This concept should not exist

Concept: Cute Character

Putting an adjective next to the word "character" doesn't make a concept, if that were so then there would be a concept for each adjective. I say this is deleted!

I approve of it going, it is way too subjective

Agreed that this should be deleted. This is all subjective anyway... Maybe I don't think Hello Kitty is cute at all! I know, behind that "cute" mask lies the real kitty...

"Maybe I don't think Hello Kitty is cute at all! I know, behind that "cute" mask lies the real kitty..."

Please put the name of the concept you're referring to in your post title when making a delete request - it makes it easier to keep track of everything.

That being said, my opinion is that this concept isn't really hurting anything by being in the database.  Add characters if you want, if you don't think a character is cute enough to be included, remove it.

There have only been like 37 points or something gained from this page altogether, so I really don't see the validity in the whole "point whoring" argument that people tend to use when asking for pages to be deleted.  Anyway it's just my opinion, we'll have to wait for Jeff or someone to chime in and say whether it should go or not.

I think it's a valid concept that only should be attached in few characters and games in the database, but it's really unnecessary.

I don't think the page in question is point farming, but it could lead to point farming. E.g. if this is acceptable, then "Ugly Character" is acceptable, and so is "beautiful character" etc. We'll end up with thousands of "*Insert Adjective Here* Character" pages.

And also, it's far to subjective.Thiscould be cute to one person, and this could be cute to another. You can take it to even more extremes. You could in theory end up with every character on the site on that page and it wouldn't be wrong, because cuteness is subjective.

And yet, the page is still there.

I also think it's too subjective. "Cute" isn't even a definative word.

I agree with it being subjective as well.  However, so are difficulty levels.  Should we delete that too?  I mean, you may think normal difficulty is fucking ridiculously hard, but I think that's extremely easy.  So...who is right?

A game may have different difficulty levels, like easy, normal, hard, but then again, there should be a "optional difficulty level concept" not an "easy difficulty level", so I guess yeah , those should be deleted as well."

"Let the point whores be whores. There are more important things."

I actually agree with Snail go onto the average game page and look at the concepts page, theres a hell of a lot of thing which really don't need to be there and it ends up with a lot of redundent things added to a game.  For example Gears 2 has AI, AI companions and AI bots, and that's without scrolling down!  There must be nearly a hundred concepts on that page and it just turns the page into a wall of concepts which just looks ugly to be honest.

I agree, just imagine how Nico Bellic will feel when we add him to the 'Angry European Character', i'm sure that he wouldn't want to be put into such a stereotypical role...

We're not getting any attention from the staff on this thread apparently... Should I PM someone?

Staff comes by occasionally. Just wait for it.

Sure, I just think that unnecessary concepts should be deleted, even though as you said it isn't hurting anything, it is unnecessary to the website and not relevant..."

No. The community is the essence of this website."

Yes an excellent addition there.

Man I just looked through GTA 4's concepts and I got a little angry 2bh.  Disc Streaming, Loading Screens and Xbox Live.  I'm not saying these things should be on the site but attaching them to things is pretty strange to me.  Those 3 things apply to every Xbox 360 game, would you attach them all to each of them?  Well you could, but you shouldn't.  

IMO, the concept page should be a description of what the concept is.  The concepts attached to a game should be a well chosen group of concepts that aren't necessarily unique to the game but at least stand out.  Like maybe satire, euphoria physics and emergent gameplay to GTA 4, but seriously Health is attached to nearly 1500 games.  Thats insane! Everybody knows what health is and that its featured in nearly every game

I actually talked to Jeff yesterday and we agreed it's too subjective and vague.  It'd open to other unnecessary things.  I meant to delete yesterday but got caught up in some other stuff.  I believe the page had good intentions but alas...

"I mean, when I say "It's really unnecessary", I'm trying to say... A character can be cute, beautiful, gorgeous, etc. (that's absolutely valid as a concept for the character in the video game, the design, the experience, etc.) but as a wiki/concept page is too vague and unnecessary, maybe the Animaniacs are too cute for you, but I don't know, maybe they're not really cute for someone.

OH MAN, Hello Kitty is too cute, I need a concept to tell to all the world about her beauty. What!?
Giantkitty as an encyclopedic catundoubtedly loves "Hello Kitty", and for some good reason he does those things.

I suppose that could be "vague or subjective." But find me a "necessary" page. What if someone takes it out? Will GB self destruct (we are talking necessary here)? There's really no such thing as a "necessary" page, so how can you really have unnecessary ones (they'd all be unnecessary)? Trivial maybe, but not unnecessary."

R.I.P Cute Character Concept Page!

>There are USEFUL pages and USELESS pages. This one was useless,

The only reason it was taken off was because of the subjectivity:

Someone wants to program  a game with cute characters and wants to research "what's out there"

All the 9 year old girls into that stuff

You can't remember a game/character, but remember it was cute
