O shut up. Believe or not, there are people who don't know **** about PC hardware. That means we either buy a prebuilt setup(several times more expensive than building your own) or we pay someone to build us a machine(just as expensive as buying a prebuilt machine). And also, some of us prefer the convenience of playing on consoles to the potential hassle of having to troubleshoot a new PC title. Which falls into the too lazy to learn or do it despite being fully aware of the superiority.
Bay12 Robust Games (going to be really happy when I don't have to use byond because that engine is a complete pile of ****) Paradox Croteam Bohemia Interactive Fractal Games Egosoft Tripwire Interactive Can't really think of anyone else. The rest were either killed off by publishers' incompetence or sold out.
[QUOTE="Vangaurdius"]No, there is plenty of room for improvement. And games are far from photo-realistic unless your blind. You can have both amazing graphics and great gameplay. Where the problem lays is in terribly outdated consoles and halting progress because the poor cannot afford to keep pace with the technology. True progress will come when they are left behind.shadowchronicle
There is always room for improvement but do we absolutely need it to enjoy the game proven by the past? No. You don't need realistic people to enjoy a game to its fullest. Yes realistic graphics would be nice. But no graphics that aren't realistic should not be left. As for poor people, that is how the market works. Poor people don't buy so they're not going to sell it. In the end people can still enjoy artistic graphics and realistic graphics are not mandatory for the game industry to move on.
Also you sound kind of pompous when you talk about how poor people should be left behind.
Should have been more clear in regards to graphics. I don't mean everything needs to try and be ARMA. I'm referring more to textures that aren't blurry, dynamic shadows that are effected by every light source in a room etc. I'd be pretty bored if everything tried to be a real life simulator. Gaming needs crazy stuff like Serious Sam and cartoony graphics can look really good if they put a lot of effort into it. As for the whole poor thing. That's why the next xbox is only using a lousy 6670. The main market for consoles are people who can't afford a good computer (although really, it's more a case of being too lazy to put a good computer together, as they really aren't all that expensive, especially considering cards like the gtx 690 are complete overkill, same thing with processors). The consoles need to be dirt cheap because of their market. What needs to happen is a separation between consoles and PC's. Developers and Publishers that make games exclusively for PC's should get together with nvida, amd, etc. and start pushing games requirements and use that to push the sale of new computer parts. They already sort of do this with things like physX, but they should push even harder. I wouldn't mind the advertising if it meant I got to play games that look better, and have more sophisticated mechanics.

Calling the Colonists "good guys" is laughable at best lmfao. @ Vanguardius, if Ubisoft were an American company, I'd bet my life and house on the game being like that. Just be thankful that they're European.

You are forgetting that they're French. Still, the image was more of poking fun at what could happen, rather than what is happening.
SS13 even though it's so addictive. ****curity is always useless. Yes, just go chasing after the janitor rather than dealing with the clown whose MURDERING MY ASSISTANTS! I don't even know how he started with a chainsaw. Borging is so much more time consuming when your assistants are dead. One of these days I'm going to borg the clown. Hopefully not getting murdered by monkeys and turning into one because of the monkey plague or getting blown up because chem keeps mixing **** that should not be mixed. Sometimes even resulting in killer fungus eating everything. That's of course when they haven't broken into hydro and gotten high of their rears.
Use this and this to plan your build. Now my favorite builds. LOADSASOULS BUILD (otherwise known as go be poor somewhere else): Moonlight greatsword tin Crystallisation Catalyst Crystal ring Shield Lightning Avelyn with Lightning Bolts Crystalline Set Pop humanities whenever possible, you can afford them. Throw around repair powder like it's fairy dust. Crystal Sorceries only, use solely the finest of the offensive soul arts. Vit-16+ Att=19+ End=33+ Str=16 Dex=14 Res=12 Int=44+ Fai=8 Build Number 2: FUN: THE BUILD (ALSO KNOWN AS "FATS THE BANDIT") SL120 FAST AS **** USES A LIGHTNING WEAPON LIKE A B**** DON'T GIVE A **** IF IT'S VIABLE OR NOT NOW HERE'S WHAT YOU DO! Start as a Bandit, (lowest Faith, Int, Attunement) Never put points into any of those things because you are a man of honor and Republican, and you do not trust the Soul Sciences. Don't put anything into Resistance either, it's for noobs (and has awful diminishing returns, starting at just 15 points) Get 16 Str and 10 Dex, barely enough to equip the Lightning Zweihander in 2 hands. This is your sword. There are many like it, but it is yours. 50 points in Vit. Everything else in Endurance. Are you thinking about putting a point into something other than Endurance? No? Are you sure? Good. ITEMS: The aforementioned Zap-hander Ring of Favor and Protection, Havel's Ring, Mask of the Mother All of those stack with either your massive Vit, End, or both. THE REST FULL HAVEL'S The result? Over 2000 HP, with one of the highest damage weapons in the game, wearing THE heaviest armor set in the game, while STILL under 25% Equip Load, making you run at the fastest possible speed. Will TWoP counter you? YO BET YOUR SWEET BEHIND IT WILL. They don't have TWoP? YOU ARE LIKE THE FLASH MIXED WITH GUTS. **** THEM UP. NOW MAKE ME PROUD!!
This is going to end up happening.
