Gabranth was special due to his connection with Basch so he gets about 3 paragraphs.

>>714997141 (OP)
The judges were top tier.

>>714998690
they were just party members. so boring

Hot take: Alva looks better than Elite Knight, but Elite Knight has more soul.

>>714997293
Beautiful armor. It's a shame that Japanese developers are trying to copy western designs.

>>715000141
westerners are pathetic faggy cucks and trannies, each and every one of them should be disembowled and impaled on a pike

>>714997859
It's a shame they wasted such good designs

>>715001441
Top part is too much.
>>715001956
OK I'll give you this
>>715002124
Looks like sci fi power armor
>>715002890

>>714997141 (OP)
Idk, might be me, but do all gaems get the shoulders of armor wrong?

>>714997141 (OP)
Greedfall has OK armor, souls games, too.

>>714997859
Gabranth was cool in Dissidia at least.

Does it have to be medieval?
Because I think this is one of the most iconic and well-designed sci-fi armors in recent history

>>715004107
fucking kino design and character

>>715004532
I think any armor should do. I'm more of an edgelord kind of guy.

>>715002725
Peak work but too bad it's skin tight leather.
>>715003461
If the breastplate was different then I would have considered this top tier.
>>715004095
Helmets are ridiculous but taticool is present.
>>715004107
Great
>>715004303
Iconic work

>Play FF XIV
>This armor is locked ehind dead content
>You have to join a discord in order to run it
>The discord wants you to research the entire fight before hand

>>715004245
Not you, most get it wrong.

Could armor stop a bullet?

>>715004797
You just want to get carried to your free armor lil bab?

>>715004990
It depends on the armor and bullet. In absolute terms, armor can stop a bullet.

>>715001441
i love that dd1 had a straight-up chaos warrior set

>>715005117
Eternal reload hell.

>>715004797
yes, because the content is limited if i remember correctly, so scaled to your raid
and none gonna carry you for free for your glam

How come armor threads are chill, but weapon threads are not?

>>715004990
Early muskets could only penetrate on joints/visors and maybe on thinner limb armor at very close range.

>>715004303
I am most definitely confident on the fact that no harm of any kind can be done to my person.

Only good thing to come out of that dogshit game. Well this and Burnt Ivory King boss fight.

>>714999676
Syan knight my ultimate ds2 drip tho

>>715004993
>>715005270

I guess if we ignore all the other complaints issues that came before the one you're highlighting then I see how you could come to that criticism.

However want I really want is the ability to do the content without joining a discord and the freedom to learn it through experience instead essentially memorizing it beforehand. This feels like fomo punishment

>>715005350
Weapons are serious business
>>715005450
DS2 has a lot of cool armor sets. One that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Royal Swordsman, especially the helmet.

>>715005350
The one who started the weapons thread is a rage bait poster and invited it on himself. This OP is smart as to not invite that hostility.

>>715005450
looks like absolute shit in-game, though. like everything in DS2

>>715004853
Is that nio? Asymmetrical shoulders are awesome.

>>715005450

>>715005551
it was possible without joining discords around shadowbringer and endwalker
guess dawntrail really have problem with pop now if your only way is 3rd party communicator

personally a big fan of the design of the grineer and corpus factions in warframe and how unique they look as generic enemies. very strong aesthetic and the game does a good job differentiating between the factions.

>>715004990
Depends.
late medieval/renaissance armor could stop musket fire, and a well made suit would likely stop most pistol calibers and maybe even shotgun slugs, but not modern rifles.
modern armor is categorized based on what its rated for. lvl1 plates can stop some pistol calibres while lvl4 plates are rated up to battle rifles and most ap rounds below battle rifles.

cod ghosts might have sucked but damn did it have some cool enemy designs

>>715005117
The horns ruined it.
>>715005450
Ok I'll give you this
>>715005841
That sun plate sticks out like a sore thumb. The armor looks better without it.

>>715003461
That's the worst Lu Bu I have ever seen in my life.

>>715005450
Most overrated vidya armor of all time. No idea what you retards see in this shit.

>>715007468

I've always been partial to FFXI's gallant armor. It's core paladin.

>>715007468
t. Retard

>>715007872
Helmet looks boring as shit and the fur coat is so short it barely adds anything to the design.

>>714997293
My brother I wanted to post Exdeath as soon as I saw the topic. The world needs more heavily armorclad mages like Exdeath and Golbez.

>>715006605
>make the class look like a badass inquisitor-knight
>make the class terrible at everything but healing a single target (and it's only got two actual heals)

>>715008537
Damn shame. SHITzard couldn't even make the remake of the set look right, though this random dude's remaster worked much better.

Just play something fun instead, stop wasting your time collecting outfits in a really fucking boring game.

>>715005450
way too top heavy

>>715009502
Like what?

does sekiro count?

>>715010091
key know

G-Rank Rathian my beloved... Dreadqueen almost is good but the helm design is shit and the colors clash if I try and substitute it with Rathian X

>>714997141 (OP)

fuck thats cool whats it from?

