You are not this guy. I repeat, (You) are NOT this guy.

>>725429579 (OP)
But I want to be this guy.

The drooling makes him look retarded

why

>>725429579 (OP)
Cool looking character
Ill play this game when I can be "this guy" and pvp

>Be a bit cheeky with your advertisement to sell the "play as the little guy" type of gameplay you envisioned
>Uppity zoomers used to getting asspatted non-stop freak

>>725430979
are these "zoomers" in the room with us right now making the game fail?

>>725429579 (OP)
I don't understand the logic behind this advertising. These days we have more games where you play as a nobody than games where you are ‘“this guy”'
I would rather have a Supreme Commander or Titanfall style game with this aesthetic than another extraction shooter.

>>725429579 (OP)
I want to fuck this guy.

>>725430801
they patched that out like a year ago

This game runs like absolute dogshit holy fuark

>>725432450
This

I'm so excited to play this piece of shit 2-3 years from now when it might be not a complete piece of shit and instead just mostly a piece of shit.

>>725431812
This was pretty much exactly what I thought. I don't think there's a swifter kick in the nuts than seeing something with a really cool artstyle and then being told it's going to be a battle royale or roguelight deck builder or pick three vampire survivors.

And then acting like this was some crazy shocking game changer of a decision is just tightening the screws. Oh well. Game isn't looking great either way, so I don't think it really mattered.

>>725429579 (OP)
You're not that guy, pal. Trust me, you're not that guy.

>>725433943
But he is over there
And we are out here
and now I remember that we are in there
and he is the sheriff.

>>725434014
But what I want to know is
Where's the caveman?

Yoey won bigly

Look at the hands

>>725430596
Idk the lore of his game but it's probably a brain-dead cyborg freak wired to get pleasure from killing

so yeah, very retarded, very deadly

>>725435848
not very good at thinking and tactics then huh.
not very deadly then.

>>725436262
Works for the guy in your picture so I don't get the complaints.

I might be this guy.

>>725429579 (OP)
Me and the boys praising Mother and respectfully asking for uppies

>>725429579 (OP)
Hmm I could be that guy.....if I felt like it.

>>725430535
You're not that guy pal

>>725430535
no way, you're just a kid! maybe when you're older

>>725433357
>Game isn't looking great either way
It looks fantastic in terms of design and lore but the gameplay is just trash. It would make a good setting for a tabletop RPG.

>>725429579 (OP)
there are so many games where you either play as a nobody who can only hope he survives this day and has to work with a team or a badass yet very generic looking dude, or a combination where you are told you're a grunt but rise to become a huge threat
where are the games where you play as a big fuck-off bulky monster destroying everything, I wanna be the cool guy, not the handsome hero or the mook, the big muscle bastard or the sick abomination, it's rare to see these games nowadays

>>725438153
sorry you get to play as johnathan hawk and you have one pistol, three grenades and stubble. The enemy gets a minigun and arrives on the battlefield in a canister fired like a missile.

>>725435848
There is nothing like him in the game right now but he resembles those European soldiers who are ordinary people.
Europe already have tanks completely covered in bodies, Russians have a more human design while Asia uses robots that look like Terminator or synths from Fallout.

i had 30 hours of fun with randoms when it released despite the lack of content, is it doing better now?

>>725439264
how come there are not many games where you get to play as a unique character? why is it almost always the most vanilla mother fuckers out there?

>>725438153
>modelswap characters out with generics via mods like euro soldiers, fat assed mech pilots and the waifubot herself
>the one dude that was porting all of the models over only did it on a commision basis so most of the asian robots, ruski conscripts and water thieves haven't made the jump over yet
On the plus side you can throw em a fiver to play as midriff exposing foid with no eyes, a samurai looking motherfucker with a false face and a dude dressing up like a wendigo. You don't realize how nice some of these models look up close when you finally take that retarded backpack out of the way for closer inspection. I just wish they would have that as an option and just run it under the logic that you're a turncoat who didn't feel like getting sent to the literal meatgrinder. Because fighting a column of tanks with a SCAR is a retarded idea that isn't worth dying for.

>>725439213
It's been getting a ton of monthly content updates, a couple new maps, a bunch of new enemies, etc. I'd say it's worth a run or two now.

>>725439213
Played 20 hours. Wait till 1.0.
A.I. still needs work, spawns need to be more dynamic and less predictable, and overall costs reduced.

>>725439470
Because games with a unique MC always, invariably appeal and sell less to audiences than Mr Generico.

>>725439945
what if it's supah dupah fun though?

>>725437990
The unkillable enemies get real old after a while. The dog being the worst offender. The only fun I've had was watching a euro mech tearing the arms of that Toothy one grub style and beating him to death with them. Otherwise they just become an environmental hazard that you can't really take down without friends involved.

>>725439470
guess which audience actually pays money

>>725439945
I feel like they've been saying that long enough they've convinced themselves it's true, but some of the most successful games of all time are about faceless dudes being cool.

If only more halo killers copied the supersuit part of halo.

>>725440427
"guy in armour" isn't not generic

what if I wanted to be the cool dungeon creature stocking and terrorizing adventurers and slaying heroes instead of being one of the usual classes for a change?

>>725440472
It's a sight better than what we usually get, and you already know there's dudes in boardrooms getting really angry that they can't see master chiefs face. Maybe they're just wrong.

