old one was like that too. Stomps, brutish screams, ugly face, bizarre ending… that’s his personality, not “goofy” design". Is Sabrewulf goofy? Riptor?
It’s funny - the initial reaction to most things is hype. It takes a while for the salty dimwits to come out of the woodwork. But don’t worry, they will appear.
I was always pretty indifferent to Eyedol. The only thing about him I liked was that he was better than Gargos. I am neither very happy nor very unhappy that he is the 8th character. I like the design because it’s interesting although I wouldn’t say I was over the moon about it. But I’m not someone who expects to be over the moon about every character in the game.
I will be very interested to see how he plays.

Sorry for the double post. ON the subject of goofy, I don’t think we really need to have a semantic debate about it. Eyedol worked as a boss in KI 1 when the final character was an unplayable (without a cheat code) quarter stealing murder monster. He was not serious, because KI wasn’t a serious game - it was dark but over the top in a “just for fun” kind of way. But he wasn’t “goofy” like a Disney giant. What was goofy about him was the idea of having a Harryhausen monster movie monster in a fighting tournament (goofy is not necessarily the opposite of awesome, by the way). Even in the context of KI 1 he doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the cast or the overall aesthetic of the game. Of course, this can also be said about Goro and Shang Tsung from MK 1, so it was kind of a thing at the time. Without the final boss, cheating, money stealing scariness the idea seems goofy to many, including me.
I also think you can make the case that this Eyedol is goofy - but not more goofy than the rest of the game. So however you view KI, I think the new Eyedol fits right in.

So having a belly on an Orc style character is comically overweight? Sounds to me like you are just way to serious, there’s nothing wrong with the way he behaves.
I personally liked the design the guy was dead for how many years. If we don’t like it we can always get the classic costume.
Going to be honest, kinda preferring the new design…yeah definitely preferring the new design.

I prefer the retro, I know it doesn’t look as detailed and cool but I still love it.

I mean it’s classic, that’s about it, but I really like the creativity on the head. How one head is technically “two heads”. That’s interesting.
Yeah I really do love the new design too, one of the first times I actually enjoy both costumes on a character. The new one is an awesome way to bring the character into the next generation but the classic just holds a special spot in my heart.
Eh, don’t mind me it’s just memories of getting that last KI classic achievement making me bitter.

I am a eyedol fan and I love it. He is goofy and scary at the same time, which is exactly the image I have of him. Ig did not ■■■■■ this time.
Not really a fan of his retro, especially when in motion. Looks so top-heavy and disproportional compared to the other characters.
My thoughts:
Eyedol looks pretty good. He looks more like an ogre of sorts. And I really like the head being split in half motif. Makes up for not having two heads (probably due to technical issues when making a character).
My only con is that they should’ve given him a better looking (and bigger) club.
Saw his retro. Looks awesome with two heads, same issue with the club.
That’s it!
Which saddens me. This zooming out is worse than level 4 Enders to me. I was able to avoid Aganos for the most part, but after Gargos and RAAM I have been taking a step back. Great characters, but like I sometimes say, I don’t want to have the feeling that I’m playing a side scrolling game when my regular sized character looks small on screen.
Still I don’t hear this complaint often so I guess I have to get over it or “move on”, lol.
I wish that too. Or make huge characters look huge rather than normal.
I have to say I am pleased with Eyedol’s design. I figured the devs would make a character most just dismiss as goofy to look badass!
That GIF is meme material XD
praise for it! I dont care about life bar eclipse!! I dont like the zooming screen too!
I saw that one part of the video and I said this just has to be made. It’s too good.
