Game developers are very creative!

Damn, just look at the originality!


Western developers are even better!


A thread for anyone to complain about everything that's wrong with the gaming industry.I, for one, think that this bald dude trendy sh*t is stupid. I also dislike how every game HAS to have an Online Multiplayer to be considered replayable or to have longevity... WHATEVER, MAN! I PLAYED CASTLEVANIA ALL BY MYSELF AND DIDN'T NEED SOME UGLY MOTHERf...ckER WHO'S THIRTEEN DRY HUMPING MY CORPSE OR SOME CRAP!

Two different statements: "It's all about the money," and EA games.

That is all.

Interesting thread.

I'm not of big fan of Western character design. It all looks the same. I see game previews and they all blend together. Just about everything is overly buff and "badass" with a lot of shooting and explosions. That's why I'm not a hardcore gamer.

Japanese developers certainly have a better eye for design and creativity. I guess that's why they are responsible for the most iconic game franchises in history.

Not a fan of Online or multiplayer personally. An occasional fighting game and that's about it.

Can't be bothered to contribute anything of value...

But about those pictures. They contain about every conceivable hair style out there. So before saying game developers (or character artists in your case) are lacking in creativity, you should give a few examples of new designs.

Actually, the more I look at that picture, the more annoyed I get. I don't know who's behind the crap that is that compilation (yay, more fanboy ramblings) but in my honest opinion, he's a stupid attention whore. So Nico really fits in there? Right. And Raiden? And Altair? Really? Haha, and Kane & Lynch? And Cortez? Contradiction much? Sure, I don't like space marines either, but then to crap on the total opposite of said space marine stereotype (an eastern Europe immigrant, two psychopathic killers, an androgen representation of the player, an assassin symbolizing a hawk, and a freaking parody of a bald space marine)... with all due respect mr Compilation, GTFO.

Also, it's not about how a character looks, but how memorable he is. Like, take Hitman's Agent 47 and the guy from Force Unleashed. Both are bald, but after just one glance at 47, you'd remember him. That's good character design. In comparison, I forget how the Star Wars dude looks even before taking my eyes of him.

Yeah yeah, I shouldn't take it too seriously, but really, it annoys me.

And a random question... Are you ever... you know... like, positive about anything?
