This is more an indictment of just how sorry a state gaming is in right now. That a game needs to confirm to some set standard, outside of gameplay fun factor, to be seen as ok enough to play only continues to contribute to the homogenisation of games. |
There have been factors other than just gameplay in a game's appeal for basically as long as gaming has existed.
Character designs matter, particularly for a game like this. Most people want to play as characters that are appealing and cool, not ugly and lame.
