Why i was disappointed by MK8's graphics.

Like i said to someone else, it's not a genuine comparison. I'm just using DC and MK8 as points of reference for comparison of the universal graphical aspects of almost all 3D games, such as the polygon counts, textures, AA, AF etc. For example I wouldn't criticize MK8 for not having realistic road textures, but i would criticize it for them being low rez/murky.

As an overall package i do find MK8 a lot more pleasing on the eyes than DC, but this was a comparison of the technical side of things. The thread was primarily about the willful ignorance of some Nintendo fans here, which wasn't much of an issue during the 7th gen.

In the 7th gen Nintendo had to rely on art direction to make their games look great. When the WiiU was released i was exited to see how good a game could look with a combination of Nintendo's artistic skill and high end console graphics. It's a hope that started with 3D Mario then moved to MK8 and now lays in the hands of Zelda >.< 

Regardless to my ranting, MK8 itself will no doubt be great ^^

how can someone downplay 3d world and MK8 graphics?

Because I don't find them impressive?

I know, i know, it's a hard thought to handle. How could anyone possibly not be impressed by that incredible basic edge detection AA that most developers moved on from several years ago?! And who even needs arthroscopic filter, that stuff is sooo last gen. I much prefer my textures blotched out.
