This one would qualify for me.

Which point, the fact that it looks hideous or that it is single player?

It does look pretty shitty, graphics-wise.

If you read about their combat system though it has alot of twitch based combat stuff. If they went high end graphics whats gonna happen to the twitch combat when you get 40+ people on your screen?

You should take Beheadings as an indication for a general more "mature" theme...

This game's graphics being shitty has nothing to do with low polygons or the absence of shaders or anything that would make the game playable on low-end computers. It has everytihng to do with flesh eating diseases.

Violence doesn't make the audience mature. Look at GTA. I would argue that excessive violence attracks immature people trying to compensate for their immaturity by playing "mature" games.

Beheadings will never get tiring in PVP, much like getting a solid headshot is still satisfying in a FPS. Nothing says "OWNED" like lopping some punk's head off. Especially if you can make them into trophys ;p

Plus all the jokes you can make about it.

Hey gays, time to get some head! Hey R3d S0nj4... gimme head! It takes a sharp sword to get a head in this game!

First of all - I like WoW but i doubt any community could get more immature then the WoW community (besides CS perhaps), therefor it could only get better

That screenshot doesn't look that bad to me. The face looking paint on the chest is part of the beginner storyline. as far as the flesh tones I can see scars and veins in there. That's pretty impressive to me. Since they are in a forest setting I think that they are trying to recreate a dopple lighting effect of light through leaves.

Just my opinion and we all know how those are?

Please show me any photograph that resembles the bulges that is in that screenshot. I don't want to turn into Utnayan with his insane ranting against incomplete products, but the poor man doesn't even have a chest. It will probably change, but as it stands right now, it is just plain hideous.

So in your blind hatred you are unable to see tendons and veins from the base of the neck and a diagonal scar going up from right to left from the bellybutton?

The fact that he's a little pudgy versus six pac abs by jon basedow is a nice change.

Did you hear that they're talking about drunken tavern fights where its gearless and a level whatever can fight a level one on even terms? Kind of a neat idea imo.
