Hey you! Yeah, YOU!! ... Can I rant at you for a second? Therapy's expensive.
You know what I've always liked? Old school, progression-based cosmetic systems in video games. We're talking Halo 3 and Reach, Modern Warfare 2 (2009), and Black Ops 1.
The glory days, am I right?
No insidious ulterior motives, intrusive corporate mandated agendas, or gaudy visuals that clash with the game's style. Nah, just awesome unlockable cosmetics that fit the environment of the game AND reflect your status and reputation as a player.
The thing is,
and this was true even back in the day, these types of systems were pretty rare for singleplayer-only titles. And it always made me wonder, why couldn't a similar system exist for RPGs? Why can't I rep build-specific cosmetics that really reinforced my sense of identity in the world? What if that system ALSO integrated those cosmetics into the game world to add variety to all those duplicate weapons you're always finding?
Wouldn't something like that be cool?
It's a rhetorical question. The answer is yes, and that system is Art of War. Let's boogie.
