    O.O

    Edit: Japan: Yes, the movie was so awful.
    You know


    I just don't care at all about character customization. "Oh look, I can put tattoos on it!"

    So?

    I'm paying $60 to do their job for them now?


    Give me a good story and gameplay, then we'll talk about character customization.

    Do you even know what All Points Bulletin is?

    It's an MMO.

    Why would I want the developer to tell me what I look like?

    And it's a PC game, so it's not $60.

    'Resolutions'. That's a new euphemism on me.

    apparently the CF draws a difference between "casualties", "kills" and "resolutions"

    it uses those terms for different things

    a resolution, as was explained to me, is when a specific target is successfully taken out by the assigned unit

    so, in reality, the guy i knew might've actually killed more people!

    he just mentioned the 150 he was specifically told to kill

    that did some shit to him, man

    i went drinking with him the one time and talking with him, god damn

    It's an MMO dude.

    Being able to create a character that looks unique to you is a pretty big deal.
    Not really. How good you look doesn't matter if the game is utter crap. I mean that video is a glorified tech demo. It's Barbie dress-up. I understand what they're trying to do, making it possible for you to recognize people you play with in-game on sight alone, but what's the point if playing the game isn't any fun? Character customization should be the last thing they work on, not the first.

    Do you actually think your cousins and uncles are going to be scrutinizing the people who post on your facebook? Anyway, it's super easy to be like "oh, it's a friend of a friend".

    Hakks I understand you're having to deal with living with your parents and what-not but... If you can't deal with explaining your internet friends to them then something is wrong. I understand the cultural differences - really, I do - but your parents are going to have to accept that they don't live in Iran anymore and that most of your friends aren't good Muslims, or even theists.

    Are you being purposefully dense or what?

    Yes, they have one video out that focuses on the customization the the game.

    Matt, did City of Heroes, Champions Online and All Points Bulletin break into your house and rape you or something? That video is detailing the character customization because the character customization is impressive and deserves its own video. There are other videos that show how the game plays. Just because you haven't bothered to look for these other videos doesn't mean it's reasonable to assume they don't exist, or in fact assume that there's nothing to this game besides what is shown in this one video that you probably only saw because Inquisitor posted it here.

    That's because you only watched like one video and didn't read anything about the game?

    Sounds like you're trying to pin your ignorance on the developers here.

    Yes they have a detailed character editor. But they also have a game, and it's been demoed to various journalists and their impressions are online. Don't be so quick to judge.
