Dear Esther Graphics update

Just realized that this guy was the environment artist for Mirrors Edge. I have a new hero now :retard:

Who cares about the nonexistent technical achievement? IT LOOKS NICE. That’s all that fucking matters.

Bad game != good graphics.

The janitor in Scrubs was fucking awesome. He mops carpet and doesn’t afraid of anything.

yeah looking nice is objective
i never said the mod itself isn’t nice looking
but wow grass!!!

This is a really simple concept that you don’t seem to be getting. You know how painting has been around for millennia? You know how when someone makes a painting that looks really realistic, people praise it because it took skill? Does that mean a realistic painting has never been done before, or that the people praising the painting have never seen a realistic painting? No, that’s ridiculous.

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want us to admit that he didn’t invent grass moving realistically in 3d rendered environments? I think that’s obvious to everyone already.

Who’s to say that realistic lighting or textures are more important than realistic movement? There’s no way you can prove that those are more worthy of being impressed by. You just seem to be baffled that people don’t have the same subjective hierarchy of what makes a quality game.

Yes. The grass looks nice. Your sig does not.

You of all people can’t really talk about anything being aesthetically pleasing with a sig like that.

this game is too winner for me to understand

No, you’re too winner to understand.

he really isn’t

This thread makes it official. Patonki hates nice things.

His point is somewhat valid in that your excitement over a graphical feature that has been around for some time is somewhat excessive, but he does tend to hate all that is imperfect.

Or hates it if it is perfect, but doesn’t share qualities with something irrelevant or obscure.

all the ps2 emulators i have tried, has been laggy as hell

maybe because of the pirated BIOS(yes i have a ps2, but it’s a pain in the ass to get the BIOS from it)

it’s a what in the ass?

it’s a pain in the ass.

hey look here is a thing you should read

also i don’t hate things i am just overly critical
i mean god damn i called the mod good in like 2 of my responses
reading comprehension what is that

no the bios doesn’t change a thing, you basically need a decent desktop PC with a dual core overclockable to at least 3ghz and windows 7 64 bit with a dx10 graphics card not made by intel and at least 4gb of ram.

Also it depends on the games you try, for example wipeout fusion runs fast (60fps all the time) and wipeout pulse runs at like 20fps (still playable),gta vice city stories runs fullspeed all the time and gta liberty city stories needs all the speed hax enabled for the music not to slow down while driving.

I’ve been trying Gran Turismo 4, it’s rather temperamental. It’s requirements power-wise are amongst the highest

I was trying out the new Call of Dut… wait… i forgot what we were discussing again?

We were appearently discussing PS2 emulators.
