Have I told I expect games to be ugly?

That sums up about exactly what I think of the GTA series improvement.

OK. I don't understand what the point of that comic is supposed to be, but okay.

Funny thing really, GTA3 was a first - and Vice City was more of an addition of details - a cash in perhaps - but a good one. San Andreas is pushing it though. It really doesn't look like the technology involved has changed much, so there's not much excuse there.

I guess it's all down to personal taste. GTA3 has a good formula.. they seem to be taking the "why change what isn't broken" approach.

*sigh*

Same engine. Same stuff :sigh:

For me it looks like nothing changed. Just better lightning. The engine is still the same, the trees are still 2d, and the textures look outdated....even worse than VC.
I finally destoryed the Shivan armada and all I got was this lousy T shirt.

Oh the horrors of playing a game that doesn't have the uber graphics......play a game cuz it's fun, not because it looks good.

And why are you guys complaining about the engine? FS1 and 2 used the same one, but like VC, FS2 updated the original. There's nothing wrong with game developers doing that.

Nothing wrong when they're really upgrading it :p

But I'll rephrase your first sentence for you:
Oh the horrors of paying a game that doesn't even have upgraded graphics...
Ok, I'll say what I think very clearly: that should be an addon, not a full blown game. That's a ****ing rip-off.
There's certainly more interesting things to spend money on.
Ah, yeah, there's Ninja Gaiden out tomorrow.

Read, doggy.  I don't think that says graphics, does it?

GTA 1 and GTA 2 had identical graphics. And people bought GTA 2 as well. The same is true for example for Doom 1 and 2.

Wrong, GTA2 had an updated engine (you can see it in the lighting).

Not that this matters much... if you ask me GTA2 was worse than the original.

Your point being? Doom2 wasn't worth the money either ( that's why I got it w/o paying :p ), neither was GTA2. And people buying it doesn't make it any better, there's also pictures of people who eat **** on the net, that doesn't mean **** is worth eating.

"1st guy - It's a new fashion, it's called suicide!!
2nd guy - Great, what is it all about?!?
1st - You just get a gun, stick it on your head and pull the trigger.
2nd guy - That is just so cool!! Where do people get these new ideas?
1st - Like I said, it's a brand new fashion. Look at me trying!
*BOOM*
2nd - Oh dude, I've got to try this stuff.
*BOOM*"

That's pretty much my opinion :D

I just hope this game is better than the last or by god I'm going to rip off the head of the lead programmer!! :devil:

Doom 2 was the favourite of everyone that time.

Of course, it was the exact same with more weapons, monsters and levels, they didn't attempt to make people believe it was a new game or something. But it could, it should have been an addon. And I'm not even talking about final doom, ultimate doom, etc.
With GTA, they ty and make people believe it's a brand new game. That's what I can't swallow.