What game is this thread even about?

>>725439470
Because everything is harder to make, cosmetics, animations, interactions etc see what happened to beast races in Elder Scrolls

>>725440965
Ooooh, cool, I've never heard of that before
I was thinking it was abiotic factor or something, the aesthetic of it is pretty sick

>>725436262
I think Khorne is a pretty cool guy
eh kills teammates and doesn't afraid of anything

>>725439470
>how come there are not many games where you get to play as a unique character? why is it almost always the most vanilla mother fuckers out there?
Because then the manchild gamer cannot self-insert himself and have sex with his waifu.

Both the West and the East do this. It's why we had a meme about how every MC in western games is bald/buzzcut space marine with brown hair and brown eyes, while the eastern games have short & skinny nerd boy with black hair and brown eyes that get magically isekai'd to another world.
Why do you think faceless/voiceless protagonists are a thing?
If the physical features of my MC are the difference between selling ten thousand units, you bet your ass I'm going to cater to the majority of the population to make that extra revenue.

>>725441342
you know faceless dudes can still be cool if the overall design is unique
>>725441134
you mean Kharn? Khorne is too big to fight anyone the bastard

>>725439470
Because most people now need a character that can be easily be self-inserted as.

For example, why do you think Snoot and that cripple gator game has Anon as a fucking protag? Cause men who play these games are insecure and NEED a faceless character.

>>725441457
never played it, I think they just like the dino gals

>>725441019
it's funny how in abiotic factor they have this whole exact same meme of you not playing as the badass and instead the fucking weak npc but Gordon himself was one of them and was just in the right place and time as the game puts it and in abiotic you can end up becoming a menace just like him if not more

>>725441447
>you mean Kharn?
the point of that meme is humorously misapproporate the qualities in question

the original meme is "I think Halo is a pretty cool guy", but Halo isn't a guy, it's a space station designed to kill all life in a certain radius

>>725441342
I don't think it necessarily sells better or worse, it's just more predictable that it will sell. Once you establish something new has potential, everyone suddenly starts making lots of that too. Isekai sloppa is aiming at an incredibly predictable, safe market that will always at least fund the effort to make something in the first place.

This game felt like it was bolting to the goalpost just to be the first game with this sort of look, meanwhile the actual mechanics behind it feel totally hollow.

I wonder what drives people to channel their creativity like a dog pissing on a lamppost rather than put faith in their idea that it will be appreciated despite it's release date.

>>725440926
I guess that's fair but I feel like one can make a game like that if the whole thing was tailored for such a character
I don't know but it would be something alright

>>725429579 (OP)
Really? Not even as part of a cathartic sequence where I get to briefly take control of him and go on a rampage? Sounds lame.

>>725429579 (OP)
my favorite games are when you start off as not that guy but gradually work your way up to being that guy

>>725436262
>not very good at thinking
>not very deadly

Are there games like hulk ultimate destruction that allows you to play as big guy crushing shit? Like instead of throwing small enemies and hiding behind walls, you can just bulldoze threw them and crush or throw anything from small, to big enemies to the environment itself
Closest thing is bananza but it's not really completely the same

>>725437990
sounds like a a nechronica homebrew

>>725429579 (OP)
The one time i tried this game they broke stealth so enemies would just sixth sense you from anywhere and you couldn't shoot them obviously, so it was just unplayable and i couldn't understand what the fuck you even supposed to do. But hey surely in 5 years it leaves EA will be super good...

Why everything must be online-only and a coop/pvp now? What happened to SP?

Also did they change captcha just for /v/? Granted that I cleared cookies yesterday, but now I get +10 letter captcha with 'logic' minigame

>>725443734
a successful online live service game makes a lot more money than a one & done sp purchase, so companies are chasing it.

>>725443157
I'd like to start off as that guy and then become even more of that guy, and by the end of the game I should be ten meters tall and have an anti-tank cannon.

>>725443734
The new capcha is to counteract some pedo spammer.

>>725429579 (OP)
>DUDE let's kill your progress if you stop playing for any reason LOL
They absolutely destroyed their release momentum and I still haven't bought it because I was put off by that.

>>725444052
I love how they took half a step back and it was enough for some. Should have never seen the light of day

>>725439264
I was so hyped when they made the chad boss playable
I would buy it at day one if there is a single player game where he would just punches through the plot

>>725444052
Holy zoomer

>>725441447
>you know faceless dudes can still be cool if the overall design is unique
If we're talking about modern games, at that point I'd just have a character creator, or allow you to customize your own armor.
But even then, "unique", is sadly overrated. Look at how many people were crowing over the fact that the number one character combo in Baldur's Gate 3 beta was Human male fighter.
People talk about how Femshem in Mass Effect had a better VA, but the stats show only ~18% picked femshep.

>>725442212
I would love to have more unique main characters in games. But as games have gotten so much more expensive and time consuming to make, people start getting nervous about not making their money back and they want to play it safe. They want relatable characters that the player can attach themselves to. The Prawns in District 9 are awesome, but we all know AVATAR made more money.

Isekai was just an example I used for Eastern games. In reality most games are Isekai in nature, due to the setting being fictional and fantastical. I don't see a game like Mass Effect to be all that different from Final Fantasy. Biotics is just magic by another name functionally.
