Resident evil 5
Test drive unlimited 2 (not a bad game at all, just worst than the first one, which is a crime imo)

I'm a little curious, in your game collection, you only have Wii games for seventh gen system. Have you played these games as well as the ones you've listed previously and what platform did you play them on? 

I'd say for me:
Spore (really shallow and boring imo)
Resistance 2 (it looked good at the time, but some things like the water physics look awful)
Lair (looked good at the time since there could be well over 200 enemies on screen at once, but the game was awful)
Heavenly Sword (looked amazing! even last year when I played it, the graphics still held up! But I never enjoyed the combat system really :/)
Assassin's Creed 1 (looked great when it came out, but was really repetative)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 (the first game had a good story and not much else, but here, the graphics improved, but everyone else dropped off the face of the Earth)



Around the Network

Uncharted 1,2,3
only scripted events in Uncharted, the shooter parts are really boring and the games are way to focused on the boring Shooter parts, the enemies are always the same, there is nothing to explore nor can you really interact with the environments in the Uncharted Games you feel like you play a rail Shooter.

Resistance 2, really a boring Game 

Killzone 2,3
boring Singleplayer Kampagne(especially Killzone 2 is boring Killzone 3 is a little bit better) and plus the Kampagne modes in both games are way to short.

the God of War Games have always good Graphics but the Gameplay is like in most Sony Games only scripted events and quick time events.

most Sony Games are just overhyped and overrated especially the most hyped Sony Games are the boring ones. Other Games from Sony which are not that hyped like Infamous, Wipeout, Ni no kuni or Demons Souls are way better than the crap Hyped Games from Sony which only rely on graphics.

Final Fantasy 13 also a Game with really good graphics but the Gameplay is way to linear nothig to explore. FF13 is crap compared to the real awesome Final Fantasy Games FF6-10.

 



Uncharted 1-3 - fantastic graphics but interactive movie with almost non-existant gameplay

Fable 2 - beautiful world that lures you in, just to discover that gameplay and all other aspects of the game are upsettingly weak. Only the dog was cool.

Killzone 2 - I wouldn't say bad but it's on the weak side. Cinematic, grey and boring. The heavy, sluggish-in-a-good-way controls are a masterpiece though.

Crysis 2 - Same here. not bad but weak, especially compared to the borderline masterpiece original Crysis.

COD - This series sucked from day 1 and is all about cinematics and the number 1 reason why modern gaming has become so accessible and dumbed down.

Rage - stunning graphics and the 60 FPS is a joy to the eyes. Not a "bad" game but like Fable 2 it lures you in with the impression of a genuine atmospheric wasteland. Gameplay is superficial and it's linear and directed in a more old-fashioned way than say COD.



I say LA Noire. Not excatly a bad game, but the superb facial animations blend a mediocre story and gameplay.



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Great graphics, sucky game 1: Killzone 2
Great graphics, sucky game 2: Crysis (2 is better!)
Great graphics, games I just don't like 1: Uncharted 2
Great graphics, games I just don't like 2: Uncharted 3

Great graphics, great game 1: God of War 3
Great graphics, great game 2: Gears of War


This. I completely agree, although I'd add MGS4 & Killzone 3 and probably Heavy Rain & Red Dead Redemption (haven't finished either yet) as other sucky games with great graphics. I don't like the mentioned games because they're extremely boring and forgettable. I really don't like the Uncharted games at all, they're obviously well-made but they're just spectacle over substance.

As for great games with great graphics, God of War III is easily the best game this generation, it's the only game I've played where you could feel the love and passion the developers put into it and the results are a game that looks, sounds and plays practically perfectly. It's the highest rated, most beloved and best selling hack 'n slash game of all time for a reason. Gears of War blew me away in 2006, I was stunned by the graphics and the gameplay was amazing, GeoW2 was awesome too as was the slightly disappointing GeoW3 (my expectations were way too high). Bioshock was stunning in 2007 and its sequel was great too. Mass Effect games have always had nice graphics and they're amazing games. Nothing has truly impressed me at all since God of War III, even God of War: Ascension isn't exciting me as much as it should but it's probably because I need to see more of it, also I couldn't care less for The last of Us because that just looks like a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested, overly scripted version of Uncharted. What happened to Naughty Dog? They used to be so creative now they make the most generic games. The game I'm most intrigued by is Watch Dogs, which looks like it could be a brilliant game.



Uncharted 1-3

EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!

 

...ahem, OT: I suppose there is a either a tiny graphics whore inside me, or I simply haven't played any shitty games this generation with great graphics. Battlefield 3 comes to mind at first because of its boring (and occassionally: bullshit) campaign, but the awesome multiplayer wouldn't make it a fair vote.



Battlefield 3 and skyrim are the ones that stand out most for me. Graphics are great on both games and designed very well. However personally I found them repetitive and a bit boring. I can maybe add Killzone 3 to that category too. Fantastic graphics but in terms of the overall package it wasn't great. Controls weren't great and the story was weak. Wasnt as good as Killzone 2 was.



I hate Threads like this. Most people use them to troll great games, especially PS3 and Xbox360 exclusives. Games like Gears of War, God of War and Skyrim are obviously great games, and everybody knows that. And I don´t understand what those people wanna achieve by trolling them. There are many very bad games like Homefront and Inversion, but no those idiots keep trolling some of the games.
