Cartoony style graphics....

I've been silently reading through this forum for some 6 months now. The amount of pessimism on this forum boggles my mind for a game that's barely in Alpha. I've watched every scrap of video on 2.0 I could find and I have to say I was very impressed with the live letter, the only part I thought needed work was the water. And with that they stated "water is in development so don't look at it".

They stated time and again the game will look better then the current build of 1.0. Have some damn faith, they've already proven that they know what they're doing when it comes to several other area's of the game.

Not to mention that you'll be able to actually use the higher game settings without your frame rate chugging to a halt. It's a different graphics engine anyway, things are going to look different. I think the game looks great and I agree, I don't get the amount of pessimism around here. I'd say be careful with the "have some faith" comments considering even thinking about waiting to see how things turns out means you're a white knight and you have the attitude that forced the game to fail in the first place, at least according to most around here lol.

Aww hell no, no you didnt just tell me to have faith.

I'll white knight yo ass all the way back up the block!

- I try to hold onto the fence line (and fail sometimes) but there are good points on both sides. You cant just say wait around lets all be quiet and admire - they have proven that doesn't work, and have admitted it and asked for our help.

Hell if they had a better line of communication to us Atomos problem would have been fixed a few days after it started.

At the same time threatening every misstep with "I'm going to leave your ass" is not good either it just gets annoying - everything in moderation (and each persons idea of moderation is different, splendid beautiful world).

This is quite true haha. I generally agree with that however that we can't just assume they'll fix it. I played the alpha/beta for 2 months hoping and praying they'd fix the armory system or announce actual jobs and they didn't.

The main reason I do say have faith with the graphics is we've seen from the most recent trailers (bar tgs one) that the game looks very good still if not better. I have to say the lighting i've seen thus far in the current build of 2.0 is phenomenal! So when the dev's say "We will make it look better" I'll take their word for it as they've already surpassed my expectations.

Hopefully when the benchmark gets released we can use it to accurately gauge not only how it handles on older graphics cards but what the actual quality difference will be between them and something newer.
