Re: The graphics in this game are garbage

Assuming it's not a troll, it's his opinion so there is really no argument, like all opinions are subjective there is not really much to say, just that I don't agree and find the graphics on par with other modern mmo games. What is lacking is in texture details when zooming in but that's all, atmosphere (sky etc) is stunning imo.

RIP PERPETUUM

Name a single game from 1996 that has better gfx than perp

Maybe you need to upgrade your voodoo 2 gfx card wink

Re: The graphics in this game are garbage

Mmm...Voodoo 2.  That came out in 1998, by the way.  You're thinking more along the lines of the original Voodoo card if we're backing off the 1996.  I miss the Glide API.  DirectX as an API existed back in 1996, but OpenGL and Glide were a little more feature-rich and capable.  DX2 was the first version I recall seeing games use and Master of Orion 2 (Win95 version as the DOS installer, of course, didn't bother with DX) was my first exposure to it.

You want a subscription for this? Laughable.

You may now go ahead and sell my email address to some shady company, hopefully they will pay you enough to hire some real texture people.

Go play on your Xbox then.

This is the most disturbing thing I've read today.  I like it.

you two are the biggest forum trolls but it's at least fun to read your comments (and a learning experience with some comments from Arga).

Hah!  Do you see that, Arga!  -YOU- are a forum troll!!!  lol  So much for trying to cleverly disguise your true nature under a cloak of supposedly useful, constructive discussion.  85/15 indeed.  Psha!

Re: The graphics in this game are garbage

Its just creepy though if it's not in public... I mean, creepier.

Re: The graphics in this game are garbage

The way I weigh it, there are two alternatives.

1) LARP in public so everyone can see you casting pretend lightning bolts.

2) LARP in private so you can potentially claim you don't do it at all.

Given the two options, I prefer the latter of the two.  No one else needs to know about the cross dressing elf girl outfits besides you and me.

Re: The graphics in this game are garbage

private cross dressing... much much creepier, I feel you should share that with everyone and quit worrying about how other people laugh at you in public; they do it anyway, this way you can blame it on the pointy ears and a plunging neck line.

To get back on topic, the above comment clearly demonstrates exactly why the OP's claim that Perp's graphics compare roughly to games released in 1996 is unreasonable.  Clearly, LARPing is possible in Perp and it's possible to do it better here than in any game released 15 years ago.
