without threatening games studios or requiring that capitalism collapses first, what are methods you would use to fix these dumb multiplayer games
because unfortunately i think these guys want skins and progression systems now bleayyeaakkck
i think we gotta trick em into thinking they’ve got skins. my idea is that you get to keep your skins but only until you die, and then it turns into a puff of greasy smoke and you go back to looking like your friend Leonard dressed in lazertag gear. make 'em spend in-game currencies that aren’t tied to real world dollars and i think we have essentially a Skins Methadone Clinic
what are your ideas on how we solve this disGUSTING state of multiplayer games
Mind naming any? I have massive nostalgia for that era.
Monster Hunter
Armored Core 6, and for that matter all of the Fromsoft Soulslikes
No Man’s Sky
uhh The two recent Zeldas, although they also do amiibo integration
For that matter Super Mario Oddysey
And the Pokemon series, although character customization peaked in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon back in 2017
Palworld although I’m not clear if that game’s outfits are unlocked or if they’re all available at the start
I’m trying to think of something along the lines of Halo 3 but I’m coming up short.
All those games are great, not what I thought you were getting at, but great nonetheless.
Never played SMO, might have to emulate it at some point.
I was just thinking, “games with unlockable cosmetics that you don’t have to pay real money for”
