why don't more games do this?
>>320269765
because that requires effort
>>320269765
It's extra work, adds nothing, and if it's a game where health is easy to come by; ultimately meaningless because players will barely notice.
>>320269765
this reminds me of that photo of that guys hand that got caught in a paper shredder
>>320269765
I feel like someone definitely drew this with the intention of fapping to it.
>>320269765
Because the 3rd Birthday is the worst game ever made.
>>320270047
It can help add character when there's not much of it.
Dota 2 does it and lots of the heroes feel more like individual characters through things like that. It's all the small things that make up a bigger picture.

NUNS 4 is going to do this with armor breaking.
The Punch-Out! games do this as well, and I think Mac shows some bruising in Smash as well.
>>320270115
Pretty sure it's softcore guro, as >>320270286 said; The stuff meant for fapping is the ones with Link impaled on spikes with his eyeball hanging out and shit

It appeals to your primal need to hunt a wounded animal, but with your penis and instead of an animal it's a boy, because this place has transformed you into a monster disguised by a thin membrane of the person you once were.
>>320271306
>transformed you into a monster disguised by a thin membrane of the person you once were.
I was always a monster
I don't know if it counts but the tomb raider reboot sorta did something like that, As you progressed through the game Lara's skin would get more and more cuts, her clothes and skin would become caked in crud and her clothes would also deteriorate somewhat.
It's probably the thing that stood out for me the most since the rest of the game was painful to dredge through.
>>320271109

Honestly, that feature is one of the small things that made the Wolverine Origins game worth playing through once. I don't know that I'd ever buy it, but walking up to enemy soldiers slowly as they teared away your skin with bullets, only to expose that spoopy adamantium skeleton... that was pretty great.
Sometimes the little things can really add so much to a game.
Doom did it first
everyone else is just copying Doom's legacy for having a damaged icon.

The Batman Arkham games did the same.
>>320272061
Wolfenstein did it too
I mean if were talking over the course of the entire game then some do (Spec Ops: The Line)
But frankly it would be weird if for instance you're playing LoZ and you get down to half a heart and Link looks like OPs pic and then the next room over you find two hearts and suddenly he looks 100% better and his clothes are all shiny and new and hes all good.
That shit is way too jarring.

Not the same but I liked how in Sands of Time the Prince's appearance got more wounded and beat up as the game progressed.
>>320278676
Don't care, it's still visible
>>320278650
That can work in games like Bayonetta where their cloths and armor aren't real but rather magically created.
It even makes sense that when they are exhausted and weak, they can't keep up projecting the armor while as they heal they fix up their appearance.

It adds polish and charm. Like the raindrops/steam/etc in Metroid Prime games. A little extra nuance that the devs though about to show they actually cared about the game.
>>320271484
>>320273229
Spec Ops: The Line is my favorite example of this.
The way everything changed as things became more dire, from how the characters looked, to how they gave orders during combat.
Before long, the protagonist's cold professionalism of finishing off a downed enemy devolves into the option of brutally beating his enemy's head in with repeated blunt force.
>>320271306
Hunt a wounded animal? The feeling it evokes in me is one of, "I want to make him feel better."
The BamHam games did this right. Batman eventually builds up armor and cape damage over the course of the game. By the end his outfit is torn to shit and he's covered in scrapes and bruises.
>>320279554
Yeah, but how frequently is that the case?
Also, never noticed. That's funny, considering I may have saved that from here (or Google, uninterestingly).
>>320280757
Thank you based organic armor
>>320269765
OP YOU SICK FUCK
>>320271109
He is not seriously life threatening hurt, just bruised so any thoughts of him being really in trouble are not valid. At the same time his pants are ripped so you can see just a bit of skin of his legs that in this picture by position and LENGHT compared to diameter can only be described as sexy, they are pretty short- but at the same time also very thin, that makes them look just like long women's legs, you can bet this is intentional, just like how you can then see the bulge. Also his mouth is open :3
>>320282201
>Yeah, but how frequently is that the case?
Rarely.
But it could be used neatly. You start your adventure in some shabby cloths. Once you finish the adventurer training, you come back home to prepare for your departure.
As you prepare, your old mother comes teary and tries to talk you out of it. When you keep insisting you have to go, she says how you remind her of your late father and to wait a moment. She goes away and come back with some old rusty armor that your father used.
You put it on and feel something.
During your adventure you fight many monster and enemies, gain strength and experience. With each battle your armor becomes better looking, more polished and better.
Every X levels it changes in style to reflect your power and gives you some skills.
I think it would be a nice idea. If a developer with more attention for detail did it, he might make the game track your playstyle and have the armor reflect that. Like if you're using mostly magic the armor will lose in physical defense but gain in magic. Also look will change to reflect a magician. Same for other play styles.
And obviously if you lose too much health the armor will lose the polish, gain rust, scratches, cloths will tear...
The Arkham games did this really well. Seeing Batman's outfit by the end of the game was really cool.
>>320269765
This picture makes me want to lovingly nurse Link back to health and make him feel betterand sniff his dirty ripped tights
>>320269765
Because it would look weird for a character to be banged up and bleeding profusely and magically have their wounds disappear with the simple sip of a health potion.
I can't tell if it's the dirt on his pants or if he peed himself.
>>320283628
Remember that your semen is a good source of protein, and he needs that to get better.

Look, of course it's a nice feature. But think about this for a second.
Games are already made under heavy time constraint, the people that work for them are underpaid and have to overwork just to get the deadline, and even then most of the time they'll fuck up and you'll get one day patches out of the ass just to get the main content working.
If it isn't non-essential, then this kind of polish would logically be worked on when you have the time for it, but most of the time you already have your hands full just completing the job in the first place.
Let me make a stupid analogy. Lets say you have to write an 100 page essay and your deadline is in 5 days, and you can do max 15 pages a day with your abilities. If you hand in this essay with any less than 100 pages, you will get massive shit from whoever expects that paper from you. Then somebody comes along and says "wouldn't it be nice if you dot every i with a heart?". Of course it would be nice and charming, but it would only slow you down even more.
>>320284969
To sum it up: polish is something that you add after you're done. There is no point in even thinking about polishing your car if the tires and engine is missing.

I'm not a guru-fag, but seeing snake all bandaged up and tired looking really does it for me.

Because in the age of health regen this doesn't happen for a noticeable period of time.
In Fable 1, your character gained scars every time he took damage. So the goal of the game was to rush the shield ability as quickly as possible so that your character would never get physically damaged and you finish the game without having a single scar on your bulking seven-foot tall 65 year old body.
