Well, maybe it shouldn't be since that has nothing to do with the actual technical portion of the visuals, but art direction is so influencial in what you see that it's impossible to separate it. Really, I keep wondering why there is so much praise for the new Sonic game (for those that aren't somehow amazed that those are actual Wii graphics) while I think it look like crap. I'm willing to admit it's because the art style sucks so bad and shows that they put no attempt into making the world actually seem alive, but the graphics aren't stunning to me in anyway because they look so lazy outside of a coupe of nice lighting techniques. On the otherhand, in terms of actual processing Ookami takes very little yet it looks absolutely fantastic.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
