The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
Nothing says quality gameplay by assuring people that you don’t have to worry about actually playing! The game plays itself while you’re not playiing!
But it comes coupled with reassurances that if you do deign to actually learn to play their game, there’ll be more boobs.
Oh well, at least this bizarre combination of bikini armor, promises of gameplay and promises that you don’t need to play is unique right…
Oh…

Bulletstorm is getting a remaster, so it’s probably time to talk about how Trishka Novak ended up looking more like a pinup model than a “merciless stealth assassin” even after the team fought to cut down on her arbitrary sex appeal.
What’s interesting is that despite his unwillingness to consider that perhaps, there were some bad decisions made here, Adrian is apparently in agreement with us over the outfits in some other people’s games:

Freya from Battlerite totally proves this is a very creative game… she’s such an original Viking/Norse lady with her flimsy bikini top, two Mjolnirs and horned headpiece totally not similar to what Marvel’s Loki wears in their female form.
Gotta say, though, from waist down the design would be fine… too bad the artists are firmly in the club of designers who think that Vikings invented either the bikini or metal boob cups.

Because why the fuck not *wild cackling ensues* [get the mods]
Mass Effect and 300… but sexier. It’s the mashup we need and deserve. Kaidan and James are so empowered they don’t even need Shepard!

The gallery of the Spooky Lady category from our Overwatch Halloween Contest comes in two halves. Huge thank you to all the participants!
Artist credits are on the caption of each image. We’re glad to display all of them as the evidence that Blizzard could do so much better for Halloween – even the simplest ideas prove that there’s more to novelty female costumes than “sexy witch”, whitewashed undead or shameless exotification.
Sexy Gentlemen category entries can be viewed here.

PS: We’re withholding Female Armor Bingo posts this week to properly display and promote all the contest artwork. Bingo Sunday will come back next weekend!
It’s kind of worrying that there’s literally a “publisher” on steam who seems to be signing on indie developers trying to get their first break in games with but only if the can put ridiculously sexualized armor on the art.
Yes, we’ve featured Storm of Spears and The Chosen before, but at least their cover art seemed to have something to do with their content – this one doesn’t even seem to have women as gladiators… just male warriors and women servant/people who agree to marry you.
Still got to have bikini armor though, otherwise how will people know it’s about gladiator stuff? Well, the good news it seems this strategy is working about as well as you’d expect… even though though they keep returning to it.

The complete collection of entries we had for Sexy Gentlemen category of our Overwatch Halloween Competition. Again, a very big thank you to everyone who entered.
Artist credits are on the caption of each image, we were especially impressed with the many ways that Junkrat could be shown to have an empowered sexier side and hope Blizzard will take this message on board.
The Spooky Ladies entries will be posted later this weekend.
