Bro the more I read the worst the GHOST situation gets
Sorry for posing about this so much...
Im just trying to get all the info, and Im getting madder about it cause it just gets worse and worse like jesus fuck ghost how horrible are you?
It kinda makes me disgusted I looked up to this person in a way
Oh yeah heres a master doc I stumbled across (In someones post on yt[?] about it):
when people take Dean at face value (believe the shit he says cockily to project an image) i actually get so mad. Bro. You’re gonna believe the liar who lies?? On the liars who lie show???
Ya know I actually find it really funny when I’m attempting to make Moon in my rewrite (over on @starrytsamsrewrite) a horrible person and yet he SOMEHOW turns out to be better than Canon TSAMS Moon in some ways
Because that is honestly wild to me
I didn’t realize that Moon would’ve stooped so low to sell his brother over to a bunch of strangers who are assumed to hate Suns just to earn the chance to clear their name. And not even consult your brother on it or tell him???
No “Hey Sun, the Moon Haven wants me to give you to them for experiments, you cool with that?” or “Hey, you okay with being experimented on by people who may or may not hate your guts?”?
Meanwhile the Moon in my rewrite, I personally love him he’s such an awful person and fun to write, actually refused to use his Sun as a bargaining chip. I mean sure he attempted to kill his brother, abuses him horribly, blames stuff that is his fault on Sun, and made sure that man has no support system but he somehow didn’t do something that Moon in canon would stoop low enough to do
Hey all, so i wanted to discuss something a little bit different compared to my usual Splatoon ramblings because i have something that's been floating in my brain for a while now and I really wanna talk about it! But don't worry, I'll tie it back to Splatoon in this blog post!
So i have been seeing a lot of criticisms towards the new "hit game" Concord and a lot of it is very VERY well deserved. And one of the MANY criticisms is aimed towards the character designs and mostly on these characters who have become punching bags for the entire gaming community.
NOW! Let me come and say it, i am NOT going to be defending these designs at all, i am NOT a professional character designer but, these designs are flat-out dogshit and it's not for the reasons you think. I am not saying these character designs are bad because "WAHH!!!! FAT PEOPLE!!! WAHH!!! I HATE BLACK PEOPLE!! WAHH!! I CAN'T GOON TO THIS CHARACTER NOOO!!! WAHHH!!! I ONLY WANT STRAIGHT WHITE BARBIE DOLLS TO JERK OFF TO!! WAHH!!" If you're someone like... ahem.... asmondgold. And whine about how you can't goon to these characters and you're scared of fat and black people. Then you need to fuck off and genuinely go outside. And like... Idk, jump into a pit of lava.
The reasons why these designs suck is because they have terrible silhouettes, poor balancing, too many random colours that have no harmony whatsoever, lack of strong shapes and a lack of any clear cut qualities to tell us who the fuck these characters are. A good character design will tell you who a character is based on looks alone.
Let's take a look at how to properly do character design in a video game, shall we?
We will first start off with an iconic tank character, Heavy from TF2.
Heavy has a strong use of squares on his body, arms and hands, showing us that he is a strong and meaty character. Squares are used in larger characters to show that they are durable and strong. Heavy also has appropriate accessories on his body to show us what kind of character he is, like his bandolier, pouch, fingerless gloves and tactical looking vest. His legs are also small compared to the rest of his body which tells us that he probably isn't the fastest runner out there.
All of these simple design decisions the characters designers chose to include add up to create an iconic character who you can gather that he is a large and in charge weapons expert from the design alone.
Tell me something, what the FUCK do you get from this character?
He's a big person... That's it. I can barely gather any sort of character traits from this character. There's nothing. THEIR GUN IS FUCKING BORING TOO! AT LEAST HEAVY HAS A BIG ASS GUN! THAT'S JUST A BASIC BITCH ASSUALT RIFILE!
Now let's look at another iconic tank character. Reinhardt from Overwatch.
