Blasphemy!

Apparently Leon is on a list of the ten worst video game hair cuts ever! Who could say such a thing? (Men - and men wrote this article. And they're wrong. And it was posted a year ago, but whatever, it's just as ridiculous now as it was then

What a screwed up list!

He should have been more discriminating with measuring real-life hairstyles and "video game" hairstyles. As in, hairstyles that could only exist in video games. If he was referring to how bad the hairstyle looks in the video game, that'd be fine too since he included that butt-pompadour in the list, though I don't think it should've been at that rank. At least General Lionwhyte should have been higher than that

Sometimes I think there's too much gaming journalism if this is what we get. Even the off-the-cuff humour and tongue in cheek articles like this one is supposed to be are becoming stale IMO and you'd find better lists and more insightful and funnier comments on gaming discussion boards with regular folk.

Personally I think that Leon's hair scores several points for its multi-tonal colour, its soft texture and ability to actually... you know move when Leon moves. And this is just on the PS2 with its lesser graphics quality

"It's also rather lol that they mentioned that Leon's style would impair his peripheral vision. I think the costumes worn by a great number of female game characters would impair their ability to even move let alone survive an attack XD"

THIS.

Also, thanks for sharing the other article. At least one video game journalist/writer/whatever has some sense. :D

Wow.... I find their lack of faith in Leon's abilities as an agent disturbing. No seriously now, there are many other characters with crazy haircuts that aren't listed. This person was just looking for something to b*tch about. Pretty lame, really. He's just jealous of Leon's sexy haircut. And, I mean that in all seriousness. :3

Guys have been whining about Leon's hair since RE4 came out, mostly because that's when all their girlfriends started talking about how hot Leon is. XD

Hmmm! Leon's look isn't particularly 'butch' either and that confuses the small but vocal group of men who assume that ladies only like uber butch-looking 'alpha-male' types like Duke Nukem or something. Seeing Leon get all the attention makes them feel as if they've been lied to :D

[stygian_dream]

ROFL!!!!! Agreed lol. Besides, Leon doesn't have to look like Krauser to merit any alpha male badassery.

I'm really getting tired of all the cynicism in gaming. What happened to playing games to have fun? When did bragging about what sucks become cool?
