Epic Rant!

 
Allright Am I the only one that found Epic games fetish for Absurdly unproportional Muscular male characters disturbing? Like do they think we are all gay or retards in need of a meat head hero?  Honestly I thoug Gears of Wars was a phase but now this Bulletstorm BS .. wtf man.. not even Blizzard models are so annoying.  
  
rant over

The definition of rant seems to have changed when I wasn't looking. 
 
 
 
Also, no. No I don't. It fits in the context of their games.

It's just there goofy style.

They are not foe the gay audience, they are just their style of characters

hey they have a style and stick to it, I could say the same about nintendo characters. Just avoid the games then....

lol

This rant is not epic at all.
 
Thanks for lying to me you gay, meat-loving retard.

I dunno if I'd call this a rant....maybe more of a short paragraph. 
Whatever, it's what Epic does. I don't really see the connection between large dudes and gay retards.

the absurdity of their character models makes me chuckle.  i like that.

And consequently we all hate on the Japanese character models for being the glaringly opposite of the muscular Western characters. "

aww i was hoping for something more epic..... it wasn't even epic. 
 
it is just the style that they go with. i am not bothered by this because it is the way the game is. on a side note for some reason this got me thinking of resident evil 5 at the ending. when chris roidrages and moves the giant bolder. for a not so big guy with muscle moving a rock yeah.

I hope to Christ the OP never reads a comic book if he thinks Gears of War is the worst of it. 
 
That said, they're mostly bulky because of their armour. They look ripped but relatively normal outside of it.

BACK IN MY DAY RANTS WERE FULL OF CAPITAL LETTERS, EXCESSIVE FUCKING SWEARING AND A COMPLETE AND TOTAL HATRED. NOW A DAYS THEY ARE SINGLE SENTENCES, GOD I HATE CHANGE. End of rant.

Their biceps are thicker than their skulls. "

This epic rant is lacking in both epicness and ranting. It's more an underwhelming comment, really.
 
Also, why did you think GoW was a 'phase'? The Unreal Tournament games all had character models like that and they precede GoW. It's the developers style, get used to it or don't play the games.

You've never been around a body builder, have you? "

I don't play Gears of War for the characters or the story >.>

Subversive homosexual undertones in many EPIC games. That and overt military fetishism. I think the two go hand in hand.

I'd rather have a meathead wielding a chainsaw gun than some androgynous dude from Final Fantasy. Not saying I hate those characters either, but they all have their place.

Body builders typically don't run around battlefields wielding tank cannons.  Trained soldiers have physiques that sacrifice pure muscle for a greater sense of overall fitness. "

It's the only kind of character Epic has ever been able to model.  I don't know if it's because their art department sucks or if they're trying to stick to a "style", but it annoys me too.  I'm just tired of looking at them.

I prefer it to the extremely feminine-looking male characters of many Japanese games.

I had no idea that all soldiers were the same. Here I was thinking that they were a diverse group of people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.  That's what the recruitment officer said, anyhow. "

All soldiers go through the same training to emphasize the same fitness requirements.  It's standard military practice. "

You're not good at ranting. It's not even a whole paragraph. Plus I don't know what thoug means. Are you saying Marcus Fenix is a thug?

" This rant is not epic at all.  Thanks for lying to me you gay, meat-loving retard. "

" @beej:   His point was that soldiers come from all walks of life.  Short-order cooks.  Body builders.  Whatever.  But the fitness requirements of a body builder aren't the same as those of a soldier, and thus the body builder's physique would likely change from the altered workout. "

" @KingWilly:   All right, then.  Explain to me how, in the military, particularly in boot camp, body builders can be afforded the same time to perform the same fitness regimen that would be required of them to maintain a competition-worthy physique when their schedules are dictated for them from the word go. "

You have absolutely no idea how the military works if you think soldiers are not afforded personal time.  Hell, you probably think they don't even get weekends. "

This is neither epic nor a rant at all.

No, I know that they get personal time.  But I'm pretty sure that the personal time that they're granted is likely not enough to maintain a bodybuilder's physique.  Then again, I'm also not an expert.  I could be wrong.  Doesn't mean that you're right, though.  We could both be wrong together! "

Marcus Fenix has been working out since he was 0 years old, and the Gears are badass, they have to be muscular!
