One thing that drags down the entire game for you

lol i dont think anyone's "afraid" dog, trans ppl exist and there's nothing wrong with devs acknowledging the fact that different body types don't inherently map to a male/female dichotomy.

Wow how did you know my Chinese Zodiac type is "dog"? lolol

You mix up "trans" with "non-binary". There is a huge difference, son. Now GTFO lol.

If I may, I've always thought calling body types Masculine and Feminine would work better with a slider for an optional bust size. Sure it'd be more work but it would allow people to create who they want to create while giving people the identity they want in the process.

-Walky-talky segments

Gears of war 1-3 gets a pass because those are short and the gameplay is fun for me subjectively . But i still hate those . And when suddenly God of War 2018 had it , i instantly hate the game , its sequel and especially the walky-talky segments .

-Interesting and fleshed out mechanics , underdeveloped levels for it

Often there are games that have great mechanics that i hoped that have enough content for it and gives the level-design depth but way too often i get dissapointed that you only can hack 3 computers , lockpick 2 doors and climbed 1 specific wall in the whole game .

Its like with Battletoads in Battlemaniacs . You got 2 beat'em up stages and the gameplay for it is awesome . Maybe abusable if you know how to one hit every enemy but it had alot cool moves and their uses .
Rest of it is a mini-game collection of the sadistic kind .

I played an rpg a while back, it may have been Last Bible 3 for snes, and every time you'd press the action button to inspect what you're looking it would trigger dialogue even if nothing was there. So if you're walking around checking for items, every button press has the character say something like, "hmm guess there's nothing here". It got old very quickly.

-Whenever yellow or any other designated color means progression. Once you learn that you can't unsee it

-The new "loading" with it being a tiny walk between a crevice

Instead what would work better is from the start choosing "male", "female" or "non-binary". Not everyone is non-binary and I care a lot that my character having the male sex. For me choosing body types are not satisfactory. A person may look like a male but that doesn't mean they will be a male. So many women look like a male yet they are a female and vice versa. Sex shouldn't be reduced to how people look like. It's very offensive. Breast size doesn't mean shit, tons of women without any apparent breasts are female alright. You cannot call people "male" by judging their bust size. These are why body types and whatnot is stupid.

When character creation is not properly implemented the Arc Raider situation happens. You cannot choose sex, instead voice of your character determines your sex. You pick a male body and male face but in the game your character screams as a woman and you learn the male body you picked wasn't enough and the male face was actually a woman face. What a stupid shit. I imagine people who suffers from gender dysphoria would have tons of problems with such stupid way to create a character. It doesn't help trans people at all, whatever video game industry does regarding it only satisfies non-binary people. Even if I was a trans I would like to select between a male or female in the way I can be sure of instead of body type, face type and voice type BS. This shit is really stupid.

There is a subset of players though that do want to have an in depth character creator to create themselves in the system. This same system usually also allows people to create complete monstrosities which allow people to just be goofy and have their own fun. I don't personally see harm in signifying a masculine starting point or feminine starting point because it would allow anyone inbetween, whether androgynous or transitioning to have as equal footing to those that want a traditional male/female setup.

I think Capcom's current character creator is prime example of this system working.
