You know? Heck idk.

How come these freak-o-zoids are ruining my games?  What's with the fat cartoon look?  Call it what you want.

WoW - ROTLK has cartoon wolves, fat dumb baby faced 15 foot tall yetti, and other stupid, out of preportion junk.

Torchlight release a dungeon crawler looking like it's made for 7 year olds with comic outbursts.

Settlers 7 went cutesie also.

Elemental just did this too.  Avatars and monsters look like dolls, or plastic toys you get @ McDonald's.  Why, why, why, why, why, why?  Next we are getting circle, triangle, square puzzles, and hanging sing-a-long moblies?  Why?

When the evil marking people wanted more girls to play and we got yelling chicks with swords, it's weird, but...ok whatever.  Now we get 3 yr olds?  omfg?  Is this the Chinese?  Is this Korean?  Where is this baby-fantasy look coming from?  Target the nuke and drop it now.  This is a HUGE turn off.  I can't put that in CAPS large enough.  Just stop now.  I just puked in my mouth.

I would suggest listerine

Well I happen to find Alexstrasza attractive (... in both forms...).

SO THERE!

 

(wRath of the lich king??)

 

Its easier to do (cheaper) and has broader appeal (mass market). WoW has resonable advacned graphics compared to some of this crap though.

I was going to suggest valium myself.

Actually Uga-Bugga..I saw a link about how they may actually be changing some of the character designs, not sure if it'll be updated to your particular standards, but who knows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g I think there was a dev journal about it a while back as well...

I totally disagree with the OP.. I like the art style.. could it be tweaked some sure why not.. but it has its own look and feel.. I respect that the OP does not like it ..  however I do not want it to change.

I respectfully disagree.  I really liked how Torchlight looked.  Desktop Defenders also looks like it's going to be fun, but I'm sure you won't like that either.

Well, it's just devs realized the 15-years-old male demographic (ie, the only one that actually cares about such things) isn't as profitable as they thought.

Don't worry, once you reach full adulthood you'll finally stop caring about it. Until then, well, I guess there's always moar Counter-Strike.

I haven't noticed any deformation. Only thing I've noticed graphically is that cavalrymen don't know how to ride horses. Which is probably because their legs couldn't go far enough apart without looking weird.

Because having every game try to look ultra realistic with 160 shades of brown isn't as great as its cracked up to be.

No!
NO!

Don't you dare compare Elemental's style to WoW.

On behalf of the entire universe, I am sad.

Indeed. World of Warcraft looks WAY better than Elemental.

I really like the look of Elemental -- impressionistic without being cartoony. 

To each, their own...

It's also distinctive.  It's important for a game to be immediately recognizable from a quick glance at a screenshot.

I like Elemental's graphics.  I think that part of the reason HOMM2 is still played is because the distinctive, stylized graphics don't age nearly as quickly as the "realistic" style of HOMM3's graphics.

Best regards,
Steven.

Um, ok...can't say I agree with you....this game looks great, perhaps your settings are all at low?

on Sep 11, 2010

Humm.... are you still thinking of those early screens form 2003? Cos Im thinking about the Wrath and Cata zones and stuff....

 

I just really like the art style of wow, it has a 'realistic' edge to it while still being stylised and not competing with the 'cutting edge' MMOs like FFXXX.

I really like how they put colour into stuff also.
