Subject: Would you like Halo women to be beautiful/gorgeous?

The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
Did you knew that JESUSdied for you?


I will give an example with Veronica "Dare".No joking But after ODST launched most complains/hate from her was that she was ugly.

Setting aside the improbability of a women in her position being a supermodel (not because they can't but beauty is rare after all)

Being totally honest would you like her more If she was beautiful?. I ask this becuase I have seen characters that are much more agresive/confident/assertive than her but they aren't criticized because they are drop dead gorgeous.

On the opposite side a full cast of beautiful women would feel fake and too wishfulfillment to say the least. How porbable is for every main character to be gorgeous?(ex dead or alive and ninja gaiden)

Opinions on beauty in the halo universe?

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

She was a refreshment to the Video Game standard of Hot women. Even Halo follows that standard with Cortana, Miranda, and Serina.

Cortana and Seerena do have an excuse being holograms after all...

But I agree with you.

Yes, but Cortana takes after Halsey when she was 20 years old. And look at Anders.

IMO more women should be like Dare. Even the men weren't the most attractive in that game.

Hmm, yes and no.

I thought Dare made up for any lack of 'looks' with her likable personality. She also received a lot of criticism over the fact she was effectively a 'Damsel in distress' but I still found her to be an enjoyable character. Furthermore, she was meant to be in her late 30s early 40s, and with that in mind, I didn't find her to be as visually unappealing as you are perhaps suggesting.

I don't think putting in/taking away representations of beauty in video games will improve the game by any stretch of the imagination. Further more, beauty really does lay in the eye of the beholder, so one persons idea of beauty would differ from another.

I enjoy the female characters in the Halo universe. Many of them are strong and capable [traits I admire in a woman] all of them are memorable.

To summarise, I think the representations of women in Halo are fine as they are. Simple :)

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

OP i am not bashing you,but.

Pretty women in a war game? What sense does that make? i don't understand why children were complaining about her looks anyway,(which i find funny) because they only paid attention to her,not to anything of importance.

A perfect example of subjectivity, and people choosing the format over the information.

Cute girls. That's it. Not super hawt. No revealing clothing, just cute.

  • 12.29.2011 11:11 PM PDT

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

Dare's man chin made me laugh every time.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

She was too manly to be honest, Buck should pick some girl like Parissa (spellcheck?) or that girl that died in the "Prototype" Episode of Halo: Legends.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Like Halsey in the Captain Keyes terminal? Yeah, why not? Cortana and Serena aren't that bad looking, as it is. They can pull it off.

If you have to spend hours on end following a character, they might as well be good-looking. I'd rather look at an attractive character than an ugly or bland one.

I did read your post and none of that was directed to you. just ranting on the subject.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

When I'm killing -blam!-, I really don't care. I kinda like how Dot was just a disembodied voice.

You can still see their curves [Kat being an example].

You know, when you're having a bad day, you just gotta let yourself go!

Sure.

I mean, why the hell not?

I'm sorry, but when you mentioned curves, I immediately thought of Jorge. And I'm not -blam!-.

"Bet you can't stick it"

Its a video game where you kill aliens. A women's attractiveness isn't the main focus.
