Boobs in Destiny (Breast Thread Ever)

[quote]12/23/2014 Edit:[b] [u]This thread was made before Destiny was released. [/u][/b]We didn't know how things were going to be yet![/quote] There's a certain type of response that I'm expecting for this thread (immature and full of boob jokes), and then there's a certain kind of response I'm looking for (responsible conversation). I'm not telling either of you types of posters to leave. It's okay. I would like to talk about breasts. Specifically, armored breasts. I don't want Destiny to go down a dark path of poor anatomy. Allow me to say that the more unbalanced the ratio of female to male artists there are on a project, the higher the likelihood of us seeing game armor like [url=http://pds22.egloos.com/pmf/201101/18/68/e0072368_4d34afdf54228.jpg]this[/url]. It's annoying enough to have two melons on your chest, but when they're held up by gravity-defying pieces or metal, that's painful. Bras filled with cushioning and breathable material can still be painful. Imagine chicken wire holding up your moobs. But that's an over-the-top fantasy MMO, not a space opera. So let's pick a space opera. [url=http://loschaos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Mass-Effect-Ash-and-Shepard.jpg]Why does the world of Mass Effect require lady lumps on armor?[/url] Why are those emphasized boob pieces necessary in a game that made some huge strides in female representation in games? Do sports bras not exist there? Can we top that off with the idea of a blunt object going towards someone's chest? [url=http://media.tumblr.com/74cddede528b5731359fcfec48885cbd/tumblr_inline_mgc3zjXIsW1rnp9q5.png]Lady lump armor will make things slide into the -blam!-ing sternum[/url]. You know, the bone right in front of a shit ton of vital organs. So what's the solution for this problem? 1. Cut a hole in the box. 2. Make sure your artists/modelers are well versed in proper female anatomy. 3. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag4C0MFRnmE]Buy a sports bra[/url]. 4. Take the awesome male armor you had before and put a woman in it. Don't get me wrong! People come in all shapes and sizes. Breastplates will sometimes need to be a bit bigger for some people and some people will need slimmer sets of power armor. Sometimes people wear form-fitting armor, but that still doesn't excuse outlining the breasts on the armor.

[b]Wanting armor that caters to the female anatomy doesn't justify overcompensating for the female anatomy.[/b] Armored breasts do not need to be [url=http://www.wethegamerz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/me3duo.jpg]lifted and separated when one encapsulated piece suffices in the first place[/url]. Done. You think I'm kidding? I'm -blam!-ing serious.

  • I love seeing threads like this. I'll admit that I do enjoy playing as female characters even though I'm a guy (don't like staring at man ass all day). What I don't like, however, is playing as a stripper with a machine gun/sword/rocket launcher/knife/etc. I like strong female protagonists. I think to Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien, Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs, or the character of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series (book series, I haven't seen the movies yet). I think Bungie will do a good job of making sure we don't have stripper super soldiers and don't exaggerate female anatomy (not a fan of huge boobs, personally). I think we can all settle on average, and then having those average boobs covered up by appropriate armor that would be worn by real women in real combat.
