Crash Physics

Cody, we don't really care so much about what you think about this game. The game doesn't need you to evolve neither.

[pepsiman89]

Giving a game good-looking graphics won't make it "realistic".

Uhm... ofcourse it does. Say, does the current jumper model look good to you Cody, or would you prefer one that has 25 polys and looks like s**t? It woudnt make the game any less realistic... OFCOURSE IT WOULD.


You seem to be criticizing this game so much... why do you even play it?

I never said I don't like the game, I love it.

I loved how you said "tries"

all forms of simulation is attempts. there is no complete and perfect simulation, because computers do not - truly - consider randomness. thus only extremely focused and simple things may be simulated perfectly.

There will never be a perfect simulation of the world, because the simulation would have to include itself.

O... kay. o.O

That's what I'm trying to say here..

then what you are trying to say and what you are in fact saying are two very different things, as you were clearly stating (on page one of this thread) that DSJ wasn't realistic, and that approximating reality doesn't make things realistic - which is absurd, considering that the very definition of realism is approximating reality.

Oh please, could you quote where I said that? I can't find it.

Man Cody, youre a real ass.

In my opinion, all games are unrealistic.

OK.


here you say that DSJ is unrealistic, as well as going to state that in fact *all* games are unrealistic:

No.

(in response to someone who said that DSJ is realistic)

In my opinion, all games are unrealistic. Especially this one.

here you say that approximating reality is not the point of realism:

Making the game act how it would be in real life won't make it ..."realistic".

you could however easily have found these posts yourself if you could be bothered to look on the previous page of this thread.

Now okay, what's your point?
I've said that DSJ is unrealistic, just like every other game, too.
Is that a problem to you?

[alexander]

my point is that your understanding of what constitutes realism is lacking or just wrong. realism equals approximating real life. DSJ attempts representing real life ski jumping, and to a great degree actually succeeds - thus it is realistic. and so are loads of other games.

[Cody Hann]

I disagree.

you guys want to stop this off topic ? please
