1eyedking 1eyedking's List of Games Full of Tasteful Art Direction

[ghostdog]

Welcome 1eyedking. That's a very intelligent first thread you wrote there, I am sure you'll make a great addition to our community here.

Is this a troll post?

Starcraft? My dick has more taste.

DOOM? Cyberdemons good, everything else bad. Not to mention random color scheme. The start of the oh so edgy biomechanical chimera nonsense that made quake series so annoying.

Gothic? Do I have to say anything? Art direction inspired by the sims.

Icewind dale? What what what? Hard to go wrong with a DnD setting but hard to go very right, it's just too generic for words.

I can agree with fallout and witcher and thief.

Everything else I have no real opinion.

lol doom lol

Added Company of Heroes, both X-COMs. Can't believe I forgot about those. Also GTA:SA as a honorary mention.

Also, Morrowind? Nexus? FF7? Shin Megami Tensei? Homeworld? Good art direction games? Try harder niggers. Those are either pretentiously empty crap, or empty crap period.

Stop posting unenlightened shit comments on my thread. Go play your fucking Wizardries, Jagged Alliances, King's Bounty The Legend, Winter Voices, KotC, Europa Universalis, The Void, Personas, and other masterpieces brimming with cheap emo faggotry, elves and orcs in space, borked accents with incredibly exploitable gameplay mechanics, and pseudoartistic value.

jesus christ you must be a troll otherwise it's too good to be true

 

[Wyrmlord]

GOOD VOICE ACTING, MUSIC & CUTSCENES, WHAT IS THAT AMIRITE?

What do any of those three have to do with the actual game?

 

[Grunker]

WHERE'S MY PIG LATIN IN MY UNIT VOICES

Veritas, Credo, Oculos!

Praeses, Alia, Fero!

Vita, Mortis, Careo!

Scio, Didici, Pecto!

Manus, Potentis, Paro!

Incertus, Pulcher, Imperio!

Facio, Voco , Ferre!

Cupio, Virtus, Licet!

but icewind dale is excused yeah i know man latin spellcasting is pretty deep right like harry potter

 

[1eyedking]

What do any of those three have to do with the actual game?

It's what you see and hear all the time. Ergo, they are the game, dumbfuck.

"WHAT IS THIS 'STARCRAFT IS GOOD ART'? GOOD VOICE ACTING, MUSIC & CUTSCENES, WHAT IS THAT AMIRITE?"

I know it's a troll but explain how anything blizzard has done since dungeon keeper has any good part to it at all? Zergs, Protoss, oversized Spehz Marines?

Tell me about the art.

 

[1eyedking]

The HUD. God I miss HUDs.

The Overmind. A fucking eye with stretched tendons, how fucking cool is that? "Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me." Best. Campaign. Greeting. EVER.

Unit design is overall, pretty solid and more measured than full-blown "FUCK YEAH SPACE MARINES ADVANCE" with less overdesign.

The Zerg are credible, non-ridiculous aliens. Appart from Alien, they're the only alien race done well. Tyranids have weapons and swords on them, fucking ridiculous.

Humans feel industrial and not a 2.0 design statement.

No fucking fashion venues in space.

Protoss are mostly crap. They should've hired this guy for them.

And if you're still in doubt, click here or here.

There are games without voice acting. There are games without cutscenes. There are games without music. There are admittedly not many games without all three, but they probably do exist.

Anyway, I don't think Doom was praised for its Nine Inch Nails music, which is solely remembered for nostalgia value. Otherwise, it did without voice acting or cutscenes. Was Doom not a game?

 

[Cowboy Moment]

1eyedking is pretty brave, standing up to the Codex like this.

So it's good because it's more tasteful than warhammer 40k?

At least you didn't point to the shiny cartoony shit they have done more recently but the southern redneck space emperor doesn't seem like a shining moment even if it's meant tongue in cheek as a bash on W when he was in office.

I guess the marinez are OK but the Zerg I just don't like but there's no accounting for tastes. I don't think anyone likes protoss though.

I think 1eyedking is a pretty cool guy. Eh generates shit storms and doesnt afraid of anything.

 

[Kron]

Fucking references to politics? Wtf man, aren't we being a bit far fetched?

Even if the developers meant it to be so, it's totally gay.

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

So this is pretty much a list of "Games I Liked And Try to Justify MY Superiority In Liking Them Using A Ton of Mental Gymnastics", right? Doom 3, Icewind Dale 2, Diablo...really? I'd really like to see how you square this list with all the reasons you shit on other games because so many of them fall to the same critiques.

[...]Wizardries, Jagged Alliances, King's Bounty[...]Europa Universalis[...] and other masterpieces brimming with cheap emo faggotry, elves and orcs in space, borked accents with incredibly exploitable gameplay mechanics, and pseudoartistic value.

You're not even trying.

 

[Random]

Very poor attempt at trolling.

Besides, everyone knows Ico has the best art direction of any video game ever. Of all time. Fucking period.

 

[Kron]

YOU SIR ARE A FUCKING FAGGOT. FUCKING PERIOD.
