Why wasnt this even posted in the article?

Thank you for sharing this wonderful meme.

From what TB is saying, its looking like its incompetence on Gearbox’s part for not properly researching G2A. Looks like the person in charge of the deal honestly didn’t know the history of G2A’s issues (which is again, both surprising and unsurprising at the same time, this is gearbox we are talking about).

If you are going to design armor based off real life examples (as she did in the linked website) that does have leg armor and elbow armor. You cant claim ‘oh its just made out of plastic, take a chill pill’ and then claim that the armor is practical. The armor she used as a base for the design does have all of that.…

Gearbox has repeatedly proven they are incompetent and bad at managing, making or releasing games that aren’t named Borderlands. To expect them to get business deal correct in distributing keys (from a company that as a bad reputation) is like expecting a fish to be able to crawl up a tree. You can set up the ideal…

My point was the negotiators and all that are supposed to do that.

This is Gearbox we are talking about. A company that has proven on multiple occasions that you cant expect them to follow through or properly research anything. They did Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens : Colonial Marines, and you expect Gearbox to be competently research anything?

Since when has anyone ever accused Gearbox of doing its ‘Due Diligence’. Just look at their recent history with games like Duke Nukem and Aliens and then try to accuse Gearbox of doing its due diligence. 

Probably because the contract signers in charge of negotiations between companies may not know the whole history/background of a company. If you didn’t actively look at forums and such discussing G2A, and only working them in a business perspective, they look like a legit company (considering more than a few companies…

I was always more of a fan of El Kabong!

Ah, Sins of a Solar Empire. I literally can (and occasionally do) spend entire weekends loading up some of the biggest maps in the game and go to town. One of the best 4x games ever made. I even have the collectors edition of it with the Kol battleship statue. The war stories I could tell you about that game could…

Visually speaking, it is really fantastic looking. Lots of intricate detail and great functional workmanship in the way the epaulets and gauntlets work correctly. its just not ‘practical’ if it were made into real armor. It would make excellent parade or ceremonial armor. Its more realistic compared to most other…

Cuirass is just breasplate. it was designed to help protect against rifle fire by deflecting the round. This armor was designed post medieval and worked because there were really no other options for armor in the world of guns. Even today, your standard soldiers body armor is similarly designed to do the same thing…

Did he run it while in full gambeson, chain and plate? or was it just the plate armor itself? Because if he ran it while wearing it the full setup (as it was designed) that is certainly an impressive feat. If it was just the plate, then while awesome, its not as impressive. Because I have ran 5+ miles with boots and…

Cosplay and Practical are two wholly different things. You call it armor (which was based on real armor) and then call it practical (which it isnt, it was designed to be comfortable). Its REASONABLY designed in that it doesnt have the fantasy trope with the boob window, but that by no means makes it practical. The…

I didnt say it was restrictive (certainly not as restrictive as popular media likes to portray it as), I said it was cumbersone if worn correctly. gambeson, chain, and then plate armor (and potentially surcoat) has an effect on the body. But the mobility is more reliant on how well fitting the armor was designed and…

Read my responses to what others have already said. Pteruges (the leather skirt) would and should be included as leg armor for this armor, not the sheer cloth bullshit currently attached. The sheer cloth attached to this armor is literally fucking worthless. Actual pteruges are a good piece of relatively cheap but…

I know, right? Who wants to die like a commoner when you can die like an a king!

Romans also used shields (as did many cultures for many centuries) well before armor advanced to the point to keep up with how much deadlier weapons were designed.

Plate armor as it was in the late medieval time period (like german gothic armor and such) was cumbersome if worn with gambeson, chain, plate amor (and potentially a surcoat) the way it was suppose to be worn. But by no means did it make someone immobile. You wouldnt be as maneuverable or fast as someone wearing…
