Why do people judge games by it's graphics?

There was a game and someone suggested that there should be thumbnails for the game and I told them that the graphics for the game are just too terrible and the thumbnails would be useless because of that.

Then some dumbass called me stupid for saying that the graphics suck.

 

There's two sides to each battle, and then there's the people who aren't tards and aren't on either.

On one side there's the graphics whores - refusing to play absolutely NOTHING but the newest and best looking shit.

And on the other there's the nostalgiafags- refusing to play anything new or pretty cause their childhoods didn't have dat shit.

Both miss out on some of the best software ever coded.

Not that I'm saying every new game is beautiful and revolutionary (Besides being loved by the moronic masses, Halo is pretty much the only reason Microsoft has a console - aka PC w/controller, and most old games are shite too- don't even get me STARTED on some of the fecal dumps that I paid for on my SNES) but you've gotta look at everything to get all the good stuff.

And I forgot another group - the videogame haters, aka my 52-year old dad.

Stole and sold my GC with 2 pads and 20 1st party games back in '05 for $20.

Sold Mario RPG and Kirby's Dreamland 3 for a buck (for both) at a yard sale.

We don't talk about it anymore.

Sorry for OTin there.

Anyways, why do people judge games by grafix? The same reason that Avatar got all of those awards; The moronic masses are told how "cool" and "pretty" the product they're buying is, so they think less of everything else.

 

spider-man web of shadows on the DS has outdated and really bad graphics but that doesn't separate it from being a good game. that game was great. the 3DS is coming out and with updated graphics. why? because there are more graphics whores on the world than there are hardcore gamers. most of the graphics whores here sent complaints to nintendo about the sucky graphics and told them to make it better in the next DS they make. so they did. I really don't care whether nintendo upgrades their graphics or add one of them fancy and unneeded 3D graphics. all that matters is if the GAMES play any good. kid icarus: uprising is looking pretty good but I can't say for sure until I play it.

 

You are ignorant for implying that most of the MS fans are graphics whores, which is a giant generalization. Hell, I've seen a lot of your posts before this, trashing the Xbox. You're not any better than any of these MS fanboys you're speaking of.

So, people aren't allowed to hate Mario? Some people just don't like the games, you can't argue that. In fact, I hate Mario 64, well, hate's a strong word. I dislike it.

I actually bought an Xbox for games besides Halo: Crimson Skies, best version of multiplatform games (Splinter Cell, Battlefront etc), Conker's, Morrowind, Phantom Dust, Ninja Gaiden Black, Mech Assault, Brothers In Arms, Max Payne, Shenmue 2, PGR, Forza, Chronicles Of Riddick, Full Spectrum Warrior, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Jet Set Radio Future, Psychonauts, Unreal Championship, Breakdown along with Halo CE and 2.

Near the end of that gen's life cycle, Microsoft sold more Xboxes then Nintendo sold Gamecubes.

To reiterate a point I made in some posts relating to graphics, some games are suited better to great graphics, games that utilize atmosphere, it's better with good graphics. Story driven games are better suited to better graphics (although hasn't been really utilized lately since most JRPGs this gen suck, and huge gameplay changes are sometimes for the worse). Otherwise it isn't really needed much, but some games are better for it.

 

Graphics is for porn.

Ever jack off to 8-bit?

I did when I was playing custer's revenge LOL

 

Because, obviously, great graphics = bad game, amirite?

 

Wow I just googled that. The start menu is fapworthy.

 

I'd like to add knights of the old republic 1 and 2 to that list.
Theres also fable, burnout 3, battlefront 1 and 2, splinter cell, predator concrete jungle, sniper elite....I could go on for some time...
xbox was every bit as good as ps2, ps2 had a bigger library and ps1 backwards compatability and of course series like final fantasy which fans buy in their millions, xbox started from scratch it was always going to struggle against a playstaion.

and I'm not saying the Xboxes didn't have other good software too, but how the hell the console could survive and THRIVE in only HALF of the market (versus the PS2 and GC which were being bought in both the U.S. and japan) without a huge smash hit in the U.S. is beyond me. Halo sold xbox, and halo WAS the XBOX game.

...don't get me wrong, I've heard of many of those other games too. They look amazing for their time, especially conker. Just that halo pretty much overshadowed and oversold all other XBOX software.

 

Not really.

For Example when GTA III first came out. It had exceptionally good graphics at the time, but it definitely kicked ass because of the game's plot & gameplay.

Also,

I didn't say that Hating Mario isn't allowed, I just cited Mario haters as an example of the Majority who hates kid friendly graphics.

 

Kid graphics, yeah they think anime is for kids alone...

to settle all disputes show dem hentai!

haha, i enjoyed final fantasy 9 and everyone said, they cant even play the game because it has such crap graphics, i mean hello its an awesome game

 

Its basically the same argument as the fanboy one, some people can't see the bigger picture because they are so narrow minded.
I say just let them be, I dont care, im not missing out on anything.
They probably live the rest of their life like that too.

 

sorry its just lots of people i know whore themselves out to fpses and graphics and their the ones with xbox

 

I have an xbox and I mostly play kotor 1 and 2, battlefront 1 and 2, burnout 3 and gladius.
I have only played halo once, 2 player co op with my former housemate and we completed it, neither of us have touched it since.
Same with halo 2 but we never completed it.
I don't know anyone else(offline) that owned an xbox.

 

Well I can't play any car game that has bad graphics.

Its just eww

 

Even as we get older, pretty colors and fantastic shapes still amaze, even over simple logic.

 

ah goddamnit linux better make their move now!

 

Sarcasm, learn it. Your ability of detecting it is terrible, learn me, LEARN ME.

Stop saying kid friendly graphics, it's not a descriptive term, it doesn't, ever describe what the game's graphics look like, at all. It literally means nothing.

 

Back then, Ultima was awesome. Right now, all my peers think it's stupid.
