Yeah most cheap designers resort to enlarging breasts/hips to appeal to tasteless audiences. Just a cheap gimmick that works on the usual male crowd. Imagine of Hayao Miyazaki made San's breasts huge in Princess Mononoke FOR APPEAL LOLLLLLLLLL ;33;3;;33

Oh right. How about you don't sexualize her so much if you don't want that to happen...

I can see why people are focusing on them. Elizabeth's attire is low-cut enough in the front to pique interest.

They cant handle its awesomeness. in TW2 I dont think the nudity was thrown in for the lulz like in GoW, I think it was no allude that "more mature" theme and atmosphere.

So F...tired of this whole "omg oversexualization" nonsense, Kevin Levine also stated that the purpose of her design was to make her appealing to the eye, but through the game we would fall in love with her due to her persona, which is pretty much what happens in real life, you like a certain girl mainly because her look but you fall in love once you get to know her better, personally i think her design is brilliant if they truly create a memorable character.

I really hope they keep her design.

I'm sure the gamespot fans with girls in their sigs (or anime girls) don't mind. Therefore it sells.

I always thought she looked weird. Don't care if she has big breasts or not, but the former just looks odd considering she has the face of a twelve-year-old.

Slashkice

I thought she was inspired by that old creepy cartoon where the girl's head's too big for her body.

Title is misleading; Levine was talking about the focus of the internet discussion about her figure, not it's being included in the game. That said, if Levine wanted people to focus on who Elizabeth is as a person, she wouldn't be wearing a push-up corset. The first step in any character design drawing focus to where you want it. If breasts really aren't the focus, then why does she have so much of them? Clearly a lot of people care about the game because of the nearly-already-iconic breasts she sports, not for the actual game itself (teenage male gamers tend to be a shallow, instinctual folk).

Exactly. Doesn't matter what you're talking about, "boobs" is always an appropriate answer.

Its refreshing that a developer like Levine is putting so much emphasis on character. He's a smart bloke so I'm expecting a lot from this game. The first is still masterful.

Very funny.

Generally with high quality of writing we would have less crassness in the game. As in less sexualised elements. Just look at Saints Row 3, it's writing is like Scary Movie, and so it has you going around wacking people with sex toys. Look at Portal 2, the high quality of writing meant that the protaginist wasn't an oversexualised one.

I would say the plot twist was one of the most shocking, but expertly done in the first.

Yeah but noone really plays games for stories... Read a book or watch a movie. Imo Saints Rows 3 had a better story because it was about having a good time and not being too serious.
