Except Borderlands is an infinitely better game than Dead Island. Try not to base your choices on looks and more on content, hm?

Mmmmm I love the smell of ignorant condescension in the morning.

Aesthetics speak to overall concept, which includes all design choices.

Why would I play a game that insults my intelligence by pandering to gender stereotypes when I could play Dark Souls, or Skyrim, or R6V2, or any countless other excellent games both aesthetically and in story and gameplay, concept and design?

It's a competitive market out there, and no matter how well-craft Borderlands is as a game, there are plenty more as good or better that don't have a single female character who looks like little girl, on which I could spend my time and money. If they want me as a consumer, no matter what their game plays like, they'll have to change the character design. It's as simple as that. They don't make the only good video game. As a consumer, I vote with my wallet.

I have an idea: if you think Borderlands is high quality enough that I should overlook a gallingly awful design choice and play it on other merits, how about telling me what those are? Why should I play it and not another game from the same genre that lacks said galling design choice? What makes Borderlands superior?

So far said choice, along with snide condescension and content-free value judgments about being an "infinitely better game" than another game I haven't played, are not exactly winning me over. Go on, tell me why it's good. I'm not going to do that research on my own, I'm playing Skyrim, and the Borderlands marketing itself has completely lost my interest.
