And E3 unofficially begins...

[Andromeda18_]

Do you realize that I can actually divulge the difference between characters (people in the game) and real people? I?m having doubts about you? Seriously, I don?t know where you pulled out this idea that I have a problem with pretty people, but stop it. I have a problem with skin deep characters, and more importantly, the mundane writers who resort to the same archetypes time and time again.

Now I think you're the one who misunderstood.
This is what you wrote in a previous post:

I just want to know why we ONLY see the pretty battlers. I mean, are pretty people the only ones fit save the world? Is that why they think they are better than everyone else, cause with out them our world would fall into tremendous peril?

And this is what I wrote in reply to that:

You do realize the majority of people who create these characters aren't exactly pretty right? Don't go blaming this on pretty people!

You clearly ask, why we only see pretty warriors in games nowdays, if pretty people are the only ones fit to save the world, and if it's because of that that pretty people think they are better than everyone else. That's why I mentioned that the one's creating these characters aren't exactly pretty. The pretty battlers weren't created by pretty people who think they're better than everyone else. Pretty people might think they're better than everyone else, I'm certain some do, but that has nothing to do with why we only see pretty warriors in these games.
Unless you were talking about the characters in the game when you said "Is that why they think they are better than everyone else", and let me tell you it didn't seem that way, then there's no reason to doubt my ability to tell the difference between real people and characters in a game.

Anyway, if the ultimate point you are trying to make is just because it's pretty doesn't mean it's bad; that goes down as a big no shit. I'm just saying that far too many pretty characters are pretty to compensate for their lack of depth, and that just doesn't work for me.

First you were complaining about these new RPGs because everybody was pretty but then you complained about the bad writing and the shallow characters. If you don't like these new games because of the lack of depth or whatever then fine but not liking them because you don't like bishounen characters is a bit narrowminded, almost prejudiced. Personaly, I seriously doubt they're pretty to compensate for their lack of depth. They look the way they do because that's what pleases the players in Japan, it's in conformity with their culture and aesthetic principles and since these games are made in Japan it only makes sense they make them according to their likings.

Um, WTF? I really hadn't noticed...:confused:

His nose has always been a bit big and chunky but as I watched MI3 I couldn't help thinking he had something done to his nose 'cause now it's more defined but it's also a bit crooked. You can see that here: http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/5269/...0026ke.jpg
Not that it makes him any less hot. :p
