Cortana vs Big daddy update

im not very halo-savvy and this is an honest question, not bashing

 How is Cortana, (a semi naked curvy hologram) not run-of-the-mil fan service, the very thing some "serious" western gamers accuse lots of japanese games for ?

I'm sorry, I dont understand the question?  What is run-of-the-mil fan service?

Oh and im not sure if this will help with your question but she has a very laid out personality.  She is humorous, smart, etc.  She acts as a real human would most of the time and in a lot of ways is more of the main character than Masterchief.

Her character is designed as a woman who is built like a computer which expains the way she looks.  She doesnt have typical behavior what so ever 

 Having a personality is all nice and well but it doesnt explain how she looks like a naked curvy woman with bodypaint.

Fanservice is essentially unnecessary visual content intentionally added in order to please fans.

A holographic semi naked woman is a holographic semi naked woman.

Because she is an AI that looks like computer parts.  Computers dont wear clothes.  And here is what she looked like in the first game

Oh she is definitely fan service, gamers just gloss over the things that they don't want to see like that. It effectively comes down to what games people do and do not like and thus what they are willing to overlook in those games.

And this round has to go to Big Daddy in my eyes because of a) the main character in Bioshock 2 adding motives and the like to the Big Daddies and b) I hated Cortana in Halo 3 because of her tendency to pop up on screen and slow me down when I'm trying to complete the game on Legendary (and have thus already seen that part multiple times before)

Last chance to vote before next combatents
