• The McElroy brothers being announced as the announcers for 100ft Robot Golf is 100% #OnBrand
• Tempted to call Cosmic Star Heroine game of the show that wasn't even at the show.
• Not exactly at the show either, but VA-11 Hall-A's final trailer is ??
• The Bloodstained demo was super reassuring, especially hearing Romscout (the best speedrunner of the Castlevania series in the world) praise the game for how it feels and plays.
• Yooka-Laylee's trailer was also really reassuring to see, though it looks rough in some parts and no one has really played it yet.
• I loved the Agents of Mayhem cinematic's style, but was apprehensive on the game, but it looks like Volition basically took Saints Row and mashed it with Marvel vs. Capcom style team based gameplay and I'm so into that.
• VIDEOBALL!
• Cuphead's platforming is looking tight and just as mindblowingly well animated.
• How We Soar is looking absolutely stunning. We'll see how it plays, but it could be an unexpected hit once PSVR drops.
• Just watching Thumper makes me want to have a heart attack.
• Mages of Mystralia is a cute little game that has a lot of potential.
• SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. VR.
• Lawbreakers has just enough original ideas to capture my usually fps-resistant interest
• Pyre looks every bit as good as you'd expect a new Supergiant game would.
• Abzu continues to look absolutely stunning.
• Even though I already have it on Vita, I'm happy to see Severed head to the other two touchscreen game playin machines.
• NieR: Automata continues to impress.
• The animation in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is soooooo goooood ???
• Yeah, I'll play Ever Oasis, a new action RPG from Nintendo and the creators of the Mana series.
• Dragon Quest VII coming out in September! Woooo!
• Shin Megami Tensei 4 was a great game, but it was really, really long and I have yet to finish it. So I wasn't really interested in it's sequel, Apocalypse, until I watch the two trailers from E3. That's right, two.
• Rhythm Heaven Megamix getting a surprise release was the most pleasant surprise of the show.
• King of Fighters XIV continues to look fucking awesome. Fuck the haters.
• I was apprehensive about Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin until I saw this demo. Seeing all these characters that I know and love and knowing that the game will be a neat take on classic Adventure game puzzles might just be what sells me on PSVR.
• I'm sure Trails of Cold Steel II will be fantastic once I finish the first one.
• I'm much more interested in Let It Die once it became more character action game looking.
• Anarcute looks like Pikmin so I'm sold.
• BOXBOXBOY!
• PERSONA MUTHERFUCKING 5

The right banner won. Let's hope there's a new Viva Pinata today!

@beachthunder: Nah brah.

Yeah, pretty much. Maybe it doesn't come off well in the picture because it's roughly the size of the sun (best picture I could find on short notice), but Nowi is very, very clearly supposed to be a child. Especially when you compare her to Taki, another, older Manakete.

I am fine with flat chested women being able to dress how they want if they approach it from an "empowering" angle and not a "sexual object" angle. Again, you do you girl. But this isn't that. Nowi is clearly a child wearing multiple pieces of lingerie that you could find at La Senza. And that's just creepy.

@mgalchemist: I think they were thinking "this will really do well in the market that are fascinated with sexualized female children."

Nice Peridot avatar by the way.

@afabs515: I only left out VLR Clover because when you put her beside the other 3, her outfit just starts to look reasonable.

Was browsing through my favourite game lists and I was trying to think of any bad character designs in them. Here's what I came up with:

Then there is Zero Escape. I love the series, but they can't seem to go a game without having a strong female character setup in one of the worst costumes in games.

And last but not least, just because there are so many bad ones that it'd be a hassle to post individually, I present to you all the character portraits in Heroes of Might & Magic 2.

No, I think that's pretty much the case.

I'm actually shocked that Lucio is in the top 3. Played a ton of him in the betas, but didn't see an awful lot of him. But I finally got to play the live version and he's still so much fun. Also, I only opened one skin from boxes, but it was the best skin in the game:

Love this character.

@blackichigo:FUCKING CHRIST. YEAH. STAR OCEAN 4.

CHRIST.

I blocked that game from my memory. I KNEW there was a reason I didn't care about that series. And SO4 is it.

And still images of that game do NOT do it justice. The way everything in that game animates is NIGHTMARISH.

There's two ways you can go being a fan of video games: constantly demand more from video games and be disappointed 99% of the time or to just let it all wash over you.

@choi: Oh jeez. Oh wow. Oh god.

I forgot how bad the character designs in Lost Odyssey were. I actually don't mind Kaim and Seth designs, but then Ming enter the story and ??

Also doesn't help that the graphics in the game has aged super poorly so everyone looks like nightmare uncanny valley people in motion.

You know what's a bad idea? Making a female child character on a low-resolution game like a PS1 game with part of her costume being the same as her skin colour. You know what's worse? When that section is her crotch.
