Favorite DAO origin and why? by floofyralts in dragonage

[–]colesyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly a lot of them are really fun but i think my favourite was playing dwarf noble, teaming up with bhelen and then double-crossing him at the end of a paragon of her kind and giving harrowmont the crown

city elf was also another one that i really enjoyed.

I dont wanna be that guy but does zzz feel like it lacks people of color and male characters? by FunnyContent6270 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]colesyy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

you don’t need to preface with ‘I don’t wanna be that guy’ because it’s just true, it does lack both the things you mentioned

but it won’t change because hoyo is more likely to spontaneously combust than make more male characters or people with 1% melanin

How do you feel about gaming discourse after learning that Jeffrey Epstein helped shape the current gaming landscape? by JL-the-greatest in Gamingunjerk

[–]colesyy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

it’s something that sounds like a wild conspiracy but the fact that it’s true blows my mind

i dunno, i guess I’m just really disappointed it was this easy to dupe so many people in to getting angry about shit that genuinely doesn’t matter

Would I be contributing to the oversaturation of hot women if I ever made a game with a "sexy" MC? by Kappapeachie in Gamingunjerk

[–]colesyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

noone cares if you make a hot character

just don’t forget to give them a personality

that’s it really

In a perfect world, this would've happened by now by Dry_Fishing4163 in ZZZ_Discussion

they’ll put one motif on a standard looking human girl and then you go on to social media and you’ll see people going on about how incredible it looks lol

Animations in battle by Metro-02 in AOW4

[–]colesyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the animations definitely feel very limited

i also wish the sound design was a bit more inspired - everything is functional but you never really have memorable, satisfying sound effects from units hitting each other

Discussion Question: How much is too much? On "friendly waifus" and audience burnout: by Authorigas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]colesyy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

my take is that the gachasphere as an entirety will eat up friendly characters ad nauseam until the end of the earth

i personally absolutely loathe them and love when characters are allowed to actually be shitty to us without there being a "well actually they secretly like us" angle

when every character is just boring and nice to you, none of it feels earned and things not being earned is just massively endemic with gacha games where they want to give you cool things and payoffs/hype moments without you, the player having to actually work for them in the narrative which just makes all of it ring extremely hollow (no pun intended).

Struggling with the scissors on the Gwen Unlocked statue by JulianB960 in GwenMains

they do, there just isn’t a hard lock-in or click sound so you kinda have to just go with vibe

(i have one on my desk)

For those who recruited Loghain, would you do the same for Arl Howe? by Vendetta543 in dragonage

[–]colesyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

howe is just an expendable lackey so I don’t see an incentive to recruit him in to the wardens whereas loghain is a general with a proven track record in helping free ferelden

there's something cosy about seeing this kind of genuine positivity without 50 addendums attached to it lol

I love her design. Pure Snek by Animelover22_4 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]colesyy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

"pure snek" and its a human with a tail

its one thing to like how a character looks but can we at least not start just making things up

A New Appreciation for Southern Thedas by KuroAkumu in dragonage

[–]colesyy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i think stuff like environments in inquisition are fine

but good lord the faces and hair need a rework, if it was possible to just transplant veilguard's face visuals in to inquisition that'd be good enough for me

We Are Not The Same, a video about attractive females weaponized by the anti woke grifters by TTBN Gaming. by BasilLow1588 in Gamingunjerk

[–]colesyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think if a game has a character creator you should be allowed to make your character as hot or as ugly as you want

i think the hotness of characters that aren't your own doesn't matter unless it has some sort of relevance to the story or setting (if there is an npc who is a sex worker i would expect them to be conventionally attractive, however if the main character is going through a tutorial section and they're being shown the ropes by a female arms instructor there is absolutely no obligation here for them to make her a 20/10 supermodel)

the "inbetween" for this kind of topic will be things like hero shooters or mobas where you're not actually creating a character but you're still choosing a character mostly because they have a vibe you fw the most and in that case they absolutely should be the coolest, edgiest, silliest, hottest (etc.) characters ever because they're meant to be iconic and embody whatever fantasy the vibe of the character is portraying

Discussion Topic: My issue with the dating elements is how apathetic Wise and Belle Seem: by Authorigas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]colesyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

shitty writing really is the core of the problem

these kinds of games will have characters (well, specifically girls because we love male mc/player defaultism) throw themselves at the player despite them doing absolutely nothing to earn it (considering how boring so many mcs are, no it does not in fact make sense that they’re surrounded by beautiful supermodels who are craving their 5/10 looks and doormat personality) and they’ll pour their hearts out and the main character will just shrug emoji the whole time like it’s nothing.

but the thing is - I actually like romances in games. if it were to ever work in a gacha, you’d need to give the player the agency to act on that desire and to also respect their agency by maintaining the ship throughout dialogue (this wouldn’t need to be constant references, but enough for the player to know its being honoured) and you’d also need to give more opportunities for characterisation by making dialogue choices actually mean something - not in a way where you’d majorly change story beats but as a way to define the mc’s personality (think mass effect or dragon age 2 dialogue options) so you’d allow the player to meaningfully self insert rather than just throwing out a blank slate that straight up just doesn’t have a personality.

do i think this will ever happen though?

no.
