Just Nut Up And Do It

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

oh my god....

is that promo imagine real?...sweet jesus

That's not even the worst or most "in your face" of it.

This is armor. ARMOR!

I see your armour and rise you ARMOUR!

Spoiler: Not Safe For Work people

Because to hell with vital organs!

The boobs must be protected!

Hey now, EVERYONE knows that such lingerie armor is magically enchanted to make the skin become like steel when impacted with force. It's like that corn-starch stuff that you mix with water to make that crap that's all gooey by itself, but if you slap it it solidifies for a few moments.

And now I have this image in my head of an arrow hitting the armor and the corn-starch exploding. At least then the armor would be easy to repair.

It'd be more like the arrow going straight into her stripper-toned belly and having the arrow shatter against her flesh with a mild explosion of corn-starch from the "wound".

Which I find even funnier, and I can just imagine the healer running to her aid with some more corn-starch and some water.

And now I have this image in my head of an arrow hitting the armor and the corn-starch exploding. At least then the armor would be easy to repair.

You'd have to be quite the marksman to actually hit the ARMOR.

True, and probably a highly accurate bow with a high hit count.

Thank you, sir/madam, for making this otherwise tedious thread a pleasure to read with your comments.

Not sure I really have anything to add; I don't like the sex thing either, blah, blah, blah, people will do what they want, etc...

I just felt BloatedGuppy needed some props.

Sweet.

It's a good day when I can make to to 10AM with one compliment and zero people wanting to kill me.

Design a race of sexually rapacious italian underwear models ... ... And they'll have a go with literally anything. ANYTHING. There is no hole too inhospitable and no pole too intimidating. But they can't interbreed. They only ever spread their own genes.

And then call them the Asari.

Then there's Jack's 'clothing', Miranda's ass, whatshername's Cleavage of Justice... I could go on.

Mass Effect exploits sexuality more than just about any other game that isn't part of the Dead or Alive franchise, so let's not get too excitable about silly armor designs in one soon to be forgotten MMO.

I still get a good chuckle every time I see your avatar, does that count as a compliment? :3

Of course you do. Look at him. He's so jolly and friendly.

It's a pity I'm such an asshole.

 

[Artemicion]

...Huh.

Artistic integrity and whatnot. Though that armor doesn't look particularly safe.

Their sexuality didn't define them. It was only one aspect of those characters. That's why I feel those examples are more acceptable for the general population.

That puts MMOs in a strange position. My Castanic Sorcerer isn't much more then someone who blows stuff up and wears skimpy outfits. I could create a deep character background if I cared for the game's lore. However, most people are choosing certain races and gender for no other reason then they are sexy.

Yeah, they were also defined by various female stereotypes [http://www.gamecritics.com/alex-raymond/beyond-gender-choice-mass-effects-varied-inclusiveness].

Getting access denied to that link at my work. Would you mind explaining your opinion?

 

[Daveman]

Yes... Do that... because, erm... irony or some shit.

 

[HorrendusOne]

Again another topic on an issue that no one would care about enough to discuss unless it was intentionally brought up.

Also I saw a comment on how it MUST be a man pushing all these art styles.
I'd like to say I know quite a few female artists some of which prefer to draw fantasy in a sexy manner rather then a realistic manner simple due to personal taste.

It's really what you make of it. I mean I CAN look at it and see something, attractive, disgusting, silly, childish, egotistical, etc. However a single perspective is just that.... a perspective.

 

[Don Savik]

Can I have a game where I can fire arrows or stab my blade into the exposed parts of the "armor" so I can get quick and efficient kills? That way you can have your nipple straps and everyone won't have to complain about how functional it is because everyone can exploit it.

I mean, what's stopping the monsters from cutting them in two? Really, there is ZERO immersion in the concept.

And scantily clad women in gaming is sooooooooo BORING. You know why hardly any games but niche titles like Dead or Alive exist? BECAUSE ITS BORING. People would much rather see better character development and storytelling, or challenging gameplay.

And in the world of high-speed internet and all the free porn a man could want, why is there so much desire for boobs to be in our video games? Whack one out to lesbian schoolgirls and go back to Tribes: Ascend. NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE.

 

[TehCookie]

If the men are dressed the same way I won't complain. Just make it equal.

It might be just me, but I don't think this is a question of "sexy" vs "sexless". Perhaps I'm in a minority, but I don't find itsy bitsy chainmail bikinis and tits the size of hot air balloons to be the living definition of "sexy". It's not about being PRUDISH. I'll defend the (voluminous) quantities of nudity in Witcher 2, for example. There's something very...juvenile...about the approach to sexuality on display in that Tera art. That's the issue. For me, anyway. I don't think it's evil, but it certainly invites mockery.

Oh come now, you're not an asshole, you're a big puffed up blowfish with often witty and intelligent comments on videogames. I'm just a jackass with a keyboard and nothing to do all day at work.

Just go all the damned way. Design a race of sexually rapacious italian underwear models with pointy ears and neon hair that're born 18, have a lifespan of 7 years, then vanish into a puff of smoke. They dress entirely in pasties (think a more chic/modern version of Adam/Eve wear), they fuck to do literally *everything* (gain sustenance, rest, meditate, learn, excrete, all of it). And they'll have a go with literally anything. ANYTHING. There is no hole too inhospitable and no pole too intimidating. But they can't interbreed. They only ever spread their own genes. That way if you knock one up/get knocked up by one you can look forward to being the parent of a bubbly short lived whore.

This sounds like the Videogame adaptation of Attack of the Pollinic Girls
