WOW beta!

[A Black Falcon]

Win? No, you just defined the debate on your side until you won by default... in your opinion... you're the one spinning it so you can't lose your arguements, not me. I wasn't the one who tried to say tha artwork is irrelevant when we are talking about which game looks nicer! That is crazy!

See, "better" doesn't just mean technically and it never did from my side of the conversation. I've always said that the best thing about Blizz's art isn't their polycount but their brilliant artwork. Your saying it looks bad, from my view (and as I've been saying each time we have this debate and you've never really denied, especially given how you attacked WCIII too!), is your saying that you dislike their art style... which I just can't understand. WC3/WoW look so awesome!

Yes, EQ2's characters are shiny, but that's nothing a quick edit in the exe file won't fix. You just have to turn down the shaders a notch.

And you think they'll do that?

Aesthetics are completely subjective while technical merit is not. As I said, you could call Mario World the best-looking game ever made if you think it has the best art ever. WoW is most definitely behind the graphics curve, and you can easily tell that it was created with shitty PCs in mind.

And that would, IMO, be a valid opinion (SMW) if you really love that art that much...
