"It's a general problem with low-brow / majority entertainment.  Base stereotypes appeal to the lowest common denominator.  I'm not saying it doesn't have a right to exist, but it is undoubtedly sexist.  The argument does go for males as well.  Male characters aren't well rounded... they are either gruff cowboy-like marines, insanely muscular charicatures, or suave stubble faced "Drake" like adventurers.

In supporting and enjoying such entertainment you simply have to be honest with yourself.  You are enjoying the propogation of stereotypes.  It doesn't make you evil, but you must be aware of it.  It wouldn't be so much of an issue if a greater balance of products existed.  However, that's one of the negatives of free-market entertainment... the base and the vile will always have an edge so long as the culture accepts it."

"Because the developer obviously kick starts everything with quality content as when the game launches users wouldn't have had time to generate anything yet.  The UGC from the devs is good on its own, but it's not good in the scope of the game."

"I am in complete agreement.  After doing 3 UGC missions all from the developer, I now avoid them completely.  They break the experience of the game... one moment I'm helping to save the city, the next I'm completely detached from it and flying through red rings for points.

I'd much have preferred them to spend the extra man-power making better and more unique in-game missions, and shoring up the weak elements of the game.

I'm a huge fan of the original title, and while I enjoy inFamous 2, much of the magic is lost this time around."

"t you mentioned was one of the main reasons I was a fan of 1up (and GFW in particular). It wasn't so much about reviewing a game... it was discussing. Games should be played based on your own personal interest. Usually the games I love the most get mediocre scores from 'critics'. Criticism in general is something to be ignored. But the discussion and advancement of thought on the things we enjoy and don't should be fos"