Reinhardt has a VERY strong silhouette, with his iconic helmet with the 3 spikes/horns, his giant shoulder pads, the pointy tips on his boots, his... groan... flap? thingy? idfk what that is but anyways, Reinhardt is an iconic tank character because his design is super well balanced, his concept of a futuristic knight is dope, and the lion emblem on arm showcase Rein's personality and origins.
I genuinely get nothing from this design. Like... Fuck all, i get NOTHING!!!
They are a tank character with a big gun... Okay? Is there... any cool details? Uh... there's a tiny flag.... What the fuck is that supposed to tell me about the character? The silhouette is boring, the character looks like a Fallout knock off. It's just... BORING!!
I could talk about the other tanks in Overwatch and how incredibly well designed they are compared to Concord's "anchors" and other classes but i don't wanna be here all day. Just know that D.VA slaps, Doomfist slaps, Ramattra slaps, ALL OF THEM SLAP HARD AND HAVE SUPER GOOD SILHOUETTES AND COLOURS!!
Now for our final "tanky" design, let's roll it back to Splatoon and talk about a character who is bigger compared to the rest of the cast.
BIG MAN!
His silhouette is actually so well done and is a masterpiece in character design, it is so incredibly distinctive and unique from other characters. He has a unique headpiece too, he has these droopy eyes that give him a relaxed look. He has some cool patterns, he's just a really well designed character that you can gather his personality from really well.
The reason why Concord's character designs fail is because it feels like Sony brought in a novice fashion designer to make characters in an hour and call it a day. The only designs from that game i can say with my full chest are okay are these guys, and even then they have ISSUES!
Haymar is supposed to be this fire user yet nothing tells me that they use fire. It's so easy to... oh i don't know... USE MORE RED?!?!? ADD FIERY PATTERNS?!?! WHY IS SHE COVERED IN FUCKING ANAL BEADS?!??! HELLO?!?!??
Roka is just.. fine, her colours suck but... I guess i like the helmet?
When the best looking characters out of your fucking 5V5 HERO SHOOTER are just... eh? You know got a massive problem. If we take a game like TF2 you can see just how well the designs are at showing the player what kind of personality and traits they have.
Scout has rolled up pants with tight socks on, bandages on his hands and a cap on his head, showing us that Scout is a fast and somewhat reckless character who gets into trouble but can get out due to his speed and wit. Medic has a simple pallet of white and red which are common colours used in hospitals and doctors. I could go on but you get the point.
If you're going to create a new hero shooter with a large roster, for the love of god, actually have characters with better silhouettes, colour balancing, accessories, etc.
Take a page out of their books and come back with a better fucking game. Or not. Sony... You piece of shit. You ain't beating the "PS5 has no games" allegations with these wack ass games. (This is coming from someone who has a PS5.)
The GlamMike theory mildly annoys me, so I'm gonna rewrite it to make sense to me.
This is entirely my opinion, you can use the idea if you want (if people even find this)or don't I don't care
Now here are my issues with this theory
Why Freddy? (And it's not because he's friendly that's because of safe mode he's on which turns off when upgrading him)
Why would Michael need Freddy to be powered with the recharge stations if he could take control and protect Gregory that way(the spirits in FNAF 1 do that already, why can't he??)
Why would Michael care enough to "possess" and protect Gregory when 9 other kids went missing?
Why would he refer to the Blob as his friends, when it's implied that it's agony and old remnant that probably doesn't even remember Michael in the first place
Wouldn't Michael and by extension Freddy know about the secrets in the Pizzaplex already? Because Mike worked there and his father did stuff there?
Now this is my GlamMike theory
All the Glamrocks have a small bit of Michael
Michael cannot control the animatronics
It's what's left of Michael, not him actually(cuz of Pizza Simulator's fire)
Mike's remnant is what allows the animatronics to harm people and/or other bots(Bonnie's appearance in ruin and Roxy's rage against staff bots on her track in the logs in-game)
Freddy says he is not himself because of the small piece of Mike he has being near the Pizza place
