Hmm, kind of like you reading just this thread and assuming you know everything about the graphic discussion
If they want to know what people think they can look at the forums and comment sections, not that hard
And here you completely ignore my question
Your argument is literally the majority think graphics could be better, lol
Which is what I clearly said.
I was wrong? You cherry picked 2 comments and said," Majority!"
And I say again, you are arguing just for the sake of it, I have already said that I agree with you that the majority thinks graphics can be improved
Except I have countered your argument, gameplay is more important than graphics and hence should be first priority. Now that they know that most people think graphics can be improved, they can release an Ultra graphics DLC, which is what I have been saying for months now. But go ahead and continue to ignore that just so you can continue arguing.
All the comments regarding the game, yes. If you donât say anything about the graphics, it is the same thing as saying, âI think graphics are fineâ in fact, so much so that you donât even bother saying anything about the graphics.
I donât assume to know everything I just really donât see where we differ. Whatever though, what i think isnât dependent on other people, ill just say I instead of we.
I said they should know, you asked why, I said why, now you say they can look in the forums if they want to know⊠I think we reached an agreement here.
Because how I answer it doesnât matter. I think gameplay is the first priority. I think a fun game is more important than a pretty game. I also think the game looks unacceptably poor for a AAA release from the richest software developer on the planet, who decided to make a sequel to a game that is synonymous with the genre, in 2021. I dont see the value in sugercoating my disappointment by saying things like âgameplay is more importantâ because I donât presume that Relic cant achieve both. Considering their previous record I dont see why anyone would.
It still is. And âgameplay is more importantâ still doesnt counter that.
Then maybe we do agree on everything. I joined to counter the argument that the people who dislike the visuals are the vocal minority. If you agree with that they are not then I guess we are in agreement.
See? I knew you were trying to pull a fast one. No, people not commenting dont automatically join your âfineâ camp. You said the unique comments who say its fine outnumber those that dont. So show them if you dont like the ones i cherry picked.
Even if you could (and you cant) it doesnt matter, my only argument is that when most of the community is comprised of people who dislike it, and that the 2nd biggest group simply thinks its fine, then you have a problem.
You would have a worse problem if the gameplay was poor but only open beta can teach us on gameplay.
Because the people playing the beta have the actual beta/pre-alpha version of their game in their hands. Those that donât are reviewing graphics from a compressed YouTube/CDN compressed video, thatâs like seeing 8k movies on a mobile screen that has only 720p screen display and giving a review on how great the details look.
Those that have actually played the beta will not say anything on any public forum much less this one because it is a violation of their NDA. But we can say is that there were multiple threads about Graphics of varying opinions from players all around the world.
I do believe these people are giving their best, and I like the game so far even if there are things that I like and things that I donât. Even for AoM (which is my fav game of all time, it has plenty of things that I donât like at all).
I believe that what are they doing with Age IV itâs awesome and I have no doubt that they put their heart and dedication into it.
You will have to wait and play, and get your own conclusion. Hope you spend enough hours playing it before getting a conclusion.
His response wouldnât have said anything about graphics quality, we were talking about how many people like or dislike graphics, lol. Please read before you post, just like that other guy
There are a lot of players who donât like the graphics. But Iâm not sure that they are the majority, sure there are many people that donât like the graphics but I think there are more players who like them. At least that what it seemed from beta testers opinions. Also people who donât like something are always vocal about it.
I only refer to having 2nd and 3rd hand viewing of the source material is not ideal as actually having access to first hand viewing of the source material. Sorry my 8k on 720p analogy confused you.
I did say graphics which is a general term that encompasses anything displayed on a screen, as per the NDA no one who tested it will tell you what specifically is being referred to and Iâll repeat again
I will repeat myself, being under the NDA has NOTHING that prevents you from discussing how many people like or dislike the graphics. Itâs not that hard to understandâŠ
None of that says anything about looking at a youtube comment section and saying," Oh, more people dislike graphics than people who like them."
How hard is that to understand? Do you just like to argue?
Rellic have done my second favorite game, CoH. That game is so innovative and perfect in all ways. Its impossible for me to think that they are not giving their best. Unfortunately I think they just hired the wrong people for this project in terms of art or visuals. There some weird aspects that its hard for me to accept as a finished game, mostly see a mediocre work when I start to think in the avalanche of promising things that they could do with that engine. But they look mediocre, not saying they are mediocre, just took the wrong decisions. I hontestely love relic and their ppl.
That may have to be due more to World Edgeâs art direction than Relicâs, if you saw or got to play the pre-alpha preview COH3 looks like a 2021 game and its the exact same engine used in AOEIV
