And you know thats the exact face they wanted to go with how? All I and a lot of other people see it as is lazy design work. For a game with such a huge fan base i'd think they could have put a little more effort into the reveal of one of the main characters hidden faces throughout 3 games. It would be like just using some basic stock photo and making it paler to reveal the master chief. People would be outraged over that, and its kind of the same deal here.

Like, hell Adam, would you rather spend weeks designing a face from scratch - or would you rather just change around the parameters of a real photo in photoshop, and just add the requested features to it.

If I was an artist for a popular game, yes I would spend weeks creating this piece of art that would be viewed by millions of people, unfortunately I suck at art and photoshop so theres not much relevance for me here.

I just see it as a moot point as to where or how they got the picture. How does it change anything if they took the picture themselves, or if someone says "Hey, I found a stock photo that would work perfectly. I mean, if we were to get a model, we'd get this girl or a girl very similar to her anyways, and probably have her in a similar pose anyhow, so this just saves all of us some time, and money."

The main difference I see in it is that if they did the picture themselves, it shows they put the effort into it to show their fans that they are dedicated to the masterpiece they have created, instead of picking a photo seemingly at random and modifying it. Its like if a band came out with a new album, but it was just the same song again but changed differently, like ACDC or Red Hot Chili Peppers. We still like them but kinda feel a bit gipped in the sense that its already been done.

The internet is decimating proper conversation, and it's bugging the shit out of me. Everything now is all about getting your one-liner in, and "fuck the other guy." It's not about the content of your message - and hell - you're probably not reading the other guys' shit anyways - you just want to mock someone over the internet to try and get other assholes to like you! Yeah! Internet popularity! They'll just edit out that part of the post as if it had never been said, and simply focus in on the talking points they want.
Damn internet. I need a joint now. Yes, that's what I need.

The reason for this is you love cocks. Bam!
If you were actually referring to me not quoting/responding to the other half of your first post on this topic its cause it seemed to be going off topic and I didnt feel the need to argue against that.
