So just to clarify this, and correct me if I'm wrong:

This is a PC website, comparing the game to PC quality graphics, and attempting to drive home the point that all console games look shitty compared to PC. Nowhere is it mentioned how the game stacks up to current console games.

Next, this is probably the same goddamn video we were all "ohh"ing and "ahh"ing about 2 goddamn days ago when it first game out and all we could talk about was how good it looked.

And now....and now...calm down...and now, we take this as evidence and implication that the graphics in Crysis 2 are bad compared to other console games, on nothing but the vague and unsubstantiated claims which don't even vaguely imply anything about comparisons to other console games.

Each of us have the ability to reason.

 

Wanna hear some stupid shit? Last generation, the same playstation fanboys existed. Not the general idea of them, but the exact same people. These people then, argued that graphics didn't matter, just the games mattered. At the beginning of this generation, these exact same playstation fanboys, when presented with ugly ports said, "graphics don't matter, we get to play the game, who cares if we have a few less polygons." What have they become if not hipocritical? Playstation 3 fanboys are now WORSE graphics whores than the elistist PC fanboys.

Thing is, if the PS4 had the shittiest graphics next gen, they would champion the console just as much. I see that as more of a commentary on fanboyism as it relates to purchasing decisions, and post purchase justification, rather than a  commentary on graphic whoring.

This gen is almost over. What happens when graphics reach diminishing returns, and it is impossible to distinguish between high end graphics on any available machine? Afterall, Consoles don't need to render anything over 1080p, and the PC is already to the point where developers are adding super high resolutions without pushing graphics cards, because they don't have the money to program the game to look good enough to push the gpu at 1080p.

Graphics are graphics, and they are as unimportant as they ever were. Games are what matters, and playstation fans knew that last generation, but I pick on the Playstation guys too much. I think it's because there are a lot of outspoken ones, and I can't help it. However, you must admit there is a huge hipocritical blunder here. How many of you Playstation 3 fanboys were Xbox fanboys last gen, because of graphics? None of you right? You are just playing the cards you are delt.

The PS3 game library is very good and compare to their competitors without talking about graphics.
