Poll: Character customization in FPS, YAY or NAY?

[Kasawd]

Character customization is my cocaine.

It allows me a greater deal of immersion in any game with even minor personality elements.

I would freak if any DM told me that my Chaotic evil drow bard could not find a floppy purple fedora to shield his eyes from the sun.

 

[Alex the Pally]

"Yay"
If I'm cutting people in half with a machine gun I want them to SEE who's doing it to them.

I think the industry would be much better if more games incorporated that photo feature from RSV2.

The combination of not having to pick a class element of FPS with the combo of customization from RPG tickles my fancy. If I have one gripe about RPGS, it's that your stuck with whatever you chose as a class. If mages suck TOO BAD ***** your stuck.

If their is one thing I hate about FPS...S it's the lack of customization. Seriously, if I snipe more, shouldn't I be better at it than shotgunning?

 

[Akai Shizuku]

Character customization is always a good thing, in my opinion...regardless of genre.

 

[Madshaw]

in most fps games its pretty worthless altho I am guilty of having some fun playing around with armor in halo3 even tho I dont play it online

I played through legendary just to get more... my xbox isn't even hooked up to the web

 

[kommunizt kat]

it gives you a personality for you're armor... thats better than looking like some random grunts in the front line.

 

[mad benji89]

i dont think in single player it would matter that much because if ur in first person you cant really see what your character looks like anyways but i think in multiplay/ online it's cool because then it lets to create a your own character and give him or her thier own identaty rather than just being anouther face in the crowed.

owe sorry to post a qestion in your post but dose anyone know if bourderlands lets customise your apperance, and or armour?

 

[Tonimata]

Sure, it's always a nice thing to have.

Also, to a certain extent, making classes in games like CoD IS character customization.

(The skins change with the weapon, not to mention the killing power)

 

[Kajt]

Meh. Doesn't really matter.

What aboot games like fallout where you can switch to third person? Also; what aboot multiplayer?

Yes, what aboot that, buddy?

 

[Mezrev]

There is no such thing as too much character customisation.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Certainly yes! I'm a total sucker for character customization. If a game has a vast customization system, I'll definitely get it.

But if you're so narcissistic that you look at yourself in a mirror in a game then you deserve to give me that extra kill

Oh snap.

 

[Ryuk2]

Only if there are mirrors, shadows, in game cutscenes and reflections from water and such.

 

[Unkn0wnSo1di3r]

im thinking of a FPS that allows you to go completely everywhere
and personalization is everything from weapon design to character stats and physical
abilities.

a pencil and paper RPG without the pencil and paper

 

[high_castle]

The RPG fan in me likes customization. It made Rainbow Six Vegas 2 much more enjoyable, for instance. And I don't think Fallout 3 should count, since the game is technically an RPG and thus customization is basically mandatory.

 

[Abedeus]

That's "couldn't care less". If you are going to use complicated and intelligent phrases, use them correctly.

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

yes, one of the reasons keep playing saints row 2

 

[Joshimodo]

Yay, certainly.

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

I like to imagine myself shooting nazis/terrorists.

 

[iJosh]

Only during the campaign of the game. But during online play. There should only be a set amount of armor or clothing you should be able to wear. Like in Halo 3.

 

[Chipperz]

What aboot games like fallout where you can switch to third person?

hmm...

well yeah
thats cool of Fallout 3

everyone ends up in telsa armor with a plasma rifle anyway

No they don't. Talon Merc Armour and a Gauss Rifle, here.

My other character I'm playing at the moment has the Antagonizer's Costume and the Man Opener. Out of nine characters that I have at the moment, only three of them wear Power Armour, none wear the Tesla Suit.
