Female form appreciation

[VectorSlip]

Shantae has always been one of my all time favorite sexy video game heroines. I've loved her and her games since I first picked up that gameboy cartridge and put it in my advance.

And now she's got so many games out along with half genie hero on the way. I just cant help but be happy and show my appreciation

Spoiler

Gotta love those qt half genies that live in lighthouses.

My current "Totally not creepy for someone to have a crush on a video game character at the age of 29" gal as of late is Amita from Far Cry 4:

Spoiler

A gal in a video game that dresses with more than 3 square inches worth of clothing AND has their own ambitions and goals and wants and needs? That's so freaking hot Amita...

I personally want to smack her(and her brother) upside the head too much to find her very attractive.

Now someone I looks pretty good is...

Spoiler

Sure he's a jackass, but at least he's funny about it... usually.

 

[Timeless Lavender]

Even though I am straight, it think Momiji looked so pretty:

Ninja Gaiden: Momiji

Spoiler

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Eh, why not.

I've been playing a lot of Valkyria Chronicles so...

She just hits all my buttons. At once. Unf.

Honorable mention goes to best girl,

Spoiler: Marina Wulfstan

Give me a strong, commanding female and I'm all over that...certainly helps if she's smexy.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Spoiler: Rock and Roll!

Stonemother Therazane is all about rocking that fertility figure, am I right guys?

Spoiler: Oh, baby

That's one figure that certainly pushes all of my buttons.

 

[TheArcaneThinker]

Almost every girl from monster girl quest.....

In an artistic sense it can be done, human aesthetic is of course a very large part of art and as video games are an artform they can be improved with appreciation of the human (male or female) form. However, the problem is that most of the time this is done for the most shallow and base reasons and it definitely shows.

This is somewhere that people complaining about the objectification of women in games have a very good point. Men who are aesthetically pleasing almost always also have bodytypes that lend to athleticism. Women on the other hand are often just given very wide hips and very large breasts, these aren't exactly a benefit in a firefight or a fist fight. A notable exception to this is Laura Croft in the 2013 Tomb Raider game. She is of course very attractive, but also has a more athletic and realistic build.

It's conductive to baring and rearing children though.

A task that is just as important as fighting off predators in any society.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

You mean like this, right?

Spoiler: Too sexy for a shirt

so hot, so sexy-- *shot*

Oh man, step aside Dragon's Crown Sorceress, I believe you've just been one upped. Or maybe 6 upped? They're hard to count.

I've got a ton of mods for Skyrim and Fallout:NV that adds a bunch of female-sexiness to the games. Skyrim alone has over 20 mods dedicated to this, including modifying the loading screens.

As for me, how can you refuse Super Sonico?

Spoiler: Somewhat NSFW

 

[TheMysteriousGX]

Spoiler

I like most the other designs in the game too, but the boob-plate annoys me. Fill in the gap a bit for something like the shape of Samus's power armor and I'd be all over it.

You know, I actually have a question about that. What exactly is Super sonico? There are so many different things about it that I don't know where it all came from. Is it an anime? Is it a line of figurines? Is it a meme perpetrated by lewd artists on pivix? Is it a game? I just dont know.

Think you could give me the low down on it?

Thought of the idea when I saw a trailer for the game Kingdom Under Fire 2, dat Spellsword.

What I'm taking from the OP is that I totally need to be paying attention to Kingdom Under Fire 2 - not so much for the character designs, but fantasy Dynasty Warriors? Sign me up. Hope they've tidied up those translations since the 2013 build, though.

The spellsword isn't selling me on it, though, she looks a bit lifeless. Don't get me wrong, I played Tera, I like a good sexy armour design (major bonus points for Tera for applying it to the men too). This elf is just as ridiculously attired but she looks like she's about to deal some damage, and that makes a world of difference. Expression and body language work wonders.

[bartholen_v1legacy]

Well of course there's Gwynevere and her "Amazing Chest" from Dark Souls.

Spoiler

But Catwoman from Arkham City I can also certainly appreciate too.

Spoiler

Nina and Asuka from Tekken are also long-time favorites.

Triss Merigold: my one and only

I'd probably agree in Witcher 2, as I love the design and think she's a compelling character. But I'm currently most of the way (I think.. ) through an LP of the original, and not only does she look fairly hideous (in a weird, dopey character model kinda way), she's all kinds of annoying... I've not played Witcher 2 for years, but I certainly never recalled her being so---- well, punchable. It feels like they upgraded her personality as well as her character model for TW2.

Anyhoo. Teh femalez in garmez: sometimes chainmail bikinis look great - sometimes they look offensive, it's all down to context and personal preference. In Diablo 3 I kinda want my character be showing a little more skin - and in Skyrim and Dark Souls I wanted something approaching practical realism (which both did okay on).

Finding videogame characters attractive or sexy's fine, but surely 99.9% of people can agree we need a little more variety than the industry currently shows/has shown for decades.

My pick:

Anyone picks Zoey before me, and I rage quit. Okay, I don't, I pick Louis...

And post-Katniss nu-Lara:

And yes, I may have a bit of a thing for brunettes who rock ponytails. And shoot things a lot.

Partially right , a game is a sum of it's parts, multiple characters, gameplay, story, graphics. It's not so much that you just need decent looking character designs but in a world of over the top fantasy then exaggerated designs like those seem fitting.

Well designed characters from good games are a lot more popular than well designed characters from bad.

Boobs,
boobs,
and more boobs!
All of it, bags of fat!

I appreciate a woman who can move quick with the look of superiority, and delicateness. Yet she shows the emotions and face of a true warrior.

I don't need your bikini-clad idols, or your naked bosses.
The only thing I need is girl worth fighting for! [sub][sub]Totally not a Mulan reference.[/sub][/sub]

... plus you wouldn't really need to fight for her, especially if she is half phantom and could cut a master swordsman into ribbons.

Of course I'm talking about Youmu Konpaku from the Touhou series.

There you go. [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/americanmcgeesalice/images/e/ef/Steamdress.png/revision/latest?cb=20110618061951]

While I appreciate the female form very much (maybe a little too much) and I find some characters that others may regard as "oversexualised" to be quite beautiful, I'm getting creepy vibes here.

I'm just kinda uncomfortable. But if there were an equivalent thread about male characters, I wouldn't be uncomfortable about that in the same way. I know they'd be essentially the same thing, but my attitude would be different. It's pretty weird, does anyone else feel this way?

Sounds like it could be double standards? Since I don't know you I obviously can't really make an entirely informed judgement though.

Admiring a forest is a pretty base desire although most wouldn't word it in that way, you would call it a simple desire or something more positive. The negative spin is something that people that don't like it will do.

Lara takes a completely unrealistic amount of damage within cutscenes and does not look like somebody who has the body strength to do the things she does, realism goes out the window within the first 30 minutes.

If you gave Lara the proportions of Power Girl she would look more the part for the journey, a 6ft woman with all round larger build, that would be more realistic but you would still get people complaining about the boobs.

Classy thread, truly. Very well executed. I'm sure your heart is in the right place, though.[/sub][/sub]

Lol, I would say it is but not in this, this is harmless self-interest,

Holy sh*t, I forgot how risky some of the characters in a Zelda game could be, never change Japan.

You know what you don't see very often and in a positive light? Plus sized female characters. Not everybody likes the thin or average sized women out there.
