No, I don't care about your replies anymore. You have no common sense, no brain, and you're not even funny.
I've had it with your idiocy. Give me your address and I'll send you plane tickets so we can settle this like the savage you are.
Oooh, but you won't say yes, I know. You're too much of a pussy to face me in fisticuffs.
I live in Cumberland, RI. If you are buying me a ticket please have the flight leave from TF Green, its closer than logan. And if I'm flying wouldn't I need your address instead of vice versa. I can find my house without flying anywhere. But if you want it I guess I can pm you with it.
Let me articulate why you are a graphics whore and why graphic whores are so bad.
Since about 94-96, graphics have improved as the gameplay of rpg’s has suffered. People decided to stop valueing gameplay/game mechanics and judge a game’s worth based upon the superficial. Aesthetics. Nonsense when applied to an interactive activity. A great football game is a great football game whether not its viewed on a huge HDTV in HD or on a 9 inch fuzzy black and white. One way of viewing it might be more enjoyable aesthetically, but has no impact on how good of a football game was viewed. And football games aren't even interactive.
You have posted in many threads knocking the graphics of games that never tried to have the best graphics, perpetuating the common notion that games do not push the envelope graphically aren’t worth the hard drive space. I like, and appreciate games for being games and providing good gameplay. Big fancy graphic developers do not make the games I like. They are made by people that do not have the resources to poor into graphics, and having the finest “art†and graphics was never a goal of theirs.
You say Avernum is the only game or series you passed up due to graphics. I call bullshit. Avernum’s graphics are light years beyond wizardy 1’s, and even 6’s. You probably passed up countless games that were fantastic due to a bitch reason that you help perpetuate with your bitch comments. Hurting the sales of those games I like, and creating this myth that unless you can have great graphics you shouldn’t even attempt to make a game, which hurts my future chances of playing games.
Take this thread for example, 2 college students are making a game as a school project. Neither are artists, and the graphics are early. This was all explained in the first post. Yet you, like the bitch you are, have to throw in your graphics whore comments when they are unneeded, unwanted, and uncalled for. With your little gay graphic whore buddies chiming in. Look at the spiderweb thread. What useful bit of insight to you provide besides that the graphics suck? Nothing. Spiderweb has explained why the graphics suck, and anyone that isn’t a graphic whore can play and enjoy a game that has serviceable graphics.
Also, this notion of tying graphics with a game's worth hurts indie developers chance to be profitable and make new games. People will say, “I will play it, but it isn’t worth $28, its only worth $15 or so.†Or pirate it. You might not be able to express that thought in your head, but that thinking has a huge disparate impact on how people view and value indie games, and leads to disparate treatment of those games.
Not only are you a graphics whore who is directly responsible for the ongoing dick that the rpg community has been shoving deeper in my ass for years, you are also a pansy bitch who I will smack the shit of with the head of my penis. I’ll put you in the hospital and the visit you and pee in your IV. You’ll have my urine coursing through your veins. I’ll pee in your nose also, orin your mouth and make you laugh and spit it out your nose. Either way your nasals will be drenched in my piss. Fucking graphic whore.
