| The Ghost of RubangB said: @FinalEvangelion, If the controls don't improve the gameplay experience, they're called "tacked on." Why is it that when graphics don't improve the gameplay experience, they're not called "tacked on?" I could just as easily call any PS360 game a game with gimped controls and tacked on graphics. If a game has the best graphics in the world but bad gameplay, it sucks. If a game has the best gameplay in the world but bad graphics, it's most likely the greatest game ever made. They can improve the graphics in the sequel. Ha! |
@ the highlighted comments
that's not true at all. graphics are more then just character models, how envirorments look, etc.
poor graphics can effect a game just as negatively as poor controls. things like frame rate drops, anti aliasing, clipping, pop up, etc that can cripple a game if not kept under control.
i know you're a huge brawl fan, so let's go with that. if brawl didn't have a frame rate that held up, it would seriously detract from the experience. it would be just as bad as broken controls.
graphics are also very important as a means of conveying things like advanced movement, pyhics, realism (if you're into that), etc.
great, high tech graphics may not be necessary in order to have a great game, but competent graphics certainly are.
