It's nice to see Ubisoft being so inclusive though. There aren't nearly enough game characters with baby arms

 

[SomedayTheFire]

This thread is fucking ridiculous.

 

[Milly Osworth]

I aint playing no nerd.

 

[Gutek]

Digging it, if true.

 

[BGBW]

So to those who don't like this design, what kind of design would you rather see? Just curious tbh

 

[Catdaddy]

So - he’s a millennial, I guess we’ll have to do everything for him.

 

[Principate]

I aint playing no nerd.

But we're all nerds to some respect.

 

[Samimista]

Eh . . . I'm not really feeling it. =/

 

[Psyrgery ES]

That design is the mehstest design I've ever seen

 

[Acquiescence]

I laughed my ass off at this.

 

[Principate]

Can you imagine the reaction to that, entertaining for days, hahaha

 

[bananafactory]

I am 28. I do not know anyone who looks or dresses like this

The rest of you must live in a different world

Well your 28 no wonder.

 

[WillyFive]

Can't wait to play as JJ Abrams.

 

[ezekial45]

Would you all feel better if he wore a long trench coat with a variety of sweaters/hoodies underneath?

This character looks fine to me. I've plenty of people where stuff like this in Cali.

 

[protomouse]

Why do every Ubi protagonist have a sling bag? Serious question.

They really like 24.

Must be because the only that's out of place on that design is the bandana. Really don't see what the big deal is especially all the stupid hipster comments.

 

[UnrealEck]

He looks Asian-American. If so, good. At least not generic white dude.

Are you saying being a white dude is generic or something? Because that's the only thing you mention here. Race.
This character looks just like Aiden. Just an average Joe from round the block.

 

[Hip Hop]

This hipster looking ass, of course because it takes place in San Fran.

Was hoping for someone tough looking this time around, it's gonna feel so out of place doing all this shooting. Aiden didn't fit that either.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Too much like real life!

Since when did people think of tough guys, when they hear the word super hacker.

 

[GHG]

Why is this even important in an open world game like watchdogs? In games like this you pretty much have the freedom to play how you want anyway.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Meh, don't really like the glasses, and the baseball cap seems pretty big. Looks to me a like a mix between Justin Bieber and a hipster. The rest is ok I guess, would be cool if we can personalise him a bit. The most important part is also probably his personality in game.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Im a jock irl.

 

[studyguy]

Looks like a generic dude out of The Division.

'Super Hacker'

...

with a .45 caliber.

You are either e-tuff or tough, you can't be both. It will mess with the space time continuum otherwise.

We can tell from your avatar.

You don't know anyone who wears a jacket and jeans?
:^|

 

[Menitta]

I'd like that. Granted in a way to fit the art style.

I'm wearing a freaking Fatal Fury hat right now, so I have nothing to add.

But this is America, I though everyone had guns, Hell I saw guns for kids!

I want him to be a professional MOBA player by day and a MeGA HAXXOR by night

Do you think 20 year olds still dress like this?

 

[Principate]

Your on a video game enthusiast message board, that's slightly nerdy.

 

[Staf]

Damn, that's way too iconic for me.

Spoiler

Iconis is codeword for shit right?

 

[Doc_Drop]

You seem very invested in this. You ok?

You seem to be very invested in shitposting. You ok?

Anyway

people, offer an actual idea of what you're after. I get people are in here for some fun fuckery but without criticism other than proclaiming Hipster or some such shit it all seems so smugly self-satisfying. I mean I'm happy to say I thought the Aiden Pearce design was bad, this seems better, more grounded in actual reality, and has the added bonus of having a PoC casting without any racial stereotype hangups. I can step out to a bar in my city and from the walk into town to the bar area I'll see a dozen or so people look like this or some variant. And I live in fucking Nottingham haha

 

[DeepEnigma]

All them CQC little tyrants.

 

[Kaizer]

He looks like a black guy who was raised in a white suburban neighborhood now attempting to look like a gangbanger from the ghetto using clothes bought from Wallmart.

At least he isn't generic angsty white dude #47, but this isn't really an improvement.

Was that really necessary? The fuck.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

When 99% of video game characters are brunette white dudes, sorry, but they're considered "generic"

 

[Principate]

Lmao, yo that's fucked up...

 

[bananafactory]

You don't know anyone who wears a jacket and jeans?
:^|

It's not as much the specific clothing as it is his general look/vibe

Like, the jacket is fine but who the hell rolls up the sleeves on a a jacket?

 

[Bright-Light]

I think he looks okay. Not sure why people hate it so much.
I think we will have customisable wardrobe too, maybe similar to Division.
I also like the fact he seems very young, it is rare these days to have a young protag in a AAA game with guns.

 

[Strike]

I just hope the game and its story are better.

 

[Menitta]

Lmao, yo that's fucked up...

I don't know. Scarborough Fair is beautiful.

 

[DrakeNathan]

expect this one has more character than aiden,and the developing film could be asia setting?

 

[Quonny]

Don't be difficult.

When a grand majority of games have white, male protagonists, anything different is a breath of fresh air, even if it shouldn't be.

 

[DNAbro]

We already know it's located in San Francisco

 

[AgentOtaku]

Damn this thread is gold! Lol

 

[Menitta]

SanFran is cool for this type of game, but I wish it was in Baltimore. As someone who goes to University of Maryland, that would be interesting to me.

 

[Hip Hop]

Jordi would have been a nice protag tbh

 

[Zaventem]

They managed to make the main look even worse.
