This whole insane argument started with bionic saying that EA has terrible artists in relation to the new mass effect game. So I think it is relevant that realistic environments are more difficult for videogames to portray.

I would say that something like this:

is more impressive artistically then something like this:

Art is subjective, friend.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I just searched botw environment. Does it really not look like that?

It looks like that if you took it to photoshop and used the smudge tool everywhere. That screenshot actually looks like what it looks like if you have it in portable mode, at the very best. It's much more crisp on my TV.

Art is subjective, friend.

You do realize that the new Mass Effect is on PC, and PS4 as well, right? I could see if I was arguing for some Xbox exclusive but ME games are multiplatform.

 

[Bread]

yankee, do you think madden 17's art style is more impressive than wind waker's

 

[Hindl]

I just searched botw environment. Does it really not look like that?

It can look like that, but that's mostly due to weather effects. There's a lot of haze in the game which sometimes makes it look really flat. But other times it looks incredible. Like this for example

Are you feeling alright today? I have never in my life seen anyone hold up yearly sports games as an example of great art in videogames. Breads gonna find himself out of the boners club at this rate.

Ain't no one playing that janky shit when they could be playing Horizon or any of the billion games on PC.

Yeah when it is raining or foggy it does detract from the visuals. There are a lot of weather effects too.

 

[bionic77]

Art is subjective, friend.

Taste is subjective.

I don't agree that art is.

Yankee sorry you picked a bad example of Mass Effect. Please give us some other examples of what you feel to be great art in a game so I can continue to respect your opinion on art because you seem to be a good person otherwise.

 

[Hindl]

I actually love the look of the game when it's raining/storming at night. They nailed the feel of being outside in the rain with that stuff going on, and the flashes when lightning strikes are really good. It doesn't look top-notch, but really evokes the atmosphere the game should have when there's a thunderstorm outside

You honestly dont think that the pics I posted are examples of good art? This is an elaborate troll, right?

Honestly no I did not find the art to be amazing in that picture.

The more I talk to people around this, the more obvious it becomes: Jerry Jones is driving every bit of this...

As I said yesterday, through his marketing company--Legends--Jones will have some sway over the Rams, Chargers, 49ers and Raiders...

Legends will handle suites and sponsorships for the Las Vegas stadium, including potentially the largest naming rights deal ever...

It is estimated that Legends/Jones' take from the combined Rams/Chargers/49ers/Raiders new stadium activity: Hundreds of millions.

Most remarkable thing (to me) is Jones/Legends will get hundreds of millions of out this, while taking none of the financial risk.

How is this type of shit allowed? Are the rest of the league owners that spineless?

 

[yankeehater]

To each their own then I guess. Thankfully the Trumps/Pats fans have not taken away our freedoms yet.

 

[levious]

I have never seen mass effect games as artistically impressive. Tech is impressive though.

Journey is a game that I saw as both. Pixel Junk Eden I think is a good example of aristically impressive with simplistic graphics.

He isn't THAT bad. I mean, you probably can't even name one thing bad he has done so far. Just name one!

I'm going to drop my phone into a toliet and come back later.

I have to limit it to just 1? Fuck you are right I cant do that.

Maybe YH will actually buy the whole game and not half this time

LOL, I am not going to buy all the DLC for a game like that ever. Sorry buddy.

 

[MechDX]

LOL, I am not going to buy all the DLC for a game like that ever. Sorry buddy.

Yeah it isnt like their was a "complete collection" to buy when you bought just half....

FRS NFLWhich QBs in the 2017 NFL Draft are most likely to succeed?

Wow. Only 3 QB's in this draft are considered "gold" level. Tribusky, Kayaa and Jerod Evans.

Every Super Bowl-winning starting QB drafted since 1983 has been a Gold passer. There has never been an All-Pro Bronze QB in the SEMTEX era.

 

[yankeehater]

I bought Destiny at launch. I only bought it because I loved Halo so much and I was curious to see what Bungie would do next. I was not going to pay extra for an unknown game, and it was the right decision since that game was not good for a long time. Thankfully they have righted the ship and it feels like a much better game now. I was really close to buying rise of iron but I didnt due to ME coming out so close and knowing that I wont play any other game for a long time now. I hope that Destiny 2 launches much better then Destiny 1, but I do worry about extra content in a game like that.

 

[bionic77]

Journey is a game that I saw as both. Pixel Junk Eden I think is a good example of aristically impressive with simplistic graphics.

I think the two thing I admire most in visuals are consistency and then vision for the world they are trying to create.

When shit is just glued together it can take you out of a game.

smh at this disrespect

Asked about Washington replay proposal, @NFL owner whispered to me, "It has a better chance because it's not coming from the @Patriots."

Great owner

 

[Fantomex]

Switch out for delivery! Zelda in my work backpack. Getting serviced during lunch break if it gets here in time.

Welcome to the servicing friend.

zelda looks like a fuckin painting lmao ea has nothing on that

One of the few times I'll agree with you Bread.

This whole insane argument started with bionic saying that EA has terrible artists in relation to the new mass effect game. So I think it is relevant that realistic environments are more difficult for videogames to portray.

Yankee. I see where you're going. But you have to understand my friend. Nebulas and Hazes have been done since Mass Effect 1. I know that doesn't take away that they're good looking, but I can't be impressed 10 years after just because they added more effects to the same formula.

Here is Mass Effect 1.

Followed by Mass Effect 3

It's the same thing.


Here is Windwaker

Here is BOTW

The biggest counter to your point is that with ME it's all fluff. I can't physically go to those nebulas or those far and distant spaceships. In Zelda, I just set a wayward point and I can actually physically go to that location. It actually exists. It's not just a High Resolution texture that's been wrapped in my draw distance field for looks.

 

[Mindlog]

I thought the post-servicing era was about abandoning this silly fuckery smh.

So basically you can still get Brady or ...... Dilfer.

Hey Myles can you tell me a random dinosaur fact 🤔

@ColdCheddaa the velociraptor that(Jurassic Park) were "using" originates from Mongolia, while the raptor that was actually used is from U.S

Why the hell would the Fins oppose it?

I blame Trejo

Chris Trejo told them to.

There's an art argument and Mass Effect is the focus? Pfft.

Horizon is mind blowing. Artistically, technically, etc. I'm 40 hours in and it's everything I can do to force myself not to play during the week while I work.

Stephen Ross ends up looking like a Schmuck. He has a lot of Real Estate pull in Vegas. So basically he was just hating.

Or he isnt happy with Jerruh and his sudden making 100's of millions more than other teams

 

[Fitts]

Welp, that's that.

When is the autobiography of Trejo where he explains all of life's mystery.

 

[Bread]

suck it chang

Soon as mech gives trejo a typewriter or even a notepad

Good for the Raider team. I can't imagine they would be upset about this.

I also thought Mass Effect was a very weird game to argue about art.

We already mentioned Horizon, which from what I have seen might have the best graphics for any game ever made.

That said you don't really know what servicing is playing Horizon. That is the best looking game but Zelda fucking steals your soul and you may never get it back.

 

[MechDX]

Good for the Raider team. I can't imagine they would be upset about this.

Fans should be livid. I dont EVER like to see an entrenched team just leave.

Its bullshit

Except for Chang. Fuck him

Yeah it's probably the best looking game ever assuming you discount shit running on $4000+ PCs

Oh the fans? No doubt it sucks for them. I'd be pissed.

I'm REALLY not sold on staying in Oakland, that was a mess with the Oilers. With that said, Viva Las Vegas!!!
