| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: I understand that having black bars allows the developers to render more things in the game as well has have better AA and etc but the thing is, I don't like having black bars at the top or the bottom of my monitor when I am playing a game or even watching a movie... I did not buy a Monitor/TV so that a quater of the screen will be taken up by black bars when I play a game or watch a movie. This is specially true for games and I find it very annoying cause it feels like that instead of playing the game at fullscreen, it looks like the game is in "windowed" mode if you get what I mean. And I really hope more games don't do this cause imo, its nonsense. I play games to have a gaming experience, not a movie experience and that includes not having black bars. Heck, if you have a monitor/tv that is cinemawide, then ur even more fucked cause the blackbars will stay no matter what in games where as in movies, the black bars are supposed to go away on cinemawide monitors/tvs |
Why would the letterboxed input be any different whether it's of a movie or a game?
If you don't want a cinematic experience, then a game like The Order isn't for you, since it's intended to be very cinematic. If you don't like your games cinematic, that's perfectly fine. I personally like my games in all kinds of ways, though actually grew up with games that pushed cinematic game boundaries like Prince of Persia, Flashback, Time Commando and Another World. You like visual novels, don't you? Well they're certainly not all about the gaming experience, they're a blend just like cinematic games are a blend.
And what is your opinion of pillarboxed games like Ikaruga and most other shmups?
