Everyone always gushes over that Black Desert CC and says every game needs to be that good, but no one ever stops to actually think about it. Black Desert is a crappy game and people only know about it because of the CC. Now why is the CC awesome but the game itself is trash? Because they put more resources into the CC than the actual game.
There is a balance that must be struck.
Agreed.
I'll also point out that unless you are an artist or something a overly complex and detailed cc might work against you. The DAI cc was about at my limit for my artistic talent. I see the videos for this and think God I'd eff that up big time. I don't even know what the heck is going on half the time with highlighted areas.
Import face stuff seems simply enough on the users side. No idea how complex it is on the design side.
Side side note. The black desert cc had too strong of a anime vs realistic feel for me. Would the level of detail pan out in a different art style?
