Video: Latest OlliOlli World Trailer Shows Off Copious Character Customisation Options

This looks really fun! Hope the actual gameplay is as fun as the customization 🤞🏼

Is it weird that I don't like customization in games? Things like create-a-character seem to be a big selling point for a lot of people. But all the choices seem so pointless when I just want to play the game.

EDIT:
@sanderev I think having too many choices stresses me out.
I already spend too much time deciding which games to buy or not. Don't also make me decide what I'm going to look like in the game😄

@sketchturner Why don't you like it? It's great that you can be whoever you want to be in a game. I think all games should have it.

Does anyone else get turned off when someone calls their own game a 'bold new [whatever]'?

@sketchturner I’m in the same boat. Stories are a big thing for me in games and in my experience creating your own character has always been detrimental to the story as they need to take into account various possibilities and outcomes; plus makes conversations with NPCs feel stilted.

I prefer to experience a story rather than create one. That’s why I read books, not write them.

@FX102A to be fair that doesn't really work with skateboarding games like this and THPS, not much story exactly to be had

For me, create-a-character has often made the difference when it comes to my interest in a game. Maybe it's because I spend tons of time creating my own characters for creative projects. I will play a game that has pre-designed characters, but oftentimes I have shied away from a game because the character designs didn't do it for me. Being able to make my own and having gameplay that interests me just makes it that more likely I'll check the game out.

I love customization. I have a lot of fun alone on creating characters or environments in games. I get the criticism in more narrative driven games but it's a feature that's an absolute joy in most all other games.

@FX102A if video games had more characters who were not white as main characters then maybe customisation would not be needed. Facts are though that it's still a "white is right" character driven industry.

@sketchturner It's a combination of choice paralysis and fear of missing out. I have it too and much prefer linear, story based progression with pre-designed characters (it's why I love Zelda so much).

I have nothing against character creation for those that want it. Just give me a good default character model with a decent name and I'm happy. The Mass Effect series is a good example of this. Character creation is there, or you can just choose the well designed stock Captain Shepherd. Everyone is a winner.

@Jey887
I’ll agree and add Divinity: Original Sin II to “how to do it right.” The customization was fairly staggering when you begin the game (I had 1 hour invested before actually ‘starting’), so it was nice to see pre-load/build options for those (me) finding themselves oddly stressed out by such a wonderful, comprehensive feature.
