I think it'd be a total shock if a made up character looked like any of us...
So would the general public, yikes. It'd be X-rated (the X for eXcuse me while I vomit).
Here's the thing though - I'm not talking "identical".
All I wanted was a stocky white guy with a beard. That's pretty damn basic. Body size, ethnicity, beard.
I'm not even bothered about the
face looking anything like mine.
The closest character I could pick was a short-arse clean-shaven white guy who doesn't represent anything about me other than my ethnicity.
So every time the camera goes to him,
every time, it takes me out of the experience because it's such a stark reminder that you're playing a video game.
It's like being sucked into a really entertaining 1-1 draw, working your arse off to keep the ball and move slowly up the pitch, then suddenly the commentator says "just to remind you, this isn't real, this is just a game". Oh. Thanks. That took me out of the moment, Jim.
So can we at least call our manager by our own desired name? Or do I have to stick with the stupid sounding Konami ones?
Surely we can use our own names...
EDIT: Hm, Emroth's posted a screenshot where the guy hasn't changed Maradona's name so... Who knows.
