Games which should have character customisation

[joemegson94]

Which games do you think should have character creation/customisation, and why?

Personally, I think if there is ever a Left 4 Dead 3, this should be an option. You could play the game with friends and watch you and them fighting off zombies. Alternatively, you could create celebrities or characters from other things, for a laugh.

I can't think of any thing that needs CC that doesn't, but i say that mmos need more/better customization =)

I think Gears of War 3 should, just for fun on multiplayer.

DJ hero could do with it, but thats just a personal peeve as I don't like the looks of any of the premade DJ's, even the ones based on real life DJ's

Try the Champion creator in Champions Online. That creator is absolutely ridiculous.

OT: I agree with the OP. Left 4 Dead should include a character creator, so you may place yourself in a survivors position. That way, when the imminent zombie apocalypse comes, you are more prepared than ever for what to do, seeing as how you have done it, multiple times.

That's actually a really cool idea. I would do what I did in Guitar Hero: make the cast of Metalocalypse and put them through the zombie-fest (well, almost all of them. I guess I can come up with a reason for all of them to sit out one round)

As for something original...how about Final Fantasy? If Final Fantasy I was to ever be re-made I think it would be priority 1 to allow full character customization. The original FF1 was about Fighter, W-Mage, B-Mage and, Rouge saving the world. The re-make should allow you to make, from scratch, your entire 4-party team. All female humans? Awesome! 1 human, 1 Mog and, 2 Burmecians? Groovy! 4 Moogles? The Best.

I'd also like to see a Harry Potter themed MMO in which you are your own Hogwarts student. This game would have to take place either before Harry's enrollment or, in his early years so as to keep your character from out-Harrying Harry. An MMO based around Discworld would also be great: Human, Troll, Dwarf, Wizard, Orangutan (well, maybe not that). I mention Discworld and Harry Potter because both have and, had games but you were always a well-known character(s).

Pokemon would be a good one too. Not any character customization in those except for your name...

One more: Halo. Why bother choosing that I prefer playing as a Shangheli if they never let me play as one? It's cool that I can change my armor in Reach but I want to play as anything but a human when I'm on live. Humans, no matter how super or, mechanically/biologically enhanced, bore the crap out of me (at least they do in Sci-Fi and Fantasy settings).
