Why is "Fully Armoured, Face Covered By Helmet Guy" the protagonist in every action game now?

Sounds like nothing can please you OP

>>338187969

At least the last few Call of Duty games have featured it too. Stupid dumbfuck

it was optional in Blops 3 and AW had no helmet

>>338187851
Because woman can pretend there's a woman under the armor, blacks can pretend there's a black man under the armor, mexicans can pretend there's a mustache under that helmet and there's often no bulge at sight so Asian market is also represented.

Because it's cool as fuck.
I love overkill armours.
Picture related.

>>338188280
No not really
But keep trying

>Why is the character that's had full armor and a face covered by a helmet for 20 years have full armor and a face covered by a helmet now?

What do you want, a Jojo character?
>>
I think the problem is that this game has the most generic cover in existence.

It's always A GUY LOOKING AT OR AWAY FROM THE COVER!

FUCK!

yeah this should have been the official cover not the alt
>>
>>338188429

I'm a Mexican and I can't grow facial hair. But what about a sombrero? Do you think there's a sombrero under the helmet? And a poncho? A space poncho would be great.

You know self-interest characters have been a thing for a long fucking time, right? Like longer than you've been alive.

Mass Effect had some god tier armour design.

>>338188539
They did it to attract the normies. The alt cover you can flip over is for the true Doom fans. Seems like a fair compromise to me

Why do you want stupid and ugly unrelatable shit like characters with faces when you can have badass faceless grunt of death and murder.

I'll pick a faceless/helmeted character over face any time of the day, always have, always will.
>>
Armored and helmeted characters aren't the problem, it's that the designs are all generic as fuck.

sounds like nothing will make you happy
