May I suggest "Toxique"?

They are all Robocop in Space games. All of 'em.

I think everybody but Shepard has better outfits in Mass Effect. The whole "put a bunch of doodads on it; in the future, we'll have more doodads" design style is dumb. I want things to look clean, functional, and most importantly distinctive. If you think this looks nothing like ODST armor or Red/Blue Robocop, you've…

I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. You're projecting.

Get psyched. That's what you're gonna get. Same stuff, slightly more of it, slightly better. Iterative as fuck, yo!

Phew. Thought I was talking to a regular ass person there for a sec. Glad we cleared that up.

"As an artist..." is the best way to start a sentence by the way. Love it.

I hope you can swap in some polygon elements that are un-boring and look like something I haven't seen before in every video game ever. That'd be sweet. Probably just gonna be slightly different space shoulder pads though. Let's be real.

My condolences.

Look up at those pictures at the top of this post. Those are generic palette-shifted armors. See the red bits. And the blue bits. Pallette-shifts, yo.

The problem with them is that you don't see any problem with them. They're generic. Completely uninteresting to look at. They convey no stylistic or aesthetic information other than "Another Space Video Game With Guns". The first Mass Effect had a vibe. It felt different. The designers made interesting choices. Each…

I'm a fan of the game too, dude. I've played them all twice. But visually it just gets less and less interesting with every sequel. What do like about this look? Why does his codpiece need like 12 panels? Isn't that going to get all gunked up with space dust?

More detailed = busier and more cluttered. Also more generic.

Looks like they've completely lost any of the Star Trek/Alien vibe from Mass Effect 1 and gone full Halo. Who's impressesd by this nonsense? I feel bad for all the artists that waste their careers coming up with slight variations on the Robocop/Space Marine outfit. Does anybody look at these outfits and instantly say…

Awww. You poor thing. I'm sorry your enjoyment was interfered with. Thanks for letting us all know.

You just compared the two. You said one requires more musicianship than the other and one is more difficult than the other. You made a comparison between two things and pointed out how they are different. Therefore you are insane. Therefore I don't take your comparison very seriously and I hope you get some…

I have no clue.

You'd be a "Kotaku commentor". If you can't edit Kotaku articles, you're not a Kotaku editor. If you make a game, you're a game creator. That's how language works.

Arthouse games are a thing and have always been a thing.
