Slowtrain Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Talking 'bout S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Get out of there, Stalker! lol. That reminds me of the couple of times I've seen guards in Oblivion running around in the treetops. I keep meaning to grab a screenie, but I'm always so taken aback by looking at a guard floating 20 meters in the air that I forget. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Meshugger Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) CrashGirl: I can highly recommend the "Realism Graphics"-mod, that can be found here. My performance got even better with this mod. Apparently, there has been some serious tweaking done on the shaders.

Slowtrain Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 That looks pretty cool, Meshugger. I'll download it and gave it a go. Thank you.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Why aren't they rushing you all at once, or, if they are, why are they doing such a bad job? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Moatilliatta Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Because that would make it too hard? Also Bok, your screens make my crappy laptop crawl past them. Keep up the good work.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Because that would make it too hard? And more interesting. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Moatilliatta Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Dying isn't interesting. I actually think Sawyer talked cleverly about this at some point in a thread i.e. some devs make the AI go easier on the player when in groups to make it fun because melee is hard to do properly in groups otherwise or something like that. Edit: Not that I know anything about A's C, I'm just talking out of my arse. Edited April 26, 2008 by Moatilliatta

Magnum Opus Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Heh... maybe it's just be me and my lack of experience with Next-Gen titles (which it completely nonexistant), or maybe it's that these are still shots of a live action experience, but the first thing I thought when looking at those Assassin's Creed pictures was "Is that man supposed to be glowing like that?" The second was "Clones!" *sigh* All that hardware, all those nice-looking graphics, and that's what I come up with? Still, I suppose it's promising that my immediate reaction related more to the scene being shown, instead of the things like pixel/polygon count. If those shots and my reaction to them are a reliable indicator, the graphics of today's games are firmly in the "uncanny valley" stage of development for me. They do look good, though.

Shryke Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Kids should be taught the hard lessons in life at an early age. hehe that always makes me laugh i really should do an evil playthrough at one point hmm... flamethrower, rocket launcher, and super cattle prod sounds like a nice choice weapon-wise when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Enoch Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) From the latter stages of a Civ4:BTS "One City Challenge." It's amazing how productive one city can be when it has 9 settled great people in it. Playing as Frederick of the Germans on "Prince" level. I usually play Monarch, but OCCs are hard. I suppose I'll be going for a space race win in this one, if I decide that it's worth finishing.

That's one pretty damn well developed city. Managed to snag a lot of wonders too. Industrious leader + Stone next to the Capitol + OCC = Wonderspam. I'm not normally much of a wonder builder (in non-OCCs, you're usually better off using the hammers on expansion), but I play the hand I'm dealt. The hard part of this game was surviving the ancient/classical/medieval ages with no copper or iron. OCCs really help to teach you the ins and outs of manipulating the AI in diplomacy.

samm Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 It's just the poor quality of ingame graphics selected for the screenshot. It actually looks different and imo a lot prettier. Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
