Galaxy 1 or 2

[Ray Trace]

I wasn't aiming to but ok

 

[Toa 95]

Uhhh, I guess Galaxy 1, mainly because of the fact that you get a second little luma to help you if you choose player 2

That's Galaxy 2.

Galaxy 1 was just a second cursor.

 

[The Shy Guy]

Both of them

that's right, of course. I haven't played them in a while.

*sees topic title; hoping for "Both" option*

SUCCESS! Both are so vibrant and awesome games IMO. The first is a bit dull to me but otherwise nothing to complain about.

>calls both games vibrant
>"the first is a bit dull IMO"

I figured I would need to explain myself.

Yes. Both games have very vibrant graphics.

The dull bit was directed toward how Galaxy 1 has you replay the same crap twice just to get all 242 stars. I dunno about anyone else but I always hated that. It's fine playing as Mario... But when it comes Luigi time, I just can't get myself to do that anymore.(feels like a chore)

So, yeah. I guess that's my complaint despite "NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT EITHER".

 

[Ray Trace]

I would disagree that either of the Galaxy games have great graphics.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

The first galaxy game has a slight edge in graphics because it feels new and fresh, though. And, the models aren't that bad. They're high-poly, especially compared to those abominations in Mario Kart Wii. I'd say that the Mario & Sonic games and the Mario Party games had even higher quality models, though.

 

[Ray Trace]

Well I think the reason people think the Galaxy games have good graphics is that it looks so flashy and shiny and majestic coupled with grand orchestrated music. If you removed the shinyness and stuff it's pretty butt ugly. Especially with the poorly anti-aliased plants.

I mean if you even looked at the Toads close-up, they're really horrible.

hell the graphics dont really look all that different from sunshines if you removes all that shiny and glowy stuff style.

I'd say its wii lack of graphical power but there are some pretty sexy looking games for wii so thats really out of the window there.

 

[Ray Trace]

That's exactly my point. Just look at this:

The flowers are badly anti-aliased sprites, and Yellow Toad's model looks like low-vert count there

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Yeah, they do look like low-end Gamecube models. They don't even have a mouth; it's only a texture.

But, Galaxy 2 didn't even improve it slightly, and reviewers are hailing it as a "graphical triumph" and that other crap.

What's funny is that Mario Party and Mario Super Sluggers had a far better model quality than the Galaxy games. I'm certain all the reviewers are praising are those pretty space skies and the supernatural glow as if the characters emitted their own light.

The sets (I mean, you know, the level design) is nice-looking for some levels, I admit (I have Melty Molten in mind), but the character model quality just sucks.

are you serious

practically every single graphic in existence looks terrible when you zoom in

as long as it looks great from the third person camera, what's the problem?

On that matter, why do the graphics even matter than much?

beauty, style, atmosphere, and quite a few things really.

graphics can also make or break a game for some people as im sure no one wants to go back to atari graphics which only cosnsisted of black and white and such.

pixelated graphics are also pretty irritating.

probably why im generally not interested in playing some games that use that kind of style.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

well, as long as the graphics don't get in the way of playing, it's not really a problem for me

i guess it's because i was raised on the N64?

Spoiler

you kids don't know how good you've got it

um... i was raised on a nes

hell im probably older than you.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

I'm 18. :/ I know graphics isn't everything, but it's the polish that's the difference between a good game and a great game, especially a high-budget one.

Not really, you don't necessarily have to zoom in into the flowers and characters to see how bad it is. It's just that the glowy stuff kinda distracts you from the atrocity of the graphics.

well if you're older than seventeen, then i guess

i'm kinda in the middle of the age group here, there's a lot of younger users and also a bunch of college-age people

i mean, i also played on an SNES and Game Boy Color when i was younger

And besides, the hi-poly graphics in game like Super Sluggers and Mario & Sonic look much better. For instance, the Toads have actual mouths. Oh, and the bad Galaxy graphics can sometimes make a scene from that game laughable *ahem* that scene where Mario's lying in a bunch of flowers in the starting Gateway planet, and the badly anti-aliased flowers are close up.

And for selfish reasons, I prefer Super Slugger models over Galaxy models for rigging, posing, and rendering in 3DS Max.

Okay, that's a fair example.
