Seriously, what is causing this? Who actually likes those quirky and dorky wholesome chungus good guy designs?
>>683698010left looks like concord charactersat least if you make them black women
>>683698010You're not meant to like them. 90% of the game is killing bad guys so they give all the cool designs to them.

Because modernity paints the actual good guys as the bad guys and vise vers (you know what regime I'm taking about)
>>683698010>wholesome chungusyou're just as "reddit" as the people you hate with this language
>>683698010"if given the choice between a strong horse and a weak horse one will naturally choose the strong horse"
>>683698010If you make the good guys look too good then noone will take the villains seriously. The only game series where I've seen it be in somewhat of a balance is Fallout where both the Enclave and the Brotherhood are pretty cool, same with in NV where both the NCR and Caesar's Legion have solid aesthetics. If the bad guys look cool you will take them seriously, you just need to make the good guys look cool "enough" that they are not complete clowns.
>>683699562Gonna be real, the rebels in the OG Star Wars Trilogy, way cooler looking then Stormtroopers.And in Battlefront 2 I'd always play Rebels.
>>683698683GundamTransformersStar Wars
>>683698967>>ff7>Implying dweebs in suits look even remotely as cool as avalanche(You)
>>683701556>GundamAnon that's not a good example
>>683699070Kim Jong Un ...
>>683698683Killzone is a big one
>>683703195Extremely based.
>>683698010What makes the ones on the right cool looking? Specifically, I've never seen it broken down.
>>683703867well cut uniforms for officers, strong looking soldiers with armor and bigger guns.the good guys look like some third world army shit is made to trigger your brain into taking a pity to them so you help them out more than expected, meanwhile the bad guys get all the good shit to show how superior they are.
>>683703867Jodhpurs and jackboots. Simple as.
>>683698010Good guys are supposed to be "safe" and clean to show how good they are, where as with bad guys you can have them be whatever you want as long as they look threatening slap on some nazi-esque clothing and you have yourself a cool looking bad guy
>>683698010Why would you base who you're rooting for purely on how they look
>>683698010Because the good guys gotta look>Weaker (underdog)>No Uniform (ragtag team of individuals rather than a group with an uniform)>Friendlier (bouba/kiki)So if the concept artist don't care too much, the villains end up getting the stronger looking, conceptually cohesive/consistent visuals and menacing looking equipment.
>>683704470Jodhpurs and jackboots are goofy shit, though. They're big poofy pants.
>>683698010Right only looks cooler than left if you're a nazi
>>683698967Terrans are cool though
>>683705621This but unironically, fascism obsesses over aesthetics. The Nazis had a fucking fashion designer make their uniforms.
>>683702198I think he meant Sephiroth tho
>>683698683Not a game but One Piece rebels are 3 trannies, a furry, cyborg cuck, 2 women, a guy who dresses like he got advice from Reddit and /fa/, a dude who does nothing all day, and 1 semi-cool guy who looks like a cancer patient. Whereas the marines have badass yakuza looking dudes, a guy who achieved Buddhist enlightenment, a guy who punches battleships (they used to have 2), like 5 babes with big boobs, Coby, and a shadow figure with indescribable power as a boss.
>>683702824In the original 0079 yeah, GMs and Balls are kind of goofy. Lately the Federation is taking on tacticool aesthetics while Zeon double downs on Wehrmacht
>>683701556>TransformersI was gonna argue with you there but, nah, you're right. Soundwave alone raises Decepticon cool-stocks by 500%
>>683706502GMs and Balls are cool thoughIf you want to talk about goofy literally look at every aquatic mobile suit, or the mobile armors.

>>683698010Me on the far right