>>715010856

>>715010340
why wouldn't it? armor is armor.

I always liked the mass production nanosuits more then the "original" ones in Crysis

>>714997141 (OP)

>>715006074
Warframe in general has a very distinct design that is hard to describe. It has sci fi elements but mixed with body horror.

>>715002124

>>715011836
yeah theres almost like a weird mix of Moebius style sci-fi fantasy fused with hard sci-fi and degenerating organic body horror that is very unique to warframe, i find. shame the game is kinda lame, because some of the designs are amazing.

>>715004990
The term 'bulletproof' supposedly comes from the renaissance period (?) when early muskets were first used in abundance; armor makers would literally shoot their armor with a gun as 'proof' it would stop a bullet.

FFXIV admittedly has a few fantastic looking ones. Shame you can't even get some of them any more due to locking them behind botting and win trading five years ago.

>>715009502

FFXI is FAR more boring in comparison.

>>715011836
>>715012460

>CHAWW intensifies

>>715006074
I fucking hate this armor because I can't headshot these niggas from behind

>>715008305
damn this looks way better than XIV's gallant armor

PREPARE THE GIANT MIRROR

>>715014337
what? that is literally a screenshot from DS2 you retarded transgender person. its from the dark souls 2 wiki

>>714997141 (OP)
Lack of groin protection has always kept this set at a 9/10 for me

>>714997141 (OP)
I have no pictures of it atm, but I really liked the design for Barnabas Tharm’s armor in XVI, very reminiscent of the Penetrator from Demon’s Souls.

The male version of the g-rank Damascus armor is great, red eyes and horns are pure sex

>>715001956

The only media to nail the bronze age aesthetics and use creative license well on top archaeological findings and reconstructions. Character design, save for nigger memnon, is absolute peak.

SWTOR's Sith armor design peaked with him around

Black Knight, love the yellow stripes on the gauntlet palms

>>715010661
Based, that’s a classic design if I’ve ever seen one. MonHan leans way too hard into fantasy when it comes to armor designs, I’d like to see more armor designs like this one with a realistic armor look, but enhanced with monster parts.

>>715016150
I wish black and silver knights had different helmets

>>715016536
they do

>>715016536
i mean it's the same armor technically

>>715016646
i mean a different design not different from each other
it dont like how thin it is

>>715016687
sure, but why would they be different from one another when black knights are literally silver knights just warped and corrupted by fire?

>>715016687

>woah these judges are cool! Can't wait to fight them all and see all the cool story moments they have....
>literally do nothing of value or interest but Gabranth

>>715016673
It's the coolest thing ever though, the Black Knights were charred black by the demons they fought, which is why Black Knight armor has the highest fire resistance in the game.
>>715016687
I agree, I didn't like the spikes on the shoulders of the chestpiece either. Rest of it is perfection.

>>715016687
love me lanky helmets

>>715016974
the armor got warped by the flame being kindled, that's why most of them are chilling in the kiln

>>715016974
just realized now how similar this set is to Yurt's set. wonder if that was the initial inspiration the set was designed from

MG Gorgon

>>715005450
It's a shame that in the game he looks like shit

>>715015681
love the designs in these games. except starting with 4 they went to shit, but 2 and most of 3 is good

>>715010661
My favorite set in MH
This combined with rathalos GS lets me roleplay as the hunter from the MHFU trailer

this set is so incredibly cool looking but fromsoft never actually added it to dark souls. its just in the game files. fucking sucks we never got this in DS2 or 3.

behead fromtrannies

>>714997141 (OP)
Its a shame we cannot wear it.

I usually hate overly designed armor like wow's huge fucking cinderblock pauldrons and brick wide tassets; but Havel's set does it for me.

>Literally just Guts Golden Age arc
It's just so simple yet so good.

I wish Tower Dungeon got a game cause I really like Nihei's armor designs.

TO THE SILENT BEYOND

Souls games aesthetics peaked with this set and they've been chasing that and failing to catch it ever since.

my fav armor in the series

The siscon is the peak of Souls fashion, I have to say

Pretty much all of the armor in Nioh is a good balance of verisimilitude and style. Not lot of it is historical but a lot of them are close enough that they're recognizable, while also looking good on their own.
>>715017478
6 recovered, imo. Not for every character, but they pulled back a lot of the excess of 4 and 5. SC2 is the best overall for sure though, with some excellent designs in 3. SC3 Default Yoshi is my favorite look of his.

>>715022592
If the Carian Knight set didn't have that dumb antenna, it'd be the best armor they ever designed.
I just swap the helmet out for the standard knight helmet and roll on.

>>715002983
a respectable choice

>>715022098
kettle hats are so underrated

aww yus

Far and away one of the better sets in Elden Ring because that game has some fucking awful looking armors.

Gore Magala armor from MH4U

>>715002725

Dynasty Warriors is pretty underrated when it comes to character designs

>>714997141 (OP)
Hoods, Horns, Spikes, Tusks, and Fangs glued to armor is peak retardation.

>>715002725
I like how they are Liquid's personal guard, and they care PDWs.
