I wholeheartedly agree. I’m personally at the “grandma over the shoulder” stage and as much as some idiots on here disagree a lot of these female character designs are over the top with their, uh, interesting outfits. However I will support good looking women in games against these journos because they hate it so much.
Strangely, I always leaned that way even as a teenager. I am still a straight guy, it is not like a mostly naked woman is going to be a turn off to me, it is just that it's...boring. Its hard to describe, but just seeing a woman in a bikini for me was always just "Ok, you're sexy. I guess?" Meanwhile, looks along these lines to be significantly more appealing and sexy than just letting it all hang out. Perhaps something in my psychology get set from a young age and continued on, because that is all I can think would do it.
It's called not thinking solely with your baser instincts. The woman you linked in the image has character -- she's wearing something that aligns with what she does or is interested in, so it's more than just skin in a barely-there bikini.
Her appearance is designed to tell a story about her character, and if you're attracted to that aspect (or multiple aspects) of that character, it reflects on what you would prefer when wanting to be around someone like that, or traits you might like from a potential companion, as opposed to just a wench in a bikini who is indicating that she's sexy and wants to be oogled, and the men who want to oogle her and wank one off with zero further thought on her value beyond that.
Which is a totally foreign concept to women and fags. Their complaints about straight men's taste have an element of projection to them.
A game having a bunch of over-sexualize characters just feels cheap. Like, you can’t trust the game to hold my attention so you shove a bunch of naked women in my face, really? I agree with you last point, a well stylized outfit with a traditionally attractive woman is much better.
For me it makes sense for people to wear clothes that fit the setting.
That doesn't mean I want the women wearing them to look like they belong in the customer service line of Walmart on government check day.
It does get... repetitive, eh? Like hentai manga with boobs in the 2nd half of the alphabet (M size tits, that's a real thing, apparently) just get boring. They're just gigantic and distracting really. Freakshow stuff.
I'll take a pretty/cute face and a good attitude any day.
I agree. For me, there is a bell curve of boob size (weighted around C-DD) and once you get over something like H cup it starts to loop back around to becoming unattractive (dependent on proportion to body style, obviously). While I am not going to do some fedora-tipping pretend answer and say looks dont matter, I completely agree that personality and face are far more important to me than the overall body...even if that is still important.
