(XBOX)Arbalestier Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I feel like the Grendel aesthetic could have been done far better than the Sumo Wrestler vibe they were going for. Yeah, it's funny to be a pinball once in a while but it's an embarrassment to look at compared to the rest of the frames. You'd think with the northern-native Wendigo's, or any number of maneater/cannibal folklores to draw from they could have made something more grotesque or pleasing to warframe's dark aesthetic. Grendel is just dissapointing and hopefully they get him a deluxe skin that gives him justification besides being an alt, fat Inaros. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavelord Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think Grendel like many other frames is a composite image, it does have the sumo flavor on his stances, but i think the physical appearance is more a Oni, clear by including horns and the masseter a resemblance of the iron clubs traditionallly depicted with onis, the syandana also gives the appearance sort of a grass cape, like the ones people in ancient japan used to made to cover themselves from rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should've just made him an Oni frame based on the Oni instead of making him yet another silly thematic joke. Had they stuck to that, he wouldn't be a sumo wrestler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 hey now, let's not fat-shame Grendel. personally I think he looks alright. plus the pinball mode is really fun, I just wish it was a little more energy efficient (it's almost Effigy levels of drain which is a bit mad). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loza03 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 He's not just a sumo wrestler, he's an Oni. Oni, whilst not necessarily having the 'tummy teeth' look Grendel has, were man-eating demons and whilst they varied in form hugely, modern depictions often show them as rather fat ogre-like creatures. Even his signature weapon is a fancy Kanabo, and both his helmets have horns, as most Oni did. So, yes, they did take from a man-eating monster from folklore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds more so like you agreed with the quoted text than disagreed tbh. FWIW, I agree with both of you on the jiggle physics... If a player needs/wants female frames to "jiggle for them" then they need to grow up and stop being creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham_Grenabe Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I don't mind the look (although "jiggle physics" are absolutely unnecessary and as far as I'm concerned, can be consigned to the dustbin of history). Anyway, the look is fine. But good god, the nauseating sounds. Worse than Nidus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reread the quote with a clearer head and you're right I suppose I do agree with them. My bad. Honestly, I could care less about the jiggle, it matters not. It's the puberty driven children that think that kind of humor flies in public, that I'm tired of. These children, need to learn that it's not just kids who play video games or for that matter not just males either. There are more adults who play than children and a large percentage are female. It's not an sjw thing. It's a simple respect thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teljaxx Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If Grendel looked more like these guys, I wouldn't mind. Though, he might end up getting confused for Oberon with those antlers. Spoiler If you don't know what game this is from, YOU ARE NOT WORTHY. Something more like a fat Yoshimitsu would be pretty cool, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
