Yeah, only for them to say "Why did I waste my money on this sh*t, I'm buying a PS3." :)

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

Well for me Nintendo is fun cause i can relive my childhood a lot thru it. But for more hardcore I go with Xbox 360 and one in a blue moon PS3. Nintendo has the nostalgic hold on me that i love.

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

I dont see why people say the Wii has bad graphics.

Bad Graphics is in my opinion a game, that tries to be detailed in terms of high polygon counts etc, and fails at it.( Prime Example )

While the Wii, never tried to be all that detailed anyway.

So it's not bad graphics the graphics are just "different"

So they get a free ride based on the law "If we try to make a sh*t console, we can't fail at making a console "?

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

Yeah, if a game is trying to look like it's very detailed but obviously can't be put onto a system to handle it, like Tony Hawk or Call of Duty on the DS, then they ruin the game with distracting graphical errors.

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

all games who put graphics 1st are way to ez, short, and not that fun
iv playd a lot of xbox games what have high graphic n they all was short and way to EZ and some was no fun at all
some of the Wii games iv play had less graphic then the Xbox n stuff but was a lot more fun, challenging and not as short

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

gman, there is a difference between putting graphics first and realism first. Whenever a game tries to get realism into the mix with shotty, distracting graphics, that usually doesn't go over well.

Re: Sony and Nintendo.

Gman is right. Look at the games with good graphics that exist today. I'll run through a few examples.

Gears of War 1 & 2: Short/ sometimes challenging.
Assassin's Creed series: Mostly repetitive, puzzle solving (getting places) is where the focus is.
Halo: Story has been weak since the first one. Easy. Now it's mostly multiplayer only.
Call of Duty: Same as Halo only it NEVER had a good story. cinematic, but not a good story.
Red Dead Redemption: Slower-paced Grand Theft Auto with all the faults of the GTA series.
Super Street Fighter 4: I absolutely LOVE Street Fighter games, even bad ones, but the newest two games, while being good fighting games, are more "Tekken" without 3d movement.
Final Fantasy 13: What a joke. Hit the X or A button through the whole game. That's it. Beautiful game... but you only use one button unless in a rare occasion where you have to change classes or what-not mid-battle, which is just kind of frustrating.

Now if you look at some of the games that dumbed down the graphics a bit to focus on gameplay... you see a little bit better of a quality of overall gaming experience, in my opinion.

Darksiders: Well-thought out. Well executed. Varied difficulty. Good character development.
Fallout 3/ New Vegas: Good, wholesome experience all around. A little weak on animations. There's some bad clipping here and there but it's thoroughly ignorable.
Devil May Cry: Difficult fights. Somewhat longer than most games.
Battlefield Bad Company 2: On consoles, the graphics aren't top quality, so I put it here. It's a solid game all-around even though some firefights in the campaign involve more of your teammates than you, the player.


Now, there's plenty of examples in each category, but there's few games that have had the graphics and the gameplay that I'd expect from this "next generation" of video gaming. I would say these games are a great combination of the two.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Amazing story. Amazing character-development. Fully featured with over 60 guns. Octocamo gives you tons of options for stealth. Enemy AI is great. Graphics are excellent.

Killzone 2: Somewhat weak on character-development, but the graphics are the best of any PS3 title (although Killzone 3 is upon us). Animations are TOP-NOTCH, as in, hitting a guy in the shin causes the proper flinch/ fall.

Anywho, I'll stop now. This is a long post. The main idea is that Gman is correct. Games that focus too heavily on graphics are usually short as can be, underdeveloped, glitchy, and not worthwhile for extended playing or replay value.
