Have a look a these Final Fantasy XIV maps. Each select that is repeated is marked with a corresponding circle, square, whatever and see what parts of FFXIV appear to be copied and pasted.

[Tadir]

Pretty standard practice.

Liar!

 

[Tadir]

If companies didn't we would spend more than twice as long on the terrain and would never make any deadlines.

[Eeam]

I love me some Kotaku, but sometimes they're just biased morons. T_T Stuff like this is the reason I left IGN.

[Emaraya]

Am I the only one who does not care one bit about the map as long as it is more accurate as the one in LotRO? I mean the graphic of these two places are not similiar are they? So why the heck care about a custom map.

 

*opens her streetmap* "Oh my god all my highways look exactly the same and look this forest it is the same as there. These cheap bastards!"

[Tadir]

No, you're not the only one. Every game does this. It's necessary.

Pretty much, its basically akin to why a lot of anime have scenes where the characters don't move or sit and only speak, it saves a lot of money and gets the product out on time. Cutting corners is fine when you do it right.

Mother Nature does it too. I swear I see the same patch of grass and tree everywhere I go. Freaking real life. Even it isn't realistic :lol:

 

I like how just about every comment on the article is basically ridiculing the author.

I know! The shadows are all wrong!

[Trizzip]

I thought this one comment from there was pretty hilarious.

 

Kotaku should instead investigate about the tear in the time/space continuum because we're playing a bad PS3 port 6 months before the PS3 version is released!

I saw it, and facepalmed. It doesn't matter enough to make me rage.

[Asyria]

Like every single non-instanced cavern or fort in WoW wasn't a copy/paste...

[Emaraya]

Well Warcraft knows alot about production logistics and therefore have regulations for size and architecture of buildings. Saves money and allows a quick rebuild after every orc or legion war.

Like every version of the Maiden isn't the same model with the only difference being her clothes, right?

[ArmachiA]

Ah, the caves. At least I knew how to navigate them the minute I stepped in, regardless of where they were

 

WoW was pretty good at reusing stuff over and over and over and over again

[Siben]

ppfffffttt...typical corner cutting BS. What a cob job.

 

If anyone needs me, I'll be playing a game with non-recycled maps and lovingly detailed instances...City of Her-AHHHAHAHAHAHAAH....aw shit, I almost said it with a straight face.

[Kagato]

I canceled my pre-order and sold all my games. All those texture-copying bastards can go to hell. I'll be fine with tetris.

 

*realizes all tetris blocks are black and fill up the same lines when put together correctly*

 

MY LIFE IS A SHAM!

[Emaraya]

I would recommend Pong if both I . I on the sides were not the same either. Our life is nothing but a failed copy, too.

I did all that and more.

 

I realized the forest near me is FULL of copy-pasted trees so I set a giant fire in the forest to burn them all down. Also I noticed a few clouds in the sky looked very similar, im trying to figure out a way to darken the sky completely! :evil:

Speaking of water...HAVE YOU SEEN THE WATER IN CATA?! Amazing.

Fittingly, as per your avatar, good sir ...
