Wow you totally missed the point about the point he was saying. Please try to limit your stupidity in the future.

Now though I don't totally agree with him, as I think the game has good gameplay too, and the graphics just add to it, but for the idiots that can't be bothered to actually read the first post, he isn't saying the graphics on the game are bad, nearly quite the opposite.

He's stating that firstly a game cannot be solely based on a good graphics system, but must integrate good gameplay amongst other things, to make a good playing experience.

He also states that though the graphics are not "bad", it's the fact that when a game goes so hand in hand with realism, and the graphics of the game are so realistic and like real life, they literally become dull, and at a level, I agree with him on this.

It's the fact that the whole reason that we play games is that they aren't like real life. Real life, at many times, is dull and boring. If anyone here has ever played the game The Getaway, I think that's a great example... The graphics on it really made the game a bore for me. Sure they were really realistic, much more realistic than Vice City (it's main opposition at the time) but being set in London, it was all so dull grey and black. Yes it was real, but it was no fun, and I'd much rather be seeing the bright fun graphics of Mario Kart. This is what he means when he says he's rather see 8-BIT oldschool graphics than new, boring stuff.

Now as I said, I don't totally agree, as this game seems to have some sweet gameplay, and not all the graphics seem to be a bore (though I can certainly sympathise with his thoughts)... But I was more posting because some idiots on this thread had absolutely no idea what he meant, and thought he was saying the graphics weren't that good as in they're level of rendering.

This is the same reason I choose to still play Tony Hawk over Skate.

Would you rather do this..

Or...

This.

[*sarcasm]Man, I sure want to ride around on a skateboard in a video game because its so realistic..and man, thats fun. It's so exiting riding around on a board and not doing sweet tricks *[*/sarcasm]

The graphics in D2 are somewhat "dull" and colorless, but its an excellent game and I can't stop playing it, no matter how old it gets. Again, you aren't using great examples are you? EVERY game has at least one wall in it. Half-Life 2 has walls, it has excellent graphics also, but the thing is, you don't focus on the walls, do you?

... I get around with 1GB RAM, nVidia 7600GT and AMD Athlon 4200+. Not the 'best' specs, but they run everything smoothly, and I do run a lot of programs.

EDIT:

CRYSIS GFX ARENT DULL

Unfortunately i can't agree with you on that. Skate. is awesome! Way better than Tony Hawks, i LOVE the flickit system. Anyway, try comparing Tony Hawks: proving ground to Skate., Skate. owns it.

Skate looks like shit ... lol.

I played Tony Hawks 2 when I was younger though, so I can't complain.

However, the newer Tony Hawks games are much better than the original
