can you imagine the kind of content a AAA studio could shove into a game if they just decided to make the graphics look like Morrowind
I wonder if in an alternate timeline we could have had any other arbitrary video game trait be the big selling point. Improved graphics is very easy to show in an advertisement where as something like story can only be hinted at. It’s like this weird mating display kind of thing where it’s impossible to directly show someone your genes but you can show them how big and beautiful your kratos is in an attempt to get consumers to buy. Look how handsome and detailed this muscleman is. If he’s so beautiful, doesn’t that make you think that the rest of the game will be just as lovingly crafted? Of course it’s much more compicated than that but I just took such a huge bong hit and I feel like I’m living inside a dream
you’re literally so right I’m inclined to believe the bong hit sent you to that timeline for a second
Oh no two seperate artist created two separate characters with different silloettes whatever has happened to the animation industry in 73 years??? The Horror!!!
This post is making fun of people who cry about “cal arts art style”
I’m specifically mocking this gif
ah, that.
some fun facts about this: the person who made the original chart the gif is derived from outright lied in order to get their point across by deliberately drawing the characters super off-model…
and “CalArts” as a derogative term didn’t originally refer to bean mouths, soft rounded faces, and what have you. It originally referred to 2D Disney-style animation (specifically, it was in reference to The Iron Giant of all things.) And the person to blame for this is…
drumroll please…
That’s right, John Kricfalusi coined “CalArts Style.”
As in, the convicted pedophile.
As in, the guy who notoriously tortured his animation staff.
HOLY SHIT THE MOUSE FROM TOM AND JERRY IS SANS
Say his name. Don’t look it up. Look me in the eyes right now and tell me the rats name.
Bro, how is literally every part of a woman’s body attractive? Like, the curve of her stomach… her fingers… her fucking armpit… why does every little thing make me fucking insane???
