doesnt matter who ripped off who, we have a 2008 mmo doing the same as WoW did upon release, pretty much the same skin just "tarted" up.

cartoons can be fun, but they are also associated with children. I know that all the ten year old boys in my sons class will be playing. I also read the statistics for warhammer website give that majority of visitors are under 16 yrs old. WAR will be a breeding ground for the playground types, eg those still in school.

warhammer is 25yrs old or so, those people that played tabletop 15 yrs ago will still have the kid in them today.

 

more like failhammer than wowhammer

the only fail thing around here is ur avatar... well and ur logic... and ur multiple lvl 70 1337 raiding skills....

do yourself a favor and look up 5 posts above yours. Also, since you state you have a 10 year old son, you should act more like an adult than the 10 year old. Come on, you even have a failhammer avatar. Sheesh man.

Actually, nevermind. There is no debating with you. All 243 of your posts were bashing Warhammer and half of them were edited by the moderators due to trolling, flaming, and disrespecting other posters. Wow. Here's a blog I wrote that you may be interested in reading: www.mmorpg.com/blogs/Enigma/082008/2467_What-is-a-Fanboi-and-what-is-a-hater

I have to say. I never seen a person devoting their entire mmorpg.com forum posts to one mission: hate one specific game.

Wow.

That's scarey and really really sad lol.

 

Ive come across lots of people like this, people with literally hundreds upon hundreds of posts flaming the same game over and over. Whats even scarier is the people who have 5000 posts on an account created mere months ago. Can you imagine 20+ trolling posts a day?

Ive been here for a very long time and I never seen one person who sole creation on these forums were to bash one game and that's it. I cannot believe he's not banned already....some of his posts were pretty messed up

I hate WoW's graphics. It physically gives me nerd rage to even look at that trash. Realistic graphics are what I prefer.

WAR's graphics did at first glance remind me of WoW's but within a few minutes of playing I realized they were very different. The characters and world are more realistic and defined. WAR isn't as realisitic as I would like but they are much better than WoW's moronic kiddie style.

I understand why people think they look the same but really it's a superficial resemblance. A lot of it has to do with the similar look of the ui. Also high end graphics options were turned of for the beta. Once the release goes live and people can see WAR in all it's glory I don't think those comparisons will be made anymore.

The graphics should represent the game; dark realistic graphics may fit for a game with such content, and nice cartoony graphics for a game with, generally seen, easy content. WoW got a form of "easy" content: WoW does by means try to look dark and gloomy and neither is there really much realism to be found anywhere, and I don't think Blizzard aimed for the "dark and gloomy" crowd either. I got no problem at all with WoW's graphics and think that developers should give up the fixation on using realistic graphics since it turns out into two things: either you get nice looking graphics, waste a lot of money on it and so on and narrow down the crowd that can play the game quite severely; or you try, and fail, making the game look bad in general and terribly pixelated, unclear etc. Of the two given options I'd rather prefer to pick cartoony ones.

What I'd see more of is also dark and gloomy cartoony graphics, i.e. instead of the overly light and happy color scheme you take a darker and gloomer one and just make every more gloomy - while still not having a realistic graphic. There is by no means only the option realism or wow-clone cartoony, which is what developers need to understand.

What's with all the hate towards cartoony graphics?

Does art no longer exist? Different styles and different builds providing different structures, colors, and styles are to be neglected, because you personally don't like that their eyes are 1/3rd larger than a real life human?

Is it the hate against cartoons? I'm in my early 20s, still watch Spongebob... would you rather me watch CSI and be so inclined to be mesmorized by rape and murder because cartoons are for little kids, and murder and rape is what adults should enjoy? Doesn't make sense to me.

Why do we need to see in video games where we're supposed to relax; people chopping off model's heads, gauging out their eyes? What's next... rape video games where you press A+Right Click for positions? Not appealing for me, and I'm sure it cuts out a very large audience.

Very strange to see people that want only this or that, and then whine about how things aren't changing in the MMO industry.

To each his/her own, if you absolutely can't stand they way something looks... stay away from it or don't whine about it.

The OP has a good point.  I always find it funy that anyone who plays video games would find cartoons to be immature.  I aslo find it funny that people think blood and violence are what makes something mature.  In truth maturity has nothing to do with either of these things.  In fact a mature person can enjoy almost anything in comparison to say someone who thinks violence/realism is mature and cool.

Nah really. Graphics don't matter.  If you are having fun, who cares about the opinion about other people?  Maybe is more mature to ignore other people opinions.

Thats true, but sometimes it's good to say something when a game is being constantly trashed for being kiddy.

Its stylised, not cartoony, just like every other mmo/game out. "Cartoony" is a style. Toontown is stylised as  a cartoon.
