How do you feel about tattoos in video games? When it's an optional thing you can get for your character like in GTA?
What about when it's a lore thing?

In pic related for example people put these tats on their body so they can have magic powers. But aside from looks and a bit of extra lore nothing is done with these tats. There are no mechanics involved with them; it's purely a surface thing with no substance.

They should add womb tattoos that make you addicted to cock

I'm so tatted up ingame it's unreal. But IRL I absolutely hate it, probably because women are retarded and always get random ink like a puzzle piece, video game reference and some cringe quote from a life help book.

No, fuck off

This meme has literally never worked, since the game's trailers.

Yes

As long as it fits the setting and character, I'm perfectly fine with it.

What the fuck happened?

all zoomoids around me are sporting tats all over their arms. vile

>>715957253
yeah but what about making them have game mechanics involved

>>715954668 (OP)
Technically the mechanic of these tats are the pictos you equip. It's armor.

>>715954668 (OP)
It tells me a lot about the developers.

people with tattoos should only be allowed to play video games characters with tattoos and vice versa

>>715954668 (OP)
I
Don't
Fucking
Care

Why would I? I am not some sexless chinless freak that is militantly against it so I can pretend I am the one who rejects women with my super high standards that they don't live up to.

Depends on the game. Fable had some minor mechanical elements with tattoos iirc. I could see a Yakuza game where tattoos act as a sort of journal.
Overall, the main issue is that if there are mechanics involved, then that leans towards the tattoos being (almost) mandatory. That means that the tattoos need to fit the theme and characters strongly, and if it's common among all characters, then there also needs to be enough variety among them to not look samey (Yakuza is again a good example where that works). And since it's balancing visual elements with mechanical elements, it suffers from similar effects as other equipment, which can lead to transmog being welcome.

calm down autistic sperg, you ruin the vibes when around. IRL and online

>>715958858
Hit a bit too close to home didn't I? Post chin

>>715958931
you are not the intelligent persona you view yourself as online, in fact you are mundane, low IQ and not very interesting to interact with at all
IRL and online you are a person avoided by others
and I will avoid you now
goodbye as you scream into the empty thread
your existence continue meaninglessly

So, I've got an idea for a tattoo I want to get, right? A solid black rectangle down the length of my forearm. How's that sound?
>inb4 why would you possibly do that?
So I can make up new stories to tell strangers about why I would possibly do that.
