Graphics don't matter only applies when the grpahics of your god title isn'tthat great. Nice cop out. It's called a double standard.



So what do you win if your prefered console sells more than another?

No, it only matters when the graphics suck ass and are so bad they ruin gameplay. Halo 3's graphics don't suck; they just aren't as good as Gears of War (so far pretty much the best looking game of this generation). However, Gears of Wars has very closed enviroments and doesn't attempt to make epic enviroments. Halo 3 does that extremely well and runs smoothly. I've been playing the game for the past three days and I can honestly say the graphics are very good. They're not the best of the generation, but they weren't trying to do that. They did manage to make a very immersive enviroment.

If you still think the graphics "suck" play Halo 2, then play Halo 3 right after; and make sure it's on an HDTV. Trust me, there is a big difference. To me the game is fun enough that it doesn't even matter that much. This is just total flame-bait abd completely irrelevant to the overall experience. If the graphics bother you that much because it doesn't look as good as Gears of War, then you are one pissy jaded gamer.

Kinda off-topic, but are there 1080p games on 360?
I still can't believe that Halo 3 isn't 1080p!!

It says 1080p on the back of the case!



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

 And is making absolutes any better? You know it's not the "only" application of the comment. Some fans of games with great graphics don't care that the game has great graphics (in the sense of numerical benchmarks, not art direction). They just want to have fun.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Graphics don't matter. They are nice to have, but not the end-all-to-be-all.

If graphics really mattered to you that much, you must be a PC gamer then.

 graphics dont matter but art style and polish do.  frame rate problems and jaggies are part of polish and upscaling can cause jaggies and the game has a few framerate problems. 



my pillars of gaming: kh, naughty dog, insomniac, ssb, gow, ff

i officially boycott boycotts.  crap.

Halo does have a nice art style, and to me, it's polished enough. I like the vibrancy of the colors in the environment, too. The aliasing, I don't really mind. After playing a ton of different PC games, most of which lacked anti-aliasing, I'm used to the sharp edges cutting up my eyes.



Trust me, when you hear the first Brute order his men "NO INAPROPRIATE TOUCHING MEN!!" you forget all about the periodic glitches. The game is so huge in scope that whatever is left out in presentation is totally made up for in gameplay. Honestly this game would be great on 64, so whatever issues it has graphics wise, not a big deal.

I agree to a certain extent, but at the end of the day great gameplay trumps everything else.

Prime example: GTA3. The animations weren't great, the cars were nowhere near even GT3 levels, and on foot you could clearly see graphical glitches, such as improperly-mapped textures or unjoined meshes where you could see through the polygons into nothingness.

That didn't stop the game from receiving numerous accolades, GOTY awards and critical acclaim, not to mention an almost rabid cult following.  Why?

Gameplay.

 I'm a PC gamer, and graphics aren't the end-all-be-all for me.

 

Why are you stereotyping?
