[DiipuSurotu]

My pick:

Quiet from the Metal Gear series. Seriously the way they depict this "character" is borderline offensive!

What's yours GAF?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

It's Quiet.

She looks freaking awesome in her XOF uniform in the intro though.

 

[luulubuu]

 

[rje]

Does this mean you're not ashamed of your words and deeds?

 

[Diablohead]

MMO females come to mind, armor everywhere apart from 90% of their torso and thighs.

 

[Talha]

I totally agree she can wear clothes and still be alive, if Kojima had done it Like Nier Automata it would been more acceptable

 

[Eolz]

That girl from Star Ocean V.
Akiman wtf.

 

[Iriscomeback]

That Xenoblade 2 girl

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Figured Quiet would show up here.

 

[dragonlife]

Quiet is a legitimate trash can of a design in terms of outfit.

 

[Strangelove77]

Quiet looks fucking awesome. Kind of a lame character though.


Any who, Maria from Castlevania Judgment is so real shit.

 

[Rymuth]

Warrior Within Shadee

I mean, yikes...

 

[Data West]

That girl from Star Ocean V.
Akiman wtf.

I love this design

 

[EvilKatarn]

That girl from Star Ocean V.
Akiman wtf.

Yeah pink hair's face is a crime against video games. Why did you post the second picture though? She's not in there.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Like half of the examples in the other thread lol.

But yeah, Quiet and Cindy from FF15 come to mind.

 

[DR2K]

It's Quiet.

She looks freaking awesome in her XOF uniform in the intro though.

How is she breathing?

 

[Stallion Dan]

It's just a shameless, boring rip off of everything from pop culture combined. Whining to the ends of the earth too. And we had to lose an icon for it...

 

[Rajang]

Figured Quiet would show up here.

Yep, she is complete trash. And her backstory why she is dressed that way is even more ridiculous.

 

[WonderzL]

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Bikini armour the thread tbh. Don't think I've seen a single bikini armour that doesn't look like shit and have obviously bland motivations for the design

 

[Data West]

'but muh backstory'

 

[Black Republican]

basically all the female characters in the neptune jrpg series

 

[Big Chungus]

theres a reason why shes naked

 

[sixteen-bit]

Jynx cuz of the racist implications

 

[Crankshaft]

Woah we don't need two "best" dressed topics.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Surprised nobody didn't say Velvet Crowe yet.

 

[E_Darkness]

I see skindentation, that means it's a good design.

 

[Ray Down]

Did anyone of Gaf believe this?

 

[Gator86]

Saw the thread title and immediately went to Quiet.

 

[WonderzL]

Did anyone of Gaf believe this?

I didn't. I hope nobody did because there is no single excuse for that. lol.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

That girl from Star Ocean V.
Akiman wtf.

Ohh good pick

 

[Yohane]

Does this mean you're not ashamed of your words and deeds?

Words? Yes

Deeds. Of course not.

 

[Linkark07]

Fire Emblem Awakening started the trend, but it got worse in Fates. The female armors are awful.

Camilla for example:

 

[RootCause]

'but muh backstory'

Wth! 😂🤣

 

[Vlaphor]

Quiet and Ivy are two of my favorites, but chose what you will. For me, my most hated is

...this garbage ass character (reboot Lara Croft). Not only does she constantly switch between apathy and whining as a response to any external stimuli, but she's supposed to be the replacement for one of my favorite video game characters, original Lara Croft.

ROTR is the only time I've ever skipped cutscenes in a game because I couldn't stand the protagonist any more and I literally have zero enthusiasm for the next game in the franchise because I know it'll star her in it.

 

[Astral Dog]

That girl from Nier

 

[kromeo]

"18"

 

[Kinyou]

I expect a lot of crossover with the "best female character design" thread

 

[Dad]

whoever this thing is from the X Blades cover I always see posted in bad box art threads

 

[WonderzL]

you guys are making me sick what the fuck


Edit: let me say old Pauline. what the fuck are those boobs

 

[xenorevlis]

How is she breathing?

This is before her nano-mach- er, you know what I mean.

 

[DylanEno]

The dingus on the left.

 

[Mr. Diaz]

Yeah pink hair's face is a crime against video games. Why did you post the second picture though? She's not in there.

The girl with the blonde hair, duh!

 

[DiipuSurotu]

'but muh backstory'

Lmao

And she isn't even sexy. Those ugly shoes are criminal.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Yep, she is complete trash. And her backstory why she is dressed that way is even more ridiculous.

I mean...Ehh...It's Metal Gear....


Anyways, I'm guessing female characters with fewer clothes makes their designs bad.

This thread is about character design, not character writing. I can agree that Lara was pretty poorly written in ROTR but I think her reboot design is miles better than the older ones.

 

[DemWalls]

Sera from Inquisition. And I don't say this because she's not your typical hottie, I truly appreciate "average" looking characters. But something about her face in-game just looks terribly off. Oh, and her outfits generally look pretty bad.

Truth be told, though, what I said above is true for most of Inquisition's characters.

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

Bland, boring, generic, grey, uninspired, uncreative, unattractive, non-feminine, terrible.

Hello, i'm a mechanic, my body is constantly gonna be exposed to substances that are not good for skin at all, I literally am never seen fixing a car, I do however, have scenes where I get to wipe the windshield:

Hi, I'm the ultimate culmination of my creator's decade long downward spiral when it comes to the representation of women, I literally can't talk or wear clothing or else i'll fucking die, btw, I will literally strip what little clothing I have and pose for you like a fucking animal with dead eyes if you take me with on your missions, please pay no attention to my rape scenes or the fact that I literally spend large chunks of the game inside a cage:

Hi, my designer literally gave up:

Hi, I'm a racist stereotype where turning evil literally turns my skin dark, gives me tribal tattoos, and increases my breast size, I literally turned evil because the hero who i've never met won't love me:

Bland, boring, generic, grey, uninspired, uncreative, unattractive, non-feminine, terrible.

What? Also uncreative literally compared to what?. A long running line of tit ninjas?
