"One criticism is the item/enemy placement, I was in 'Communications Transfer' and I came into a room that had three Z-sec zombies in it and then two Cacodemons spawned in, followed by five imps after that. I was at 20% health and what is there to patch you up with after that big fight? A measley small med kit, to make matters worse there were like three imps in the next room too.. I just managed to make it.. just."

Isn't that a good thing? If you *just* made it, means the game is balanced very well.

Well all the other pictures in this thread to start with. In fact i like most photos posted in this forum with usually only a few exceptions.

I really don't get why people take it as an insult, personally, when i don't like something they made. Please explain.

I don't think it's something that can be improved. They're good pictures but i just don't like flower pictures, it's a matter of taste. I don't think anyone should change what they photograph because of someone elses taste. Besides that i do think that his reply sounds a bit bitter or something, cynical and i don't think that's appropriate. I tried to give Mike some advice on what i would do - in a most friendly way - but that didn't work out well at all so i'm not gonna try again for a while.

perhaps post a list of what you do like and we'll do our best to accomodate

Don't be so bitter please. I'm just saying that i don't like something, don't take it so personal. But, because of your kind offer, i will in the future like everything in return. Cheers

well let's all be happy for mike then eh

I've always hated flower pictures for some reason, i hate those deeply and with passion. The other pictures are really nice though, great job both of you

Oh OL i have some more specific questions!

I used Javascript to pop-up some new windows (larger versions of screenshots) and to make icons brighter when people hover their mouse over it. When i open the site in internet explodor though, it starts complaining about how my site can harm your computer because activex content can do damage or something silly. Now obviously my site doesn't do anything bad but still i want to get rid of that. Is there something i can do about it? Do those things without having to use javascript? Or convince iexplore that i'm not someone evil?

Went there last year and the year before but not this year. I plan on going again next year (one beer for Klein in a year!~~). I can really recommend going.

Oh dear Blaz why has nobody offered you a bag of money and a job at a million dollar game dev yet!?

Like the others said, the first and last pic show something with potential, the rest of the pictures show a mixture of styles and that doesn't work for me. Also, i think that adding in some rocks could work out well, that would make the whole thing more interesting and less just 1 thing.

Hmmmmmmm interesting idea. I think that i agree. In my opinion, it's much better to have a photo that people hate and that disgusts people than that they just don't care. If a photo makes people emotional in whatever way that's good. The contrast has something but it does kills the pretty part of the photos.

texrefs please

Last one kills it indeed.

I think the museum pictures are a bit bland but i like the rest, pretty colors

You should've invited the Gamme Pi Delta chicks as well

It's kinda hard to do 100 km/h throughout the entire trip even with some strange roads, so good luck!

As far as i know the rest of the people working on RE will keep on doing just that so Metronome will see the daylight

The sky is what makes the pic as good as it is. Keep it like this *please*

He is exaggerating but he sure has a point. Why do people still buy FIFA 2007? All those WO2 shooters are quite alike why do people still buy upgrades, they're not playing better! I think what he's trying to say was that let's say 10 years ago most games had some unique gameplay, nowadays graphics are the main thing.

Oh and i don't think mapcore people qualify as the average gamer.

He sounds a bit overly frustrated but deep down he has a point, about where games are going, about updates of graphics and about if this is good for games or not.

By the way, Friechamp, there's some answers in wattah's link:

-The discount for the UE3 engine is nice but for some companies even a 90% discount will still not get them anymore.

-The other guys at the dev of RealityEngine will keep on working on it.
