Besides, the game runs very smoothly and is visually very impressive in motion. In the end, you were comparing different artstyles and making comparision between them. |
I'm guessing you don't know what AA is.
Notice the staircase effect around the window sill, or the triangle banners, and pretty much every where else? That's lack of anti-aliasing.
Textures? That grass to the side looks staright green. Like someone used the paint bucket icon in MS paint. There isn't a lot of texture detail any where you look.
Lighting is hard to judge from screen shots, so I'll suspend judgement on that.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
