There are a lot of games I won’t play because they over sexy the female armor to the point it’s just laughably unrealistic and negatively distracting.
I love seeing sexy women, don’t get me wrong, like Aloy always had the midriff-exposing gear skin on so I could see her belly during conversations, but that gear was still practical. Maybe risky for one of the more vulnerable areas, but something I could see existing irl.
Fanservice games that over-sexy the women just scream “this game isn’t very good and is banking on teen/ya boys being horny”. Not a good look.
It’s interesting how people scrutinise every inch of female armor but if a male barbarian is wearing a loincloth in snow nobody cares, if a Knight wears plate armor with abs nobody cares, gladiator wears nothing except for waist armor and shoulder pads nobody cares.
Generally that’s still aimed at the male gaze, not the female gaze, hence it’s not actually having the shoe on the other foot.
Oh yes, girls dont play God of War, forgot that
I don’t think people are usually complaining about female barbarians being half naked. But when you have a guy in plate so heavy that you can’t see him under it standing next to a girl in a metal bikini and they’re supposed to be the same class, that’s pretty weird.
