| JaggedSac said: LOL. Pointless arguments. Halo 3 doesn't have anywhere near the best graphics, but it has been the most fun game released this gen. Gameplay is greater than graphics. LOL. Flame on. |
I would (personally) disagree with the most fun game released part but it is an entirely subjective claim (meaning no one can be right on what they pick as the most fun game) ...
What the constant argument over whether the PS3 is more powerful than the XBox 360 really demonstrates is how the "Graphic Whore" gamers are forcing videogame companies into bankrupcy. While the majority of gamers don't (really) care about the tiny differences between what the XBox 360 and PS3 are capable of, and would be entirely happy with Wii-Like graphics (technically simple graphics with few obvious graphical artifacts), the tiny minority of "Graphic Whore" gamers are so vocal about these differences that developers begin to believe that they can't be successful unless they appease these gamers.
With the big games this doesn't matter because a game like GTA will be profitable regardless ... When you're dealing with much more "Average" games, a developer's focus on graphics may take resources away from other elements (gameplay) and they end up with a visually impressive mediocre game that sells poorly rather than a visually mediocre game that plays well and sells decently.
