The main character... is YOU!

>The main character... is YOU!

Why is this becoming more and more common with games? Why can't I just play as someone else with his/her own personality, character, and story? I'm not so insecure about myself that I have to project myself into every video game hero.

Snake isn't ((you)). He's his own character.

Bruh this dude straight up be thinkin an rpg is meta-commentary

La Creatividad says otherwise

There are different Snakes, but (You) are Big Boss. There's a difference.

Raiden throws away the dogtags with your name at the end of MGS2.
Fukushima is God

especially for porn

I love when boomers think something wasn't happening back "when I played video games"

Hell the Zelda series got better about making Link his own character in later games.

Cool thread faggot

Is this the KANTOOOOL guy?

Dragons Dogma had something like this. Only for how you stood idle though.

Did it really? The only time Link had his own character was in Hyrule Warriors, Cdi games, and BotW. And while those games can range from good to not great, he never had a good character, which defeats his entire purpose of existing: He's you. You're Link. It's about you saving Hyrule. You're the "Link" between reality and Hyrule. Link is the representative of the player as we are supposed to be in his steps as we name ourselves with our save files.
Giving him his own identity ruins him.

Wind Waker as well Boomer.

Also I'm FINE with Link being (You) I just want people to realize this trope has existed since the beginning of gaming and complaining about it makes you look like a boomer.

It's made of humans

Hipster food. Just another gimmick food made for sheltered white kids to brag and feel good about buying and eating it.

Because this is what normies prefer over unique, well thought out original characters.

Based.

Also a xenoestrogen pushed by the jews to make you weak.

You're also Raiden

I'm sorry but why in the world would it be necessary for the player character in fucking animal crossing to be their own person

zoomers loooooove 4th wall breaks
they cannot get enough of them

Does anyone have the original Kantoooooo reaction saved? Can't find it anywhere for the life of me.

will always bother me

It's just a meal replacement consisting of onions and lentils, you drink it if you don't want actual food I guess.
Course Zig Forumstards uses it to shoop on various wojaks cause "basedboy xD"
