Fair enough if you have both you can differentiate for your own personal gain but where is the point in people who have different consoles arguing over graphics, they'll both probably enjoy the game play just as much.AtticusSP said:
Are you sick and tired of Graphics comparison

Actually, I'm not.
Since I own multiple platforms, graphics often make the difference (since the rest of the game is basically the same). I like to see a comparison in order to make the choice easier for me when I'm about to buy a game.

I think you may have missed the point and I'm not saying that to try argue or anything, I totally agree with your pointXzi said:
Why do you care what the responses to this thread are?sephiroth1991 said:
It can go either one of two ways:
1. The expected way, the socially acceptable conclusion of 'No, graphics don't make a game on their own.' You even pre-empt it in your OP. In which case, woo for you, you hold an opinion in line with the majority.
2. OR it can go the unexpected way, where most people think graphics are more important than gameplay. In which case, woo for you, you hold a minority opinion.
The second question: 'Why do people care about this?' Is equally redundant [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapists-Against-Pointless-Threads]. You know why people would care about graphics, because you appreciate good graphics yourself. You also can figure out why, yourself, some might hold it above gameplay. If you can't, then fine, you'll just have to leave them to their own opinion, because you certainly can't change it over the internet.
How about you try and expand this thread into something more debatable. I can't see how, though, because this whole concept of graphics vs. gameplay is pretty much moot.
I obviously comply with the majority opinion, but only to an extent. Games that are too old seem to genuinely make my eyes hurt.
I honestly like seeing the comparisons. I don't buy based on which has better graphics (I don't even have the new consoles, anyhow), but its nice to see the differences.
Especially what with everyone complaining that X console is better than Y console. I like to be able to see what difference in graphics there is.

It's interesting to see how the technology brings the games to life, down to the minor details so that the developers might be able to make things better in the future, but the elitist bashing of games is ridiculous.
My friends and I played Final Fantasy XIII on the same 52" TV on both PS3 and 360, and had to use a magnifying glass to figure out how they differed graphically. Then we read an article on that very subject that declared that the graphical differences rendered the 360 version "unplayable."
Bull
fucking
shit.

Good graphics don't a good game make. In fact, if anything, spectacular graphics tend to try to compensate for deficiencies elsewhere.
I hate that for a while, people seemed to think graphics were the only sign that a game was good. For a while there we had games that were kind of shiny but sucked otherwise. It seems that now developers are still trying to win the graphics race, but has discovered that graphics don't make the game.
That being said, however, the only time it irritates me is when people get REALLY picky about stuff. I hate it when people come on to a forum and are like "this game has so much screen tearing." Now, maybe it does, but most of the time I don't see it and it's not a game breaking experience. But every so often, you'll get this one guy that swears up and down that it happens all the time or at this one point and says the entire game is completely unplayable because of this one tiny moment.

My argument was just for do people like Graphics comparison, i don't care if you care for graphics more than gameplay. I can't see the diffrence most of the time and it isn't important to me so i wanted to know why people keep on doing it.Danny Ocean said:
The reason i was abit sketchy about my opinion is because i don't want to push my opinon on others, it's like how i think MW2 is shit but if somone likes it i don't condemn then, i like to hear why they like it.
I personally don't care about graphics if i did i wouldn't still play old PS games and PC games, i play them cos i like their storys and gameplay.
I understand that this argument can go both ways but i like to see how many people don't care about it and i like to hear every ones opinion even people who love it.
Pretty =/= good. Some people go on about the graphics, and yeah they are nice, but this the game sucks then who cares.
Just a random thought from my head, I hate the hype they make about graphics around a game and then the game not so good. To test a game you should be able to lower the graphics and still enjoy the game then it is a nice game and you can rant on about the graphics.
No. I have both the 360 and the PS3. If a game comes out on both consoles, I like it when reviewers compare the differences, including the graphics.
No, graphics don't matter as much as gameplay. But if the only difference between picking it up on the PS3 and the 360 is that one looks prettier, you bet your ass I'm going to buy the prettier one. Why the hell wouldn't I?

Of course I am. Who isn't at this point? I personally stop caring about Crysis a long time ago (I'm assuming that Crysis 2 was the inspiration for this)
Graphics can have an important role to play in a game, some game types more than others. THey can help with imersion and similar things.
Igniring any aspect can prove fatal. some game types need to focus on some areas more than others.
AA is not actually a "good" graphics thing, its a tool to hide deficiencies in a graphics engine.

Generally, I don't care about graphics. I'll praise them if they're good, but if they're so bad that I can't help but notice them (Ex. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for Wii), I will bash them. Or the facial animations from Oblivion, which were actually painful to watch.
Other than that, I'll pretty much ignore graphics unless they're simply unbelievable, like with Final Fantasy XIII.

OT: Graphics, in the long run, don't mean shit any more, because they're all at an acceptable level (nothing below that level gets made anymore) and past that, it's about the game itself. People who compare are just trying to justify the purchase of their chosen system over the others (this argument usually comes up when other people appear to be having fun on a system that's not the one that the comparer bought).
I think people are starting to realise that decent, interesting and innovative gameplay trumps graphics every time. I mean, look at Farcry 2, cause that's pretty much all you can do without getting a headache.
