Kids like skulls. Nice thread.

>>14443817

I'd like to ask how any self respecting person consciously spends money, shitloads of it, just so they can get some "look at me I'm a special snowflake" rexture/remodel.

because they are "edgy"

I agree with you OP I have never liked any skull masks in games.

>>14443827

Some games are even more Jewish than others and notice this trend, so as a result they always make the skull mask the most expensive thing possible because they know people will want to buy it, kinda like how alot of MMOs make the color black stupidly expensive.

The skeleton community is a big one

I know, but I wasn't talking about games selling these cosmetics, I was talking about whales buying these cosmetics, consistently to the point that it's actually fucking profitable to take a bunch of games by storm.

Especially with this loot box/random chance crate deal.

Skull masks can look alright if done well, but like most things that's 10% of the time, at best. 90% of everything is shit.

Still, I'm happy with skulls being the edgelord badge since they at least fit in with most games which revolve around killing and maiming. It would be much, much more annoying if shit like tails (horses, dragons, etc) or bird/fox/masquerade in general masks were all the rage.

THE BONE COMMUNITY?

I'm going to hope it's a cute skellington girl being lewd!

Because skulls are cool. It's something soyboys like you will never understand.

…Niggers

It brings them back to their voodoo roots.

>>14444029

It's seriously a nigger thing now though, so soyboys probably would actually.

I can't tell you how much I wish Payday 2 was a good game.

I love the concept and its fucking unrivaled when it comes to weapon customizations, but it's such a DLC-ridden clunky memefest I can't enjoy it.

I remember there was some cute Bulldozer porn back when we had PD2 threads but I can't find it again.

>>14444105

They've shown glimpses of understanding what they're doing, as well.

Remember the yacht heist? It's fun, requires decent planning and good execution. But it probably took months to make that so OVK would rather shit out another shitty bag carrying sim.

I can tell you right now the skull masks in PS2 are the single hat I have yet to see anyone buy during the entire lifespan of WWEW server wide.

>Payday 2: The Heist

>Heisting is harder and less rewarding than just shooting your way through everything

I'd rather navigate my way around a series of guard patrols and camera locations to pull off objectives in 4 different corners of the map than all group up in one spot or at best forming a line to pass bags while doing nothing but aiming for headshots.

>>14444263

>Heisting is harder and less rewarding than just shooting your way through everything

I haven't played in a while, so I may be wrong, but this is simply untrue. Stealth gets you more shit faster with less hassle. It's just boring as shit because it become bag simulator instead of fun shooter.

>>14444269

australia strikes again.

>>14444267

>He doesn't know about Aftermath

Talk about a bag simulator. Except its safes so you're even slower and the mission on Overkill was easy enough to do at level 1 and substantially more rewarding than stealth missions. Unless they released a stealth mission more rewarding than it since and didn't also release a loud mission more rewarding than that.

Once you get past set pieces, samey shooting mechanics is samey shooting mechanics, especially in a game like Payday 2 that encourages grinding.

Every enemy dies faster to headshots, so there is no variation in how you play. Even when a special enemy type comes out like a Medic or a Taser, you just change up your priorities to focusing that enemy first. It's not like other similar shooters like L4D where you treat enemies in different ways (knockback boomers) or something like Borderlands where the weak spot of enemies varies. Just shoot the same fucking spot on every enemy. And do it running whatever meta-weapon is best be it a specific rifle, dual pistols or silenced shotty. Also run whichever build makes you most invincible in the current patch. You barely even need skill tree variation because it gets increasingly easy to get high level perks.

Payday 2 is a terrible game for shooting. It's fun while you're playing through the first time and you crank up the difficulty bit by bit and you try out a couple of weapons, but once you realize that all you're ever going to be doing is shooting the same soldiers just with increased HP/damage and carting bags from point A to point B, the fun stops.

I thought that Mexicans liked them?

that planetside skull helmet cracks me up every time, like a happy skeletor, maybe a bit melted.

theres a MAX one that looks kinda like an Atlas battlemech, that one's alright.

>>14443856

haha zenimax media inc is such a quirky funny company I used to not want my favorite games to be bastardised by kike corporations but then I took a dubstep soundtrack to the knee xD

I like skulls. It's needs 205 more bones to become full skelly though and that's the best form of all.

>>14444247

> ghost from call of duty

I've never understood the appeal of the MW characters. I remember playing the campaign but never felt anything about the characters.

>>14448437

Ehh its action movie shit

>>14445417

Jesus christ calm your autism, also

>nuDoom soundtrack

>anything like dubstep

You are retarded.

>>14448518

>blr is p2w

Maybe in its post PS4 parity incarnation, but not up to that point.

>>14444359

That's kinda bad too don't you think?

>Why the fuck does every online community love skull masks so god damn much?

It has a symbolic association with death & the grim repear, and by extension being skilled at the game (that has an objective of killing).

>>14448461

It still sounds like complete dogshit (which it shares in common with dubstep), I really cannot empathize with people who say it is actually good. They are like space aliens to me, I just stare at them.

I'm not sure why it is skull masks.

Respirators/Gas-masks are way more cooler (and sometimes useful) than them.

I've always seen the skull mask/helmet design as bland and lazy, it's so fucking overused. When a game gives me the option to get creative with my cosmetics, I at least try and be original. I always respect my opponent more when he has tried to be original in the way he looks bad-ass and I get unreasonably angry when I see some fucker with skull designs and red/black colors. I guess it's this lack of humility that they have that pisses me off, because they are trying to be the "ultimate" with no fucking experience to back it up. All the players wearing skull masks are almost always beginners or incredibly shit at the game. It doesn't inspire fear in me, it just makes me want to kill them harder.

>9 times out of ten i just want a face mask of balaclava or something to that effect

>get skulls and goofy hats

>blr is p2w cancer trash

Not anymore, it's now a gook-tier grindfest but at least everything available with whalemoney is buyable with grindmoney and I mean everythingexcept 2x credit boost and money skins

It's mostly spics. Not even joking. They infest every online game.
