...doesn't that ruin your immersion else what's the issue with giving players the option to have larger weapons if you also have the option to have smaller ones? Why can't others look cartoony if you don't have to?
I’m coming from games like TERA where others’ freedom to look how they want totally ruin the game for me. It doesn’t have to be “immersion” (I think that term is used too often and incorrectly). It’s an awful aesthetic style. My immersion doesn’t have to be ruined for me to be annoyed by a guy riding around on a cartoon duck which is wearing an Afro and Beats headphones. And the guy himself is wearing Speedos, sunglasses, and has a giant panda-shaped ice cream bar on his back.
And that isn’t a silly made-up example, those are real options in that game. Here's a typical TERA character from an in-game screenshot.
And here’s that mount I mentioned.
Again, I don’t need to make an argument about immersion to hate that crap and not want to see it.
TERA . . . nuff said
I actually enjoyed TERA. Big Glaive Lady (Valkyrie) was a lot of fun. But uh... yeah... That shit's ridiculous. She had like 3 ultimate abilities.
Tera is still my favorite mmorpg. The elves . . .
Best recommentdation to you is play a big race cause weapons usually scale to size of race and maybe have the camera a little closer if you can help it so weapon looks bigger.
Sorry for all the edits, my phone sucks!!
Amen!
For me, I dont expect or want it to be two times the size of a character but I dont think it would be a bad idea. I dont play video games for characters in game to have the same capability I have. Our characters are suppose to be heroes of the people meaning have some extraordinary capabilities. So being stronger than most and being able to wield an epic weapon shouldn't be issue.
I dont have anything against large great swords like the Scottish Claymore, the French Bastard Sword or German Zweihander. Large swords can play a part, but need to fit the medieval theme. If you want to swing something oversized use the Halberd
That is one thing I that is great. I love the fact that Steven is (for the most part) sticking with his vision. I still don't understand why people threw a tissy fit like a bunch of children over stufferton, but whatever. I thought it was stupid too, but could understand it being in the game since there was lore to back it up. I honestly think Steven is close to telling someone to fuck off if they argue too much with him about what should be in a game he is leading the design for.
Sheesh those TERA pics are pure eye cancer >.< I couldn't run away fast enough from a game looking like that.
Doesnt look too heavy ;D
Edit:
And i also think that this is mostly about paddle like swords. A hammer can still be swung, if the handle is long enough ;D
Good ol' Skallagrim. I haven't seen any of his vids for a while. That should probably change.
