Aw, I thought after the first one it'd be a look back at awful depictions of breasts that got gamers excited and how embarrassing it seems in hindsight. Oh well.

Escapist. Just when I had given up on you, you go right ahead and pull out a massive troll of this caliber. Consider me reinvested in your brand.

Well, considering how tabloidish a lot of the headlines and chosen news stories have been, I guess it was only a matter of time before it got its own version of the page 3 girls [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_3].
You know what might have made this article interesting? Showing breasts taken to disturbing extremes. I once came across a Flash game with a woman who had breasts that were literally larger than the rest of her body... each. A gallery of really unsexy things like that might have made a point.
Better yet, an editor should have just clicked delete when this showed up in the inbox. This is the kind of thing I would expect on Geocities circa 1999.

Well, in the real world fertility goddesses and idols have been known to possess large breasts, wide hips, things like that. So, really, it's the most solid defense there is. Not that I think it needs defending.erttheking said:
It's not like the other females in the game all have G-cups and they only bothered to give an excuse for Gwynevere.
If you find the prospect of watching someone smack the bees nest funny to watch, its actually hilarious.FargoDog said:
I commend you Escapist. These achingly-hip super-conscientious Escapist reader tears are absolutely delicious.
OK, more seriously, it's a bit of fun. I know this is where people who REALLY care exceptionally super hard about ``that representation issue`` come to nurse the matching chips on their shoulders, but you can loosen up for one day of the year other than X-mas right?
It's Dragon's Crownmas*. This content is appropriate.

Oh man, well played Escapist. At least, I hope it was meant to be some form of joke.
Well, I laughed one way or the other.
I thought the reference to Dragon's Crown would make this obvious, but it seems people are willing to fly to off the handle over anything that might be a 'wee bit sexist'.
When I was younger and playing OoT on the 64, I always go so worried when I was in a fairy fountain because I thought I'd get in trouble, haha.Fappy said:
Also, I agree that this is in bad taste, but I find it rather silly. I will add however, I hope galleries don't become constant content without a point though.
Wow, a lot of self-righteous people flipping out here. Well played, Escapist! Satirical or not, this is hilarious to watch unfold.
I'm pretty sure Lulu from FFX is a bit more boob famous than even Tifa.
But you could have had like 90% of the females from Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, Soul Caliber, Tekken and King of Fighters into this list. And the T-girls too, Poison's got great boobs.
Though I'd have to say Taki's are most memorable. Whilst they are completely covered up they somehow seem to have more bouncy freedom and animation than the rest of them.

But it's just terrible content in general. Front page space is valuable, and this is apparently what Escapist values on their front page. Satire or not, that's just... it comes off badly on them. A lot of people value professionalism in this climate where a distinct lack of it is abundantly evident in 90% of gaming websites, and this only goes to soil the Escapist's. It's not "self-righteous," I hope, to expect genuinely quality content; especially from a website with a subscription service.An Ceannaire said:
Heck, at that point in the game I was glad to see anything that wasn't covered in tentacles, slime, or spikes.erttheking said:
I didn't know she was a fertility goddess though. Now I just feel like a boob for not putting two and two together.
