Yes but there are always differing interpretations of realism, just as there are different perceptions of reality? Isn't that so?  |
Sure, but what Cunnutazzo seems to be saying is that realism is simply not possible in a game. He attempts to support this by saying that games can't be real (even though reality is not the same thing as realism), and by calling me 'The Taliban'. His argument is totally wrong and misleading, and the hyperbole he uses in an attempt to cloud the fact that he's been caught with his trousers down shouldn't have a place in a forum such as this. Even if his argument (which is based on a complete misunderstanding of grade school English) had any merit, to equate any member of the forums with the Taliban is not only ludicrous, ham-fisted and disrespectful to the thousands of victims of the real Taliban (who would rather spend their time figuring out ways to decapitate women than participate in internet forums), but it's blatant trolling.
