lmao... what is that outfit? ahaha. Although, I feel similarly when I see skimpy outfits on any character that is supposed to be fighting. It will never make sense lol
"Useful armor"... love the sarcasm, but how many of them feel that way when it's a sexy woman dressed like that? Yeeaaahh... I hardly read comments like that about female characters. Usually it's comments about fapping and marrying the character.
Omg, and the comments about "target audience shift" lol Sorry, but I'm not going to play a game just because someone is dressed like that, I'm not a dude ;p

These are the same men that champion a woman in bikini armor, but are taken aback by a male in armor that isn't really productive.
I just love the contradiction. That outfit is PRETTY AWFUL, but the meat of this is about the double standard. I don't like how women in games are nothing more than eye candy. Even in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the only NPCs that fall to the Dark Side (that you can have as a companion character - so Raven not included) are female characters. They're shown as weak. Even one of the Sith Warrior stories there is a female Twi'lek with a shock collar.
I mean, we have to face this blatant sexism and women are weaker than men all over cyber-space in the world of gaming. Why do men get all bent out of shape? It's silly.
Female gamers are popping up everywhere. This was bound to happen. Just like the male customers are spoon fed their ridiculous ladies in bikinis, we need ours, too! Even if some of us don't agree with armor that isn't practical on either sex.

What always gets me in women super heroes, is how often they are wearing corsets?
So here I am about to go into battle, I choose my best sword, my biggest shield, my slinkiest jeans, and a top that prevents me from breathing properly..............
Haha, yeah. Sex sells! It just doesn't work for me =p I'd prefer everyone was fully dressed if they are supposed to be fighting.
Other than that, I'm not against appealing, or sexy, outfits, but if you're making them for the females, you better make it for the males, too! To be fair, that is.
It is definitely silly when guys are outraged over it when it's finally happening to male characters. I know there are some guys who feel that way about the female characters, too, but it seems rare.
Females have always been gaming, and we have always had to put up with the sexist, eye-rolling trash in video games. I try not to let any of that get in the way of me playing games, but it really can be annoying to have to deal with that.
Some examples are... Boobs bouncing all over the place and sexual noises when jumping or dying... lol when will we see things bouncing in guys crotches, and when will we hear male characters sound like they are "enjoying themselves" when they are hurt or dying, too? ;-)
