It just makes the game feel cheap and lowers then tension. I want to be immersed, and outlandish skins ruin the atmosphere of any game they are added to.
If you wanted to be immersed you would play a single player game OR milsim known for larping. You're a lying faggot baiting for attention here's a pity bump.
>>730740793Immersion doesn't mean realism. I can be immersed in a game of Overwatch because the game takes itself seriously according to its in-universe atmosphere. When you add an anime skin into a gritty shooter it makes you realize it is just a video game.
>>730740693Year 2020+ weebs are actual retarded cattle that buy slop skins when they see anime girls on them
>>730741093have you not seen real life soldiers having anime shit etc on their guns? it's a thing for whatever reason.maybe it was inspired by video games or maybe video games were inspired by real life. we will never know
This. I find p2w less egregious than all this tacky plastic crap, but for some reason this is like crack for the players and pure profit for the devs.
>>730740693Because it used to be unique but they've gone too far and haven't realized it ruins the game if not done in moderation.
>>730740693marvelification/overwatchification will continue until morale improves.
>>730740693
>>730741595this is tasteful >>730741242it isn't as common as outlandish skins in modern shooters
>>730740693so people buy them
>>730740693itasha culture for people that don't have the money for cars, you wouldn't get it
>>730743112you can make serious skins
>>730740693>picture unrelatedSo do you have any examples? Most kids games have silly skins. Arma, squad, red orchestra, ect dont have any gay cosmetics.
I saw a video of a real soldier in unkraine or something who had an AK full of anime stickers tho. Your pic related is not that farfetched from reality these days
>>730740693Because stupid niggers buy them, next question.>>730746760>>730741242You've got the chicken and egg confused. After 10+ years of normalisation of this shit, of course the retards that buy the skins in-game will do the analogue irl.
>>730747692You got it confused, retard. Shit like this has been around before you were even born.
>>730747993No, you do, you cocksucking nigger. And yes, I'm aware you'll now completely misconstrue the comparison to trench art in a weaselly way of justifying hyper-consumerist neo-anime faggotry.
>>730748146You're not worth engaging with.
>>730748252Good, know your place, coon.
>>730740693shame we don't have a no-hat mod like tf2
I used to play CoD daily for years until BO2 and now there's faggot losers running aroung with retarded skins they spent $20 on lmao. No shooter is safe from faggotry nowadays.
>>730740693microtransactionsplayers buy the most noticeable thing so they stand out, this encourages devs to make gaudy skins. Every game with microtransactions ends up looking like shit
>>730740693Because a lot of gamers now are literally retarded. That's it. I mean you have retards dropping $20 for a single character skin in a FIRST PERSON game. That's all you need to know.
>>730740693If you watch the GDQ conference for CS:GO skins, they state that they started with a mix of realistic and "paintball" styled camos and skins, but what ended up happening was that players were naturally drawn towards the "paintball" styled skins over traditional camo which were often times more colorful and less realistic. This caused them to shift how they thought about the skin rarity and tiering, where you're more apt to get patterned designs more commonly than custom paint job skins like your pic related. Also like your pic related, that skin is worth hundreds (or thousands at this point, really don't care) dollars and one of the most recent M4A4 skins released, the Naval Camo, is worth less than a dollar in factory new quality. You are way less likely to see that in most games over the cheaper skins. To answer your question directly, it's because the zany skin ideas make money.Interestingly, the GDQ showed a lot of the insight from Valve at the very least. Originally the skin quality was going to start off always Factory New and wear over time to show how much you actually used a skin, which sounds badass in concept and would give the impression that you were a veteran of the game, but then they saw it was an opportunity to make cost differences and additional rarity out of a programmed value, so they kept it constant.
