Are you sick and tired of Graphics comparison

Sometimes there is a major difference but as long as the game is good then I don't care. Most games have comparison between 360, PS3 or PC. PC usually comes out on top so it's between PS3 or 360 but the difference is so petty, like, I can see a few extra leaves on that tree petty, it is only the true fan boys that take up this fight.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic and imitating a fanboy or you're just ignorant. PCs look better (obviously). The difference between the 360 and PS3 a few years ago was that no one knew the PS3 architecture while developing for the 360 was similar to developing for the 360. Hence, the 360 looked better than the PS3 for most multiplatform games.comadorcrack said:
Nowadays, they're equal, with the PS3 coming out a tiny bit on top. But as long as the framerate is smooth, it doesn't matter. However, when Crysis 2 comes out, I'm sure people (read: fanboys) will use it as the ultimate proof of their console's superiority.
"Yeah, well, Crysis 2, the most graphically advanced game ever, runs better on X than it does Y. Irrefutable proof that console X is better! Console Y sucks and is for noobs!"
And the truth of the matter is, the only thing it proves is how much effort the developer put into learning the ins-and-outs of each console's architecture.
As long as the game is fun and not broken on either console, graphical comparisons are pointless to me.
Lil Column A. lil Column B. I wasn't trying to so Either actually. But apparently so.Mr. Mike said:
I didn't include the PC purposefully because of course it looks better.Mr. Mike said:
Agreed. What I was trying to say was there is little difference, but 360 usually comes out a lil bit better cos it is used as the lead console. (I was also being a little bit bitter as I have a PS3).Mr. Mike said:
Agreed again. Not much to elaborate on.Mr. Mike said:
Pretty annoying when people do that. So what? I've already decided which version I'm going to buy because I already own that console. Now you're just encouraging people to engage in pointless console wars.
Look, I'm lying if I say graphics don't matter.
I can't play N64 games, or any full 3D game from years ago, without EYE BLEEDING. Which is a shame, because I never owned an N64, and the virtual console opened up my options. But Super Mario 64 is just so fucking ugly. And so is Ocarina of Time.
I can play games like FF7, with prerendered backgrounds easily, though.
As for current graphics, I can't tell the difference between 360 screens of FF13, and the "supposedly better" PS3 screens.
And I usually have an eye for this stuff.

I'm personally tired of graphics being used as a point of argument in comparing games and platforms.
One of my mates at school said he likes the original halo still but he can't play it because of the "terrible" graphics, this same mate told me to get a 360 because my families wii has "terrible" graphics and brought up no other reasons why. People have become to obssesed with graphics and not gameplay with the latest generation of consoles.

Yeah I am, a bit at least. I can still say that my Pokemon Red on Game Boy (classic) is better than my Assassin's Creed >.> As mentioned on earlier posts, graphics don't make a game. But I can say that if the game has nice graphics, it's an nice extra.
As username Onyx Oblivion mentioned that he couldn't see the difference with FFXIII's PS3 and Xbox360 pictures and I have to say, I couldn't see the difference either. Although the pictures were taken on cutscenes (my pictures at least). As only the cutscenes we're well-compressed(the right word? Can't recall the real one then) for Xbox360 and the rest was just compressed to fit the capacity. The gameplay itself might have some more difference. (Don't know, only got PS3 version.)

That would be great if it actually happened. But I can't remember the last time I ever heard anyone talking about what game engine would be better suited to a game. It's always staring really hard at the screenshots to see the slight extra jagged edge that makes that version inferior in every way.Audio said:
I swear some of the differences people see are totally psychosomatic. They want to believe theirs is better, so they either only see flaws in the 'opposing' platform(s), or they refuse to acknowledge the same flaws in their own. It's a very sad case of insecurity, based around a video game system. What a joke.
If the game is playable (read: framerate greater than 20FPS) then the graphics don't really matter to me. Games like Crysis with it's revolutionary engine that would melt most processors in it's time are nice, but I end up not being able to play such things at higher settings as I have a pretty average graphics card. If some settings are put up too high I find that they may actually detract from gameplay, on Modern Warfare 2 I ended up turning DOWN some of the settings just so that I could use Ironsights more effectively as the AA ended up blurring everything too much.CriticalGriffin said:
Graphical comparisons between the 2 consoles don't matter unless it's some game-breaking issue, if there's only a small difference (as there is on Assassin's Creed 2 between the consoles, one review I watched had someone complaining that there was a slight texture-draw difference between 360 and PS3 and this annoyed me to no end). In my opinion, if you like a game that is single-console specific (like inFamous) or you like one of the controller designs more, go buy that console, don't annoy everyone by complaining that "X's graphics look slightly better, I want that version instead!" It's like saying "your sandwich has one more millimeter of meat in it, give it here!".
tl;dr - Yes, I AM sick and tired of Graphics comparisons.
Disclaimer: I do not own either the PS3 or the 360 (only a PC), but I have friends that do.
To me it boils down to this: On consoles it generally doesn't matter because games are optimized to run smoothly. On PC, however, it matters because how a game runs depends on your system and having crap framerates (<25) or having to run at really low resolution and texture quality and really take away from a game. Obvioulsy it may still look nicer than an N64 game, but those games were made to look that way and they were designed around the limitations. Artificially limiting the graphics quality due to a sup par system is a different matter and makes what should be a pretty game look like utter horse crap.
People who are not intelligent enoguh to judge a game based on its important attributes sink to judging and comparing games based solely on graphics. Most likely the same kind of people who would choose a partner for a relationship purely based on looks and without taking into account personality.sephiroth1991 said:
Personally I like to see a game with nicely done graphics but I'll still happily play something which doesn't have good graphics if the game is fun to play. A prime example being MetalGearSolid for the PlayStation Original which I still play to this very day. I played Some Batman: Arkham Asylum and then went and played MGS and even though one looks beautiful and the other looks blocky and old I still enjoyed playing both of them equally.
