My friend whines about everything. (Video Game related)

I really hate the way he criticize FPS games and graphics.

For instance, saying every game made of Unreal Engine are too shiny, don't get it what he means by too ''shiny'' and it makes him going seizure and so on.

Other parts saying every single games aren't focusing too much on stones, yes i said stones as rock. Saying ugly stones makes the whole graphics unrealistic and so on.

He agrees CryEngine is the best engine ever, but he still whines about the stone and the Jungle in Crysis doesn't look so natural and real as he expected, and yet once again the stones.

Oh, we came into a discussing regarding FPS games and he says he really don't like FPS games much and cricize for it's repetitive gameplay style.

What i really don't understand about him is the stone and the Unreal Engine being too shiny? Any others around here feeling the same as him and would like to give me a explanation?

Thank you for reading.

when your friend says he doesn't like "shiny" do you think he meant by its lighting effects? I think that lighting effects can make a game look "shiny"TheShadowLord07

Hmm, must be.

See this picture, the Statue is too ''shiny'' for him.

Any ideas?

And Grim, lol your comment on stones.

I think you should just let it go. Who cares about stones or shiny graphics? As long as you love FPSs and appreciate them, who cares what others think?

People think I'm wierd because I play Puyo Pop on my DS but I don't care because I enjoy puzzlers.

Obviously he doesnt know what SUPERB graphic means.He can return to Unreal Engine 1 anytime.

How he criticizes FPS games and graphics?

Jeez, for a second I thought you were my friend.

But hey, your friend is alright. Always nice to meet someone who isn't a mindless sub-normal Halo/COD fanboy who drools over graphics and has no respect for real games

I kind of agree with your friend.

Many games right now have shiny graphics, which is indeed unreal.

And yes, FPS sucks. Too repetitive and there is not much to do. All you do is walk around and shoot. No time to explore, not much story, can't speak with NPCs, etc etc.

Many of you agree and disagree. For one i agree with UltimaSlayer94 & skp_16 regarding FPS games such as Halo&CoD which is nothing impressive. But upcoming FPS/TPS such as GoW2, Killzone 2, They and Half Life 2 EP3 is real shooters. And regarding ''No time to explore, not much story and can't speak with NPCs that list would all go to a RPG game am i right? Shooters are mostly for going around and gun down people, and in any shooters game ''Weapon'' is the most important factor in any shooter games.

& Viewtiful26 yeah his favorite genre is RPG and he told that he is expecting a FPS to have deep story, much larger place to explore and the ability to speak with NPC. Bioshock, Stalker, Oblivion and Fallout 3 is a game for him, but unfortunately Bioshock didn't imperssive him enough due to ''All the enemies looks the same and act like any other AI's in FEAR''
''The Graphic is too shiny'' & ''Sucky story'' which i so disagree with.

@ Covenant117: lol maybe, he has a PS3 and Wii so... :P

Wizdom&ASK_Story: Yeah, i really try to ignore but whenever we play FPS at my house or something this guy whines instantly. And one of the worst he hates to lose lol, whenever he lose he goes all mad and sad mood.

I just want to try to find a argument to counter his stupid criticizing you know. CryEngine didn't help, nor did the new IDTech5 but he said Super Mario Smash Brawl has better graphic which is of course a huge LIES.

Maybe you should keep letting him win so that he won't whine anymore.)

That's the reason why I don't like FPS. :)

skp_16

hold on there! not speaking with NPC's might be a good thing.

who said there was a lack of story in FPS's?

in alot of games, its war, and looking at the pretty flowers aint gonna turn out good.

oo

crysis.

you can look at the enviroment.

Tadaa!

I criticize FPS's all the time, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them.

I never liked the forced gameplay in Goldeneye, but I loved the forced structure of the Rainbow Six series. The AI for R6 has just recently caught up to player level, and yet I love the interface so much that I don't mind it being border-line sci-fantasy. But when a rocket launcher doesn't blow up a car, I too get upset at the laziness of developers (unless it already blew up and they were even lazier by not changing the graphic animation).

FPS's do need to focus less on enimies and more on environment, the several games that have (Portal, Bioshock, BattleField: Bad Company) have all done tremendously well because of it. Show your friend those, and then show him previews to Dead Space and Mercs 2. If he/she still has gripes, then I wish them good luck.

EDIT: heh, I originally said Army of Two was an environmental game, I regret the misinformation.

The thing is...stones are just so important and don't get the credit they deserve.grim1813

Agreed.
