How satisfied are you with the graphics of the games of the current generation?

[Cyran]

I cant give a straight answer because it depends on a lot of factors

Genre of game
Single vs multi player experience
Method in which the story being told
How visuals are used in the game play

For example if am playing a game that going for realistic graphics and telling a story though a lot of cut scenes then am going to be very very disappointed if the graphics not significantly better then any game that was made 5 years ago.

On the other hand if am playing a MMORPG with friends then as long as the graphics not so crappy that it affecting game play the graphics are basically irreverent for me. It more important the graphics design around the game play in a MMORPG to me.

I also perfectly happy playing a completely animated game and as long as they keep a consistent art style it don't need to be realistic at all.

If a game design a cut scene that by design showing off the graphics of the world then it better be graphically impressive and if you making a game that not graphically advance then take that in consideration of how you structure the cut scenes and where on the screen someone eyes with be drawn when watching that cut scene.

Also pricing matter am going to be a lot more forgiving of a game I payed $10 for then a game I payed $60 for.
