Tone it down, SOE, BRIGHT patterns are a step in the wrong direction.

Slippery slope bro. Slippery slope.

Camo patterns and wind shield decals does not mean the game will turn into physical representation of 4Chan.

That's it. Playing Vanu.

The colors are irrelevant and so is planetside 1. If the white was toned down to a grey it would actually be somewhat realistic. You can use any color if it's done right (for example, VS are purple and look great--but they still suck).

Having a bright zebra ship with hearts all over it is overkill.

Well he is right and really isn't making fun of anyone. It is a simple fact that videogames are meant to be somewhat fun and it is not like one camo and one decal will ruin this game for all serious players.

Word. Tbh I kinda expected even crazier decals than that. Anyway Lib looks awesome.

There were not hearts all over the ship. And I highly doubt that they would add a skin like that. It seems they are limiting skins to full colors and metals(Like gold and silver), and camos(Like zebra and desert).

Absolutely this. I am actually far more concerned about infantry cosmetics than vehicle cosmetics, although so far the devs haven't given me a ton of reasons that I feel I should be overly concerned.

If I see one goofy hat (outside of some sort of christmas/halloween type of event), I'm going to be very pissed. But that doesn't seem even remotely the direction they are taking.

A little silly with the hearts? Yes, but it's pretty subtle considering. Honestly, 99% of players who were around that thing probably wouldn't even see those hearts, aside from possibly in a kill cam.

On thing about the extensive cosmetic options they are clearly going for is that this seems like a guarantee that I'll be able to have my orange tinted visor back on my VS light armor.

Oh look, someone else who doesn't understand the difference between constructive criticism and "whinging".

Cool video. You present your subjects well (suicidal piloting aside

)

I assume you will be releasing any further footage in topical videos such as this one. How many more of these videos would you guess you will make? I feel like we are learning a lot about the game with every new video.

Thanks.

The point is that the idea of fun varies from person to person, and just because someone prefers games that are more serious does not mean their priorities or opinions are misplaced or inferior. That inferiority of opinion is what TB was implying.

Hey there, TB!

Constructive criticism? From what I've seen in the past you're better at giving it than taking it.

I have a lot of respect for you and what you've done in you career, but you're still just your average gamer and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You of all people saying "Videogames: Serious Business" to someone is practically the definition of the pot calling the kettle black though.

Oh... oh my God... I needed a change of pants when I heard the engine roar... This is going to be incredible...

Correct, there were hearts on the windshield though. To me, that means I hope this is a placeholder and not a step toward secondlife or saints row or whatever in order to profit. To me, that's not part of the identity of planetside.
