why does it look like a model from 2003

>>382233473
I'm okay with the interpretation of mermaids that makes them out to be horrible monsters

>>382233473
Mermaids are terrifying creatures of the deep.

There's a difference anon. Problem is some devs get confused, thinking that when people say their art looks like shit that they mean their style is shit. You can have fucking horrible art styles, but unless there's a reason why you're designing it that way you can't use style as an excuse for unpleasing visuals.

I get that pirates aren't going to be models, anyone resorting to piracy is most likely going to be rather ugly, but what the hell?
Has the modeler never see a human before?
Fucking basic human anatomy, eyes are supposed to be at or a little bit above the halfway point of the head
The way their eyes are positioned looks like they have microcephaly
And those goddamn noses, are they part bloodhound? There is no reason to have a nose that takes up more than a third of their facial height
This isn't creating a game style, this is just terrible modelling with nobody to tell them it's terrible

>>382233950

SJW shit with ugly women, bad graphics and probably horrible gameplay, avoid.

That fatty in the right has a crooked nose, maybe a feature in the game is that you can break noses in combat.... Idk, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. The game, from what I've seen so far looks absolutely atrocious in the 'style' department. Only other thing I can think of to justify the unpleasantness of the image is a possible gameplay feature.

Your reward is that they don't mess with you while you're on your own objective. I don't think they'll actively reward people for sinking ships. At most you'll probably be able to recover some part of it's cargo and maybe treasury if it didn't sink in deep waters

>>382234637
This.
Also note how the eye patch don't even sit right, the eye supposed to be in the center but it's clearly too low (the eye patch is actually at the right position, it's the other eye that's too height).

Looks like amature modelers desu.

Yes, Ching Shih was a Chinese prostitute who married a pirate captain and inherited his fleet when he died. She went on to become quite possibly the strongest pirate of all time.

I have no problem with this. It's not like pirates were particularly good looking people.

Bad graphics in a modern game is usually a green flag

Creating Horizon or Battlefront tier graphics costs insane amounts of money and time and most of the time the game has to focus all its development and money on the graphics which results in garbage gameplay.

This is what kills the video game industry because the devs spend all their money and workforce on creating realistic graphics but then put the gameplay to the side, but normies will still buy it because normies only care about super realistic graphics. It's easier to make a shit game with good graphics than a great game with shit graphics.

But a shit game with good graphics will always sell and make profit from normies who buy any garbage with good graphics.

This is exactly the reason why old games are better, because the main focus was on gameplay, and the graphics didn't matter at all.

And their emperors literally came from the gods.

Truth about female pirates have been greatly extaggerated with the years. Take Anne Bonny. She never were some fearsome pirate. But the lover of a pirate captain. When he was executed, she literally lost all influence and had to fuck random jailors until she got pregant to get out of death penality. Then nobody ever heard about her again

The graphics did matter, they always did. Everyone had a hard-on for the 16-bit and later the 32-bit and so forth graphics. Compared to now, the market was smaller, so they had to make great games to make money.

only people complaining about this are shipwrecked goobergaters and anime posters, or both. Whats important is whether I can have fun as a pirate

Actually that isn't worse than the other one, which would still insult the brain even if it wasn't drawn in that horrible style and without making the monsters "diverse humans".

This. If I ever hear the developer say "lol fuck graphics, it's for fags, real men care about gameplay", whatever the game that they're making is, it will automatically be on my watch list, even if completely not my type of genre

As someone who has been playing the weekly play sessions, the game is actually very beautiful. Stills don't do the water aesthetics justice, it reminds me of a more cartoony Dishonored in terms of female characters.
