People need to get back to the whole reason we picked up control pads to begin with. Games are fun to play not because they are pretty to look at.

Don't take it so hard. Sure, there are people who delve way too much into this, but they're either looking for a reason to troll it anyway, or buy into anyone saying "best graphix evar!!!1" way too easily.

Some of us are just genuinly interested in the technology powering the games we play though, and knowing the technological makeup of a game isn't really going to change anything about the quality of the game for us.

I know some people enjoy looking at the visuals of some games, I for one enjoy watching flOwer in action and FF13 as well as Uncharted 2 have had moments where I've stopped playing and thought..."wow", but what I really don't get is people who latch on to every exclusive and label it best graphics eva!!! If it wasn't Killzone 2, it was Uncharted 2 then it's God of War 3. On the other side of the coin, Metro 2033, Alan Wake and as I said earlier, I look forward to Reach threads popping up.

What REALLY annoys me is when a bandwagon is formed for a game thought to be 360 exclusives (Splinter Cell, Mass Effect 2, Brink) are hyped to infinity and beyond and called best graphics eva contenders but the moment a whisper appears that it might appear on the ps3, all support for it is dropped and it's like it never existed.

A part of me thinks that if AW was multi, Selnor wouldn't actually be helming the bandwagon...just a theory but whatever.

Yeah, the whole dick measuring contest of "best graphix" is pretty silly, no matter who starts it.
