Class A example for you, The recently released “Orcs Must Die: Unchained has some very questionable female armor selections. My example (being one of many) is the character Smolder.
Oh wow… Orcs Must Die always had some issues with double standards… well hopefully this doesn’t look as bad when you see the actual model…
Well Smolder does have one skin that isn’t terrible, maybe she’s the exception and they haven’t applied these design standards to other female characters…
Suddenly I find myself cheering for the orcs.

Battle thongs courtesy of:
Honorable mentions must go to Scarlet Blade, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Onechanbara and Fire Emblem.
The battle thong is truly one of the most ridiculous tropes in female armor – not because of anything inherently wrong with thongs but rather so many creators inability to grasp that they are tiny bits of underwear that rub very intimate bits.
I get it, butts are fantastic to look at – but there’s times and a places for showing off your ass and none of those are in the middle of a battlefield.

Apparently this is coming to North America in Summer (the northern hemisphere’s summer). Will this be the next game with a controversial localisation?
I have to say, for a turn based game they seem to have spent a disproportionate amount of work on inventing fighting moves that flaunt leggy outfits and teasing upskirt shots.
Given that the game’s title is about how it’s a world ruled by dragons, and your goal being to get rid of dragons – the warriors who are going to jump around like that would get something other than short skirts… or whatever it is the rune-kinght has.

Etrian Odyssey
This is gonna come from a place of love, but still drives me crazy, but Etrian Odyssey has a real issue with being completely erratic on whether it wants to be practical or not.
On one hand you have characters like Guildmaster Marion
or classes like the Protector
And then there’s classes that just kinda… don’t
Granted, we get some manservice too
The part I find most amazing is that based off it’s promotional material, I would never have expected any manservice or whip wielding… well I’m not sure I want to know what she is, in the game. I mean look at the North America cover:
I can only imagine this leads to many awkward conversations with parents walking in when the wrong thing is on the screen.
