Given the choice, I am always going to pick a game with stylized graphics over realistic ones. This is for many reasons; it’s partly because “realistic” so frequently means “bland and filtered over with brown” and partly because a game with realistic graphics is much more likely to look bad in a decade than one with stylized models. But first and foremost, it’s just because I like to be able to look at a screenshot and say that it came from a very specific game, that it couldn’t be mixed up with any other title. There are a lot of games that wind up looking… well, pretty close to one another.

Think visually
Anyone else weirdly pleased with the visuals?
So I'm a bit late to the party but I've just seen the pre-alpha gameplay and I didn't like it for the first 5 mins of the game but then it really grew on me.

I mean it's not the best/most intense graphics out there, but it doesn't have to be and it also kind of remind me of Diablo 2 (if it good a huge upgrade of course). But yea, any other opinions on this? … [Read more...] about Anyone else weirdly pleased with the visuals?

The chef, the curator, the innkeeper—these people have always had a vested interest in your comfort, your enjoyment… your experience. Today, however, ‘UX’ is most often applied to software applications and websites. How easy is it to navigate a site? Is there a steep learning curve to using the site/application? How frustrating is it when the user makes an error? Is the site trustworthy? Do users find what they expect? Do they get what they need?

They get so caught up trying to create a hallmark for their product or service, that they forget to tell the prospect how the offer can actually benefit their life.
