Chris as always said his game was about immersion and not having anything breaking that immersion , thats what he enjoyed in a game ... he also said back then that he would only introduce things that make sens into the game and wont be immersion breaking ... the " hello kitty " skin is a dangerous first step into making star citizen indeed immersion breaking having " trolling skins " and other silly type of stuff ... i know some of forumers will pretend the community " want that " but its not true , the vast majority of peoples who will play the game dont even come on forums and they will have to endure these silly thing ... I hope the " hello kitty skin " was the first and the last silly skin and i hope there wont be any Marines or outlaw armor of any kind that will had panda ears or mascotte head and other crap of that genre ... Tera online wich was one of my favorite MMO as been ruined by micro transaction " trollish skins " these skins make no sens into the game universe ... who will go in combat with a " giant panda mascotte head " ? It might be funny for 1 minute , but seeing these type of trollish skins multiplied and become mainstream and see them on a daily basis become immersiion breaking and you realise you are no longer in the universe you use to love and enjoy making a trip to ... you realise that your in a silly game , with tons of trollish peoples who found them so funny to run around like this , and you have no way to disable their skin and not see it ... as soon as you see one of them your immersion is broken ... and the game world you were into , just colapse and make no sens anymore ... I really hope SC wont become a team fortress or a tera online .... Make badass skins that make sens ... make camo that make sens and are pretty yes but not intentionally silly and game breaking ... No more kitty skins , and please NO silly acessory unless there is a single of this item in the whole universe and only 1 players out of millions can wear it Its like you were watching a serious wars movie or sci-fi and then all of a suden , some pink hello kitty mascotte wearing guy arrive with candycanes machine guns ... anyones would immediatly loose all their immersion into the movie and would be totally distracted and would despise this silly entrance .. unless its a silly movie like a " space balls " movie , but do that in a star wars movie and peoples would be so mad at this ... Imagine peoples wouldnt want a pink hello kitty soldier with rainbow and a unicorn tales with candy cane guns to fight for or agains the empire in a universe like STAR WARS .... Silly stuff belong in silly games , like team fortress etc.. games that are cartoony and already revolve around this concept of casual funs and sillyness , just like " spaces balls " is to star wars Star citizen is the " STAR WARS " of videogames where silly stuff dont belong to and would break the immersion Just like game like Team fortress are the " Space balls " of videogames where silly stuff belong to Its the same , Star citizen isnt spaceballs , Star citizen is like star wars and need assets and skins that suits its immersion goals ... SC isnt a comedie silly movie its a serious immersive games ... Here is a tera exemple of game immersion breaking Here chris talking about immersion and how it was important to be be reminded that you are in a game ... well space kitty and silly cosmetics make you realise you are into a game Bikers and criminals serious organisation dosnt use hello kitty logo and pink outfits , and dosnt have silly names , they try to be intimidating .. not silly to be laugh at ... thats reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVua4SsaGqU Goffyness isnt part of the miltary neither par of organise crimes , syndicat or pirate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHEi95PD4I4 Only in videogames that give the options to silly players to ruins the contextual roles of syndicate and criminals organisation would run around in little poney outfit wich make Zero sens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEkVANgikS4
