StingingVelvet: I have been offended by sexist stuff on occasion. The whole "bikini armor" thing is especially stupid and pandering. Then again in a weird way we don't let women characters in game be sexual enough in different ways, i.e. enjoying it or using it to get what they want (which happens in real life all the time). Instead they just behave like male fantasies of chaste yet revealing women who only want to please YOU.
The bikini armour thing has never really bothered me like that. I personally don't see how women are any more sexualised in this regard than men are in terms of going into battle with nothing on except a six-pack, bulging biceps and a fucking great broadsword.
What's bothered me more about this kind of outcry is the fact that there didn't seem to be much of an uproar about the earlier Tomb Raider games, which sexualised Lara Croft with her tits and her sensual groaning to the point of ridicule. As the TR series has gone on, she's taken on somewhat more realistic proportions, and has become a more fleshed-out personality.
