I'd have to go with the Iron Man Extremis armour. Because Iron Man is awesome.

Iron Man's Armor is nice. Very nice.

I love the NCR Ranger Combat Armor and I quite like the armor that Nightmare wears in Soul Calibur 2.

I'm sorry for calling you guys fools. D: Also here's some cool armor.

And also a really big sword. Compensating, maybe? ;D

Well, the space marine armour has to be there. Whatever chapter it is, it always looks badass. If space marines are meant to be such massive badasses capable of withstanding far more than the already badass-armoured imperial guard, they've got to look like it, and they've also got to look like they can liquify a face with a punch. The massive armour does all that while still looking mobile. I'm not such a big fan of chaos armour, as...well, could they be trying any harder to look evil? Seriously, all the spikes and chains and what appears to be skin, it's a little over the top, but then again, what about WH40K could be described as not OTT?

All of the armour sets from Earth defense force insect armageddon deserve a mention. The soldier armour strips away the BS for a simple, starship trooper-esque design, the engineer armour looks like a support class should, like he's linked in with god knows what under there, the jet armour is just goddamn awesome, and the heavy armour looks like a splicing incident between a man and a tank.
Honestly, I see the Imperial Guard as MORE badass than the Space Marines. The Space Marines get genetic enhancements, power armor, bolter pistols, the best of the best equipment the imperium can spare.

Imperial Guard are fighting the same damn enemies and doing it with flashlights and flak jackets. Those bastards deserve a LOT more respect than the Space Marines.

Where the hell is that from? The stance and style suggest Assassins Creed but I don't recognise it.
IIRC, that's the Ishak Pasha armor set from Revelations (or maybe the Master Assassin armor?).

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I'm going to go with the Ebony Armor set from Skyrim.
Sure, it's a lot less grandiose as some of the other armors here, but I like more reasonable armor. That might be why I think WH40K armor looks quite ridiculous.

Oh, I forgot to mention this one:

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120111002835/fallout/images/5/5d/Merc_troublemaker_outfit.png

The Mercenary Troublemaker set from Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Sure, it's not very useful, but it looks amazing. Practical, stylish and badass.

I usually use the G.E.C.K to make a slightly boosted version of it, so I can keep it through the endgame. Yes, that's how important the looks of game armour is to me. :p

Personally, I prefer the Steel Plate look.

Though, sometimes I do appreciate the minimalist look.

I tend to spend more time in games like new vegas, FO3 and Skyrim worrying about what I look like as opposed to how effective it is :D

Pretty much every armor from every race in Champions of Norrath: Return To Arms.

It ran the gamut from simple beginnings (Leather, padded, quilted ect) to insane end game stuff(Legenderay,Rathe-something er other, Epic).

I've always found it interesting that the last tier, Epic, actually made you less armored than the previous, as if to say "You're so high leveled at this point, you don't NEED armor to kick their asses!"

Pictures are hard to come by, but some of the Legendary and Epic stuff was crazy, especially the shaman and berserker.

The two that always come instantly to mind for me are:



There are plenty of of awesome armors I like, but those two always had such a striking impression on me. ODST armor and Nanosuit 1 and 2 for futuristic styled armor.
i will say that the judges were some of my favorite villians just for there visual appeal. so badass.


too bad they actually weren't as badass as they looked...

dammit...i hate how many systems all those games are on, not to mention trying to find a final mix copy.

still, those are frickin sweet, who would've thought final fantasy and disney would mesh into something so amazing.
