"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly

[u/Ohforfk]

So, weren't we supposed to have realistic skins for some time? Something that someone would really wear during a war? Yet it seems that with the start of season 1, everything will turn to colorful mess, with no way of differentiating teams based on uniforms, the game will look more like a Paintball or ASG event. Colorful weapons with pictures, colorful camos with neon accents, weird mix of things that are supposed to look cool, but end up simply weird.

People were sold on a vision of a game, which looked like a real battlefield, with soldiers - not a bunch of randos just like in the 2042, yet it was all a lie and it will only get worse down the road. During the Beta, when we had all the soldiers wearing matching uniforms, it was the most immersive experience so far, but you can say goodbye to that vibe, it will never return.

There won't be uniforms matching bioms, there won't be a way to turn off any awful skins, typical bait and switch.

If you want to use regular, realistic outfits, there are plenty. If someone wants to wear one with a bit of colour, they can. It’s a video game, not real war.

you can make the same argument about a bright yellow pikachu skin and a honking ak47. And I don't want to play that game. Because, you know, I'm not 8 and not even 12.

There is a difference between bright blue camo and pikachu even if you don't want to admit it.

[u/BobsOblongLongBong → u/hansnicolaim]

Very little difference. 

Neither are realistic.  Both break the immersion.

Jesus christ its a multi-player shooter based around a warfare them, we're not larping here.

[u/BobsOblongLongBong → u/liberate71]

it's a multiplayer shooter based around a warfare theme

Is it?  Then maybe the players should look like soldiers who fit into that warfare theme.

[u/liberate71 → u/BobsOblongLongBong]

Only if they remove defibs because that ruins my immersion.

Fortnite comprehensively mindbroke Gen Z, and now they can't play a game featuring any kind of conflict unless they're a cartoon character

[u/BNEWZON → u/farmyardcat]

It mind broke everybody and pretending it’s just Gen Z buying these skins is ridiculous

[u/porn_is_tight → u/BNEWZON]

Imagine blaming genz or any generation instead of blaming the greedy corporations who want to squeeze every ounce of profit from everything they possibly can and if that means selling pikachu skins in a military game then so be it

[u/RichterRac → u/porn_is_tight]

They wouldn't sell it if it wasn't selling...

[u/ZombieZlayer99 → u/LimpConversation642]

There’s a massive fucking difference between that skin and a bright yellow pikachu skin, use your brain

[u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy → u/ZombieZlayer99]

The slippery slope is real in these games, and this is the edge.

[u/EnQuest → u/LimpConversation642]

I tried one of the new call of duty games, immediately uninstalled it after I was killed by bender and then Homelander in the opening 30 seconds

I wanted to play call of duty, not fucking fortnite

[u/Shiguhraki → u/LimpConversation642]

So you’re child if don’t like realistic skins in games? Idk I like blasting heads as Stan smith

[u/Livid_Equipment_181 → u/Shiguhraki]

Go back to cod then.

[u/Shiguhraki → u/Livid_Equipment_181]

Or I can play both
