But he did crash before they finished hitting him, there might not be a system in place to give the kill to the last person shooting before "Suicides".

And it's entirely possible to fund it the way they have decided to without going the silly route, such as simply making really badass, universe suitable customizations.

Going the silly route with customizations is going the easy route, and I feel it ultimately cheapens the experience. Both literally and figuratively I suppose. I'd be glad to pay more for what I feel would be more of a quality product without them.

Love TB's commentry

Personally I don't think there will be too many zebra lib's flying around the skies... and to be honest, even if there are, it will make them easier to spot and shoot down so its win win!

Everybody has a different idea of fun. So of course it doesn't make 1 less valid than another. From what we've seen in the game, I think Planetside 2 takes itself at least "moderately seriously" just not too seriously. All of this is a matter of taste of course, but there is still plenty of room on the silly scale that the game could go but they don't seem to be doing that. Take Saints Row 3 for example.

Meh. WWII bombers had pinups on the side. It's not like there is a giant trucker cap mounted on top of the aircraft.

Also, it's the future. If they can do invisible soldiers, they can probably do paint that's only visible from one direction

Not to mention, that was the Reaver cockpit we were looking at. The game is still in alpha.

Anyhow, no, it doesn't really offend me or strike me as totally outrageous. It's subjective, and I fully expect this to be crossing the line for some people, but not for me. This is actually pretty much where I draw my line.

Just dont forget to record a video of it

Perpsective:

This is an example of what Planetside 2 is not doing.

Not saying any of you who dislike the zebra pattern should have to like it or accept it. Just reminding you that yes, Planetside 2 does still take itself somewhat more seriously than some other SOE multiplayer FPS's do.

Kurtz · 2012-05-23, 12:33 PM

So Dice d emasculates jets and SOE follows suit? WTF this deserves a separate post/rant. Bring back bombing no...bring back SKILL to first person shooters. Bring back bombing.

Ive been fighting with Dice since BF Heroes where they first removed bombs AND made it so a sniper could take out a plane with 3-4 shots. Bombs took skill, yes they killed a lot of folks, but it wasn't like you could just fly flat and carpet bomb...Like PS1. I'm sick of people who can't learn to do something want to take the ability away from someone else.

Another problem with BF heroes IMO besides neutered air.

On a positive note, the game looks amazing, the Lib looks fantastic, the physics are there just need the bombs.

New standard, suicide Galaxy bombing other aircraft out of the air.

kertvon · 2012-05-23, 12:35 PM

Love the lib, it is beefy. Love the sounds. HATE that skin... Camo stripes = okay, zebra stripes = ???

I do get it is a game and whatnot, but... hearts on the cockpit?... There are plenty of practical customization options totally worth spending some real cash on.

Oh well, the game is looking great anyways I suppose.

Kipper · 2012-05-23, 12:39 PM

The hearts... lol... Okay, that was weird, and not my personal choice - but you can hardly see that stuff anyway.

The zebra pattern.... I actually kinda liked it. Again, maybe not something I'd go for too much of myself - but I didn't mind seeing it at all. It was.... individual

He is a commentator talking to a fan base that knows nothing of the series. He was just trying to have some fun for them and even said himself the stuff looks ridiculous.

I'm sure there will be players that try to out-gawdy each other. I'm also sure there will be many many players that go the complete other direction and make their visual customizations as functional as possible. It's Planetside. Some people will have more silly fun, and some people will have more serious fun. They really are not mutually exclusive.
