2011's Worst Dressed Video Game Characters

Just because gamers generally consider the peak of fashion to be whatever shirt is on Woot.com today, doesn't mean we can't recognize when our gaming heroes are dressed like garbage. Here are 2011's video game fashion catastrophes.

Nathan Drake isn't inherently poorly dressed, but he looks more like an LA douchebag than an adventurer. His $500 jeans and half-tucked shirt scream narcissist. Oh, and nice scarf. Wait is that a keffiyeh? F--k you.




Link's iconic elven garb, costume of choice for androgynous cosplayers the world over, is silly, but it's not drastic. However, that burlap sack disaster he's wearing for the first few hours is. Dressing like an Arizona grandma is a bad move for a game that already emasculates the main character.




Ivy's rocking that "sexy even though I look like I'm undergoing intense radioactive treatment for my horrible illness" look, but girl, get some pants. We don't all need to see your flower. But, thanks for at least trimming your, ahem, bush.




You all look like rejects from a Christian Audigier fashion show. It's hard to dance when I'm being blinded by how terrible you are.




Here's a tip: it's a good idea to change your disgusting, alien bug covered do-rag every year or so. Look at him, I can f--king smell him from here. Anya must be Hellen Keller if she's attracted to that walking grime beast.




Apparently on Dead Island, panties are as scarce as ammo.




The term "butter face" doesn't even begin to describe this nightmare.




Saints Row lets you customize your character to a T, so if she comes out terrible, that's on you. But the game does offer way too many dubious fashion choices. Oh, and purple was so 2010, guys.




Considering that nothing else got updated for the 21st century, it makes sense that Duke is still dressed like he's going to a leather gaybar in 1993.




I know Kurt Wagner has style. He's like a blue Errol Flynn. So why is he dressed like a dirty Bohemian? X-Men Destiny is set in San Francisco, but that's no excuse for turning my favorite superhero into a Haight Ashbury hipster tool.




Adam do those weird cybernetic sunglasses make you colorblind, or did the utilitarian future government ban everything but neutral tones? Also, your fauxhawk grew out too much and looks like shit, get a damn haircut.
