Starting up MEPC again. Hopefully the new RAM along with the patch helps my frame rate issues. Here is my Shepherd!

I had to turn AA off when fraps was running, so the graphics are a bit low. ;(

Well, I borrowed a copy of Crysis from a friend and found I could run it on a mixture of medium, high, and very high settings - still I drastically reduced the screen size and quality when running FRAPS (I'll have a video of the shark massacre up shortly). Anyways, I have decided that hunting sharks is the single highlight of the game, and thus I am very glad I did not buy a copy of it - although I might if I ever saw it for under $10. :ermm:

After all the punching in the beginning, the video disappointed. I kept waiting for you to jump in and take on the sharks with your bare hands. :ermm:

The punching was just to get the boat into position, it's really a prop that has no motor -any of the "real" boats would be fired at by the destroyers- and you have to either shoot one end of it or punch it out to sea. The sharks are really nothing more than a semi-clever way to prevent people from hitting the level's invisible wall while swimming; I was using an exploit to hunt them. ;)

You didn't like the tank battle and the moutian exploding? I though there was pretty good visceral intensity to that section.

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.

Not really, I thought those parts were well done but nothing out of the ordinary. ;)

Sorry guys, the profanity thing *does* apply to pictures.

 

Give them the black ink treatment in MS Paint or whatever next time?

Amazing flying mount chase scene!

 

Also, WoW is beatiful when it wants to.

If you say so, it still looked way too cartoon-like and colorful for my tastes... o:)

They should redo the graphics engine of the game to be more gritty, more realistic, in its presentation. Something like Mass Effect or Half Life 2.

I really hope that's sarcasm.

 

People who complain about the WoW art style remind me of someone who would argue that Monet should try harder to paint like Van Gogh. Not everything needs to be gritty.

From a technical standpoint WoW's graphics are amazing. They look good on a computer that is 10 years old. And I have always liked the style, WoW is supposed to be cartoony and over the top, depends on your taste I guess.

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

Fear my vile magic user, for she has sold her soul to a demon! :sorcerer:

 

 

What game is that anyway?

I just think that cartoony graphics is on the lame side on the coolness scale.
