Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this.

It's just clothing. Something to wear that shows off your legs while you slaughter hundreds of living beings with your chosen weapon in your regular spree of mass murder.

Who cares?

If anyone really finds anyone showing their legs off reason to spew I can only imagine how they manage to go out in hot weather.

Watching the Conan movies , vs watching the Star Wars movies , I'd say it easily fits in the AoC setting.

The Star Wars one ? Not so much.


 

Except for the fact that the slave bikini outfit is one of the most iconic outfits in the whole of Star Wars and everything

:pulls collar chain:  No no, that wasn't revealing anything about Lucas at all.

Still, dayum I want to create RuPaul the Bounty Hunter!  C'mon designers, help me out!

 

Is any of this more inherently silly and money-grubbing than Pandas, when you get right down to it?

Also, as someone pointed out.. wouldn't it be worse if characters were running around with NO panties?

The world of Hyboria has always been about sex and viloence.

I guess you haven't read any books or seen any of the movies only played the MMO.

If it's not broken, you are not innovating.

Every good bikini needs nice panties, everybody knows this.  

If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.

That's not a bikini.  That's a diaper, for those oh shit moments.  In a galaxy far far away, stuff happens.

Personally, I'm all for it.

The sluttier, the better!

Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros

I like your attitude but what about bikini X-wing ?

Expect it to get worse now that game devs have realized online porn is conservatively a $14 billion dollar a year industry.

 

There are a whole slew of MA rated games coming down the line that feature more and more hardcore sex, as developers try and capitalize on even a small peice of that $14 billion dollar peice of the pie.
