"Do Graphics make a difference?"

When you sit down in your chair and play your beloved game, you all know that we think about many things whilst we are playing. Now i know i will be called a "shallow" gamer but i think that if you ask yourself honestly then you may find that you agree with what i say.

Everyone goes on about how they don't care about graphics, which i think is wrong, we all look at our games and if they are spectacular then we think wow, like when you see the first cut scene in FFX or the detail on Raiden's face in MGS2.

Now you are all sitting there thinking i don't care about graphics.

Well ask yourself this, if FFX came along looking like FF6, i know that some of you would be put off, but hardcore FF fans would stick to it. Now how many of you have said the graphics on that are "well good!"?

Do not get me wrong, gameplay is very important to me but i have been put off Zelda by the graphics as many people, now i know you are all disagreeing but hey, my opinion and i dislike cel shaded graphics. Zelda will be a great game in it's own but had it have been like the demos shown when the GC was the dolphin (project name) then it would have attracted many more people!

I know that some will agree and others will disagree but i just wanted to get my opinion over.

Sir Auron

I think graphics do make a difference in some cases.

If Mario was a really gritty, realistic affair, it would lose it's touch now, wouldn't it?

Klonoa 2 really came alive thanks to it's graphics i felt, and that is probably the best example. Also, the forthcoming Onimusha 2 really sets the scene well, and Ico wouldn't be right without the damp atmosphere.

Then again, Zelda, Final Fantasy and many others are good to play whatever they look like.

It varies from game to game. I think on a whole graphics add a lot to games.

Maybe graphics. Don't give a soo much feel to the game.

Hello i've come to say hello Sir A, your needed in the GS forum by me.
By the way Ashley or what ever your name is, stop critising Sir Auron.

Just out of interest. lol

yep, sorry, only winding you up








But i still think its camp










lol

Now can we stop?

It is pointless and i don't wish to hold a grudge against anyone!

Not really, and it is really annoying/ pathetic when you do things like that! copy the whole of my text and add a few words.

I just don't see why you even started this as it is pointless and stupid, but hey, what ever floats your boat!
