VGA sucks? No way, man.... e.g. Albion, Arkania's, Jagged Alliance's,
Beholder's,
Simon The Sorcerer's, Raptor, and so, are cool in VGA and needs no SVGA,
or Warcraft - I like Warcraft far more than Warcraft 2(svga looks really
strange and wimpy, I mean artificial grafx, I don't know why but most of
svga gfx looks strange, not natural).
Hand painted graphics is far better than rendered ones, it's an art to
paint
cool. I do both hand-painting and rendering, so I know... there are only
a few
rendered gfx that could be called ART, and a lot of artificial crap.
What counts is gameplay and atmosphere and not fucked fx(gfx, sfx, etc)
at least for "hardcore, or grindcore" gamers, not for lamers.
One thing I really hate are movies in games - what a
barbedwire-to-the-eye!
(e.g. WC3-4, Crusader: No Regret..., GKnight 2 - what a shit compared to
the first part)
Another hated thing: games in windows(with the frames around, titlebar,
and
bloody hated uniform menus, aaaaa... where's the originality?)
I have a lot more to say (e.g. cooperative multiplay(rewlz) vs
deathmatch)
but is it a worth?
Would be interesting to hear opinions about this also from the
game-makers
themselves.
