Wow it’s been a while since anyone posted on the blog… So I bought myself a new computer recently, and an iPad, and a 3DSXL. With all these new toys, I’ve had so many games available I cannot decide what to play. Eventually I picked up Pokemon X, the latest instalment in the long-lived series. It felt like any other Pokemon game does (“Are you a boy? Or a girl?”), until I discovered there was character customisation.
Character customisation is so incredibly important to me. It’s fine if there is none at all (take the Legend of Zelda series, for example). But if customisation is implemented, it needs to be done WELL. Skyrim, for example, does it fairly well. If I can get my character to look at least somewhat similar to what she should be, I am content. And poor character customisation can be immersion-breaking for me – better to have it not at all than have some half-assed attempt.
That’s all for now. Next time I’ll talk about voice acting. 😀
