Poll and Rant (Graphics)

[Deimos]

lots of people like anime, most free mmos have shitty gfx, so combining the two (making the gfx cartoony instead of 3d with tons of dodgy polygons all over the gaff) means most mmo games have those kinds of gfx. sure cartoony gfx piss me off, thats why i dont play those games. the end.

noones forcing me and its not like tihngs are gonna change anyway.

who cares.

the fact that anime/cute is a genre doesn't bother me, but what does irritate me to death is the insane flood coming from asia.


it's just insane how they can't think of something completely diffirent for a change. Sure, in asia and maybe in the US/EU they might be "popular", but why not develop something new, out of thin air. The whole idea of making a massive game hit is to be innovative.


I'm looked out on all those clones. there's an 99% chance that, when there's a topic saying "new game released" here on ONRPG, that game is a Cute game ...

[Glavus]

I wouldn't necessarily say F NO! more of a meh I don't care much.

i'm not quite out of it yet, wether that was sarcastic or not, but nevertheless

i'm not saying this in a "racist" way (i love asia, i study chinese and i'm going there for 6 months within 2 years, there!)
but the have absolutely 0 creativity.
9/10 cute games are plain copies of the previous one.
i have seen the same elements in 90% of all cute games
-they look the same
-they feel the same
-they ARE the same

there are 3 archtypes of copy-able cute mmorpg's
-the side scroller: i.e. Maplestory
-the open world: i.e. Deco (the most copied type so far)
-the stage based: i.e. Lunia

And whoever said something about realistic 3d being all blocky.
3 words: what..the..hell?
it's 2007, a descent graphic intensive mmorpg isn't blocky (i.e. Lotro, EQ2)
if it's blocky, it means you're pc isn't badass enough to run them blocky-less ..
and don't give me the "ZOMG i gotz quad core, 4gig, 8800GTX SLIz!", that's rubbish

i love you, nuff said

completly not sarcastic

I agree with Neothaka.

Sure, at first when it wasn't such a dominating style of graphics it was fine.

But now they're just getting too similar, and the hype they're getting is just plain stupid.

[ArcDevil]

and the hype they're getting is just plain stupid.

quite obvious,since their player base is plain stupid...

Your words not mine. :3

If an over used art style pisses you off well then kudos to you, well not really get over it twats.

To answer the question:

No they do not piss me off, I have better things to be pissed off about, like for example why they allow monkeys to use computers and access the internet.

[Reemyx]

I honestly don't care depending though, I look at that and the gameplay and if it's something fun then I'd play it. Rose I like, I'm a grown (early twenties) person and still like it since it was fun. So if I'm called a child cause I play a game similar, then the person is not open-minded to fun in my opinion.

I do care if the graphics is way too kiddy, and everything in the game makes it worse in a bad way...but it all depends like I said.

I hate how companies still try to use sex appeal even in those ridiculously cutesy looking games. A half naked little girl is just not right, its like they are trying to attract *********s.

[Cereal&Milk]

Have you never seen girls before? They do dress like that you know. Unless you've gone to like.. a nunnery.

I'm down for some naked nuns. Provide the sauce or gtfo.
