'Skins' have ruined online games
I'm completely taken out of a game when I see someone running around in a cartoon character costume or in a military setting looking like a rapper.
Somehow this was meant to be a ""good"" alternative to real DLC. No paid content DLC has caused as much displeasure to me as this.
Every online game has been ruined by 'silly' skins.

My character WILL dress like Spider-Man and you WILL appreciate it!.
Could not agree more with this threat, *literally unplayable*. The only thing annoying me more than people using trashy skins (even "fitting" ones that still look ****, because people have no taste), is no option to disable skins from being shown on your end in almost any game that has them.
(CoH2 is the only game coming to mind that has this option)

Agree there should be an option to disable them. Know there never will be since other people seeing the dumb purchase is a driver of sales.Reichspepe wrote: ↑ July 5th, 2024, 13:39Could not agree more with this threat, *literally unplayable*.

All of these cosmetic options are also a framerate tax.
Yes, forgot to mention that. Funnyly enough seeing skins makes me want to purchase them and play the game over all even less.J1M wrote: ↑ July 5th, 2024, 14:11Know there never will be since other people seeing the dumb purchase is a driver of sales

Thou shalt not SIMP
It's not even just the wacky ****** skins for me, it's the garish ugly-as-sin **** that looks like it was designed by a Korean-Indian nightmare hybrid. Helldivers 2 has such a beautiful default set of armor and they REFUSE to release anything that uses the same color palette, let alone a piece that looks like it was created in the same universe.
And does this look like something John Halo would wear?

Why do people think this is cool to do? Or pay money for? Why?

Guyver copium from the Master Chief.
I just looked it up and First Descendant is a ******* Nexon f2p game. Why the **** would you play anything from Nexon? Shits going to be a Korean grind fest unless you pay to skip it all.

"did… did you just try out a new game for the purpose of having fun instead of waiting to get other people's opinions?!"

I don't think any games selling those skins were good to begin with. Just a nice way to let any non-****** know to avoid that "game".rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ July 5th, 2024, 12:32You have now ruined your game for me. I have no way to disable seeing this stupid ****.
