What the fuck does anything have to do with Vietnam?

Like what else?

As I wrote in the last sentence, it was just an association.

I am playing a role 🤷

Nope I was just referencing the interview with Joe Biden where he said “the important thing is that I gave it my best. This is what this is about.”

No dude, that isn’t the point what so ever.

Where I read here that changing the engine “would be better, but that is not the point”.

Yes dude that is the point.

For me the parallel was that people could improve the process but don’t because of ego/comfort/not understanding the problem.

Wasn’t a jab at Biden just an association on my part.

Agree. The thing with realistic graphics is that it brings in soooo much complexity on a systems level that it becomes the center point everything else revolves around.

Imaging a 2d game vs a 3d game. Alone trough that you have a complete third dimension wich you have to account for.

A whole book full of new bugs are possible now.

And with realistic graphics the brain now expects the rules of the world to be realistic too.

My character looks photorealistic so, of course, the environment needs to look photorealistic too otherwise we go into uncanny valley territory.

So next thing the interaction needs to look realistic too. Think walking trough a forrest and the player character pushing leaves out of his way.

That is just to fucking much you need to test and invest time in to be flexible anymore.

The simple answer here is better art direction. Photorealism is neat but not needed.

With simpler graphics it becomes cheaper to change stuff in development so it becomes more viable to experiment with creative ideas.

You can have more diverse assets because they are, potentially, cheaper/less time consuming to make and they don’t take as much space.

Like 1 photorealistic tree needs as much discspace as 2 trees with half the polygons.

In the and gaming has become a business and people got involved that don’t play games.

For them it is just an investment and no different to a car or a garden hose. And for those people the only viable way to solve a problem is to trow money at it.

Which worked but only for making things grander not making it more interesting. For that you need people that solve problems with creativity.

And you get people who solve problems with creativity when there is less money because you have no other choice but to solve it like that.

That is clearly not the whole picture but a part of it IMHO.

I think at this point, if you are a gaming enthusiasts and are informed about the “scene” there is just no reason to buy AAA(AAAAAAA) games anymore.

And also no need to be angry about it. Just ignore them and talk about the indies that made a change. It is more productive to have that dominate the conversation than what sucks.

Because talking about shit is still advertisement for shit.

Yepp it’s about Biden doing his best. That is what this is about.

“Yo dawg I put this baby in a car on an outdoor street in front of a monster chicken and then I put all that into another car so you can wonder what the fuck is going on.”

At this point destroy the paintings for real. Not to demonstrate against oil or climate stuff but to demonstrate against the sentencing. Not “just stop oil” but “stop unjust jail time”

We do.

Improve the netcode, put it on steam and it will be fine.

If they improve netcode and hitreg that game will be awesome. Fast respawns, fast rounds, shooting feels good. It is fun if you don’t want to commite alot.

This big ass pen certainly is.

They make decent stuff for an impressive price.

It cost $20 but what you buy for it is free? That are mental gymnastics on a dangerous level.

You buy the stuff for 20 it is not free if you pay money for it.

People sounding like advertisements nowadays.

That is uncalled for.

COD = cunt overdose

The shape his mouth makes is the same shape his neck makes two times.

I see Photoshop potential.

I dig the butt.

The rule of the rings: The greater one is invested in Tolkien, the lesser one likes works that stray away from Tolkien.

That explains every review of every Tolkien adaptation. It’s quite logical if you think about it.
