m a co-op gal (unless it’s a “party game”… or halo on the couch with the fam💖). Usually story and writing are 👑 for me.

@gamingonlinux Yeah, that's a very backwards way of looking at things. I also wish that more game companies would realize that those women like co-op shooters, especially couch co-op shooters.

I don't know how many guys have played Army of Two with their Significant Other, Sister, Mom, daughter, etc.

Army of Two (especially couch co op) was very popular with women. If they kept the series going and made playable female characters, it would've been more of a success, imo.
