Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Sharpandpointies]

To be fair, that's from a DLC featuring the Mayor's Daughter. And if you ask me, giving a character who's only ever been a corpse up until this DLC came out her own mode where she goes on a zombie killing rampage is pretty dang cool.

Also, Claire Redfield in the main game is dressed much more sensibly.

Yeah it’s a nod to old school horror movies.

As noted, I'm totally cool with Claire's clothing in-game.

The other? Having her run around in white lingerie in the rain is dragging it into the 'clearly done for male fanservice' area, for me. :P

Mileage, vary, etc....

Finished Umbrella Academy.

spoilers:

Ellen Paige rocking that white suit! Did not expect to see moon busting in this series but there you go. Pretty good finale but the fact that The Handler forgot that she could Za Warudo felt weird to me.

I admit they could've given you the option for some alternate outfits for her.

Very old school.

I enjoyed it. I want to check the comic now.

Ada Wong is...*wiggles hand* Short cocktail dress with enormous stiletto heels... Could be worse, admittedly.

Claire certainly is dressed well, kudos for that.

And yes, RE at least has had actual female protagonists who kicked rear and took names.

I suppose I'm used to playing stuff like Bioware RPG's (Mass Effect: armor is a little form-fitting, but it's cursed ARMOR, not 'strategically placed plates') and The Division.

For all of its engine errors, the Division did just fine in having all of the woman dressing perfectly logically for a bloody winter in NYC (they essentially wore the same clothing as the men, only fitted to their bodies just as the men had the clothing fitted to theirs), and scratch-zero DLC sexualized costumes for them -- I mean, first game evar I've seen where there isn't some option to have someone running around in a short skirt/lingerie/bikini. Cripes, the closest thing to that was the tight jeans both men and women could wear, which...fitted both equally as tightly. Winter jackets were winter jackets, armoured vests were armoured vests, boots were boots, shoes were shoes, no heels in sight, and everyone got the same awesome selection of hats. Not even a single belly-button reveal in sight.

It was winter in the Big Apple, for crying out loud, in the middle of a biological apocalypse.

...of course some players whined about that, asking for Female Clothing DLC's so they could run around fighting and killing in winter in a dress and heels. Yep, yep, just what we want to see in this 'realistic' game, every male player with a woman character having her wear a cheerleader outfit, or a ballroom gown.

-_-

The designers caved on a lot of things in-game that they shouldn't have messed with, but thank goodness that wasn't one of them. Man, it was awesome running through that game with my wife, and both of our characters looking like what they were: special operatives in the middle of winter wearing stuff they've had to scrounge during a supply-short epidemic situation.

Would have looked dumb anyway (moreso than usual); the armor went on TOP of the inner clothing, under the jackets. Again, realistic, but some woman in a ball-gown would have looked like a woman in a ball-gown in a very heavy bullet-proof vest, with gloves, knee guards, backpack, holster with combat webbing, and (in the Dark Zone or contaminated areas) a half-face mask.

I mean, if I played these sorts of games, I would totally want to wear a ballgown under my combat armour.

You and all of the women in the world, according to some games. :P

Wait to the SMF movies come out.

Then you'll have something to really bitch about.

[FistofIron]

The New Super-Man is a pretty cool series. I love the Justice League of China.

No idea what that is.

Clearly it's something I'll not like.

Nah, I highly doubt it.

Unless you have a twisted sense of humor.

[Sharpandpointies]

That's rather what I said. "Clearly it's something I'll not like." Bolded for emphasis.
