Class 8, Assignment 7: World of Warcraft vs JME

While it took a really long time to download WoW, I'm really glad I did. Here are some screenshots of me playing around in it. It has been a long time since I played it (I used to play a little with my dad), and it was fun to play again!

In my opinion, World of Warcraft was far superior to all of the experiences I had in JME. Maybe I was bitter because it took so long to figure out how to even start JME. I thought for sure I was in for a bad experience, but the images and speed were actually pretty good, especially for the brick wall simulation. However it wasn't consistent. I thought the water simulation took a while to load on webstart, and the quality of the image wasn't great. I thought that showcase urban galaxy was a nice looking game, however the level of detail was not on par with WoW.

WoW was better in my mind because of two reasons. Firstly, while it took a lifetime to download, it was well worth the wait! It was super easy to use and get started. Secondly, the image quality and rendering speed was superior to JME. Everything was clear and crisp, and it was also very fast and consistent. WoW was awesome. In my books, WoW was a clear win.
