I would be laughing if I wasn't crying^^

Yup. Exactly. Mona Lisa was a paid portrait, and thus had to be realistic. Picasso's stuff was art, and thus could be whatever the painter wanted it to be.
We had mona lisa (as realistic as could be), and now we have amateur picasso (dunno what I'm doing, stop complaining it's avant garde).

Yea no its crap. It's like natural ice or keystone. Cheap beer for punk rockers to get trashed on pretty much lmao
what i am trying to say is even when they get it working some will like it others wont and there is no fix for that problem
I like Rolling Rock myself
We are trying to get it working. That's the whole point of mentioning the problems.
And no, it's not about taste. We are not discussing art, but a game. You have realism (or not), you have material config, you have fps counter, you have expectation related to the other games around.... It's not art.
Some game are art, in their way, ED is not. It's an immersive space sim.
If planet look like melted ice cream with 2011 texture haphazardly slapped on them, it's not art. It's trash.
My son was born in Latrobe. We used to go to the real nice park just by the brewery & bottling plant. Good times. Latrobe is a really nice suburb. I definitely felt out of place there (as with most places)
I know what planets you are talking about I have come by i think 5 of them out of 3 tb of footage
Something tells me there are quite a few people who could never possibly dislike anything frontier is willing to throw in their general direction, so I don't think you have much to worry about in that regard. If things are supposedly better than before when obviously broken, just think how much better they will be once fixed.
It was only one issue. Lots of them, I posted some screenshots before, and didn't even post the "minor" issue like how they replaced actual terrain feature with textures, how they are placed haphazardly, the repeating tiles issue, the repeating craters which is way too obvious and repetitive, and so on.
I have 2 screenshots with glaring problems that were thrown at me by people defending the planet generation by sending me "pretty world".
I don't count all the screnshot of someone's feet or too dark to see anything.
yeah I dont like the way horizons planets look

Comments from this very forum bewail Odyssey because Horizons didn't have issues... The blinkers remain, even when the same sort of evidence that 'damned' Odyssey in their eyes is presented...
Even up until the release of Odyssey there was continued complaining of how bug-ridden Horizons was, short memories indeed.
Odyssey has issues, which have at least been acknowledged by Frontier (it still remains to find out exactly what actio they will take, only time will answer that) of which planetary tech is just one. Lets not pretend that Horizons was without issues and that Odyssey is the 'red-haired stepchild'...
I don't think anyone who has been playing long enough is under the impression that Horizons is/was without bugs. It still has many bugs that have gone unresolved for a number of years.
Odyssey just unnecessarily adds a whole new layer of them on top.
so call it quits and stop working on it?
You are wrong, but a pleasant consideration nonetheless.
Odyssey is the red haired stepchild though.I mean, more beige haired right now.
Horizon had issues, but not at this scale. I didn't have problem with repeating pattern or the big crater. Most likely because I didn't see it. Which is literally all I ask because it was better hidden. I know game are magic trick, I'm just asking to not see the mirrors.
We had a "repeating tiles issue" the day after release. It proved popular on reddit, here and even amongst well known content creator (Exigeous, Yamicks, OA).
I don't remember the melted ice cream effect on horizon. Bland terrain, yes. Not that bad though.
I don't remember the jagged mountain "heightmap artifact".
I don't remember using texture instead of terrain feature, and plop it randomly, even when it doesn't make sense.
I don't remember canyon that look like some kid got a large part of the cream with his hand.
I don't remember planet being super duper flat with random "mountain" here and there.
I don't remember the "camo" looking patterns in the ground.
I don't remember the "lillypad" pattern on ice
I don't remember the 2011 looking textures
And that's what I can think from the top of my head.
Maybe all those bugs existed. But not at this scale. Not so common, and certainly not ALL TOGETHER. And if they did, they were so well hidden I never notice.
And before you say "rose tinted glass", I only played horizon a few months before Odyssey.
Right now, it's so bad I don't want to explore. Distant world 3 was cancelled. OA has voiced his concern (and he is very positive usually). And more.
I've seen that a fair bit in Odyssey when trying to land in rough terrain, never seen it in Horizons though. I have had a similar situation in Horizons with the SRV where the radar terrain disappears on steep slopes although there is no other change to the sound or behaviour of the vehicle.Terrain is working as intended. The drives are always meant to artificially power down when the ship thinks you are about to land on terrain that no longer exists at an elevation of NEGATIVE 1.
Describing the terrain as working as intended is a bit of a stretch though
Clearly it's unintended behaviour, that the issue may be with the ship or the terrain (or both) doesn't mean it's not still unintended. Not a high priority but still another thing that needs ironing out
