I guess you haven't played AoC? If you had you would understand why gameplay > graphics.
----------------------------- Originally posted by Frobner "Massive sieges" "mounted combat" and "spellweaving" are just few words that spring to mind when I hear the word AOC.... But the word FAILURE will always top the list.
This game reminds me of what Ultima Online 2 was supposed to be like. With much better graphics then UO-2. Nice to see a company designing a game after the first MMO.

I actually do play AOC and own but dont currently play LOTRO. I was saying nothing about Darkfall's gameplay, for all we know it could be the best thing since canned cheese but we wont know thtat till its released. All I was saying was that the graphics come no were close to lotro or aoc which people were claiming in another thread, anyone who isnt blind can obviously see from looking at the screenshots that the graphic level is nowere close to those 2 games and you can bring up artistic style or whatever you want but technologically aoc and lotro blow away darkfall in graphics.

Its all in the eye of the player and his opinion , i my self like Df grafix better than anything on the market today , its got that old school look and feel , its Gritty and dark and sets the mood perfect for the game and its setting. Lotro i never realy liked the grafix , they look good and great in some places ( i play it with Dx10) but still its not the type of grafix i realy like , its not realistic enough for my taste and im sure im not the only one , they are almost a mix of realistic and cartoony grafix . AoC on high settigs looks great also in most cases , but thats it , and on low setting it looks like crap imo , and doing sieges in low settings and still getting crap fps ( at launch ) was just terrible, and thats not even touching on some of the textures and grafix glitches etc etc.
Point is to some DF grafix are great in most cases , personaly i wouldnt want them any other way , not sure if i would be so omg interested if it didnt have that old school gritty dark mideval look and feeling to it, every time i see another screen shot it makes me want to play even more.

default beta graphics, and it STILL beats LotRO
how does it beat lotro?? from what i see there lotro beats it in every aspect form lighting, shadows, texture res, style...everything. You cant just say its better. Prove it. If you want I'll post comparison pictures showing how LOTRO beats it in every aspect, can you do the same??

LotRO runs on a very polished AC2 engine, thats from early 2000. The graphics are very pretty, seem like a nice fantasy painting, but you can see where the limitations of the engine shows through, the trees especially. LotRO is pretty, but its not the top graphic beast to beat. The games with the best graphics on the market right now are Vanguard and AoC.
Looks like total crap. Not just remarking about the graphics either...the fonts, UI and everything in those screenshots looks like an utter waste of time compared to what's on the market.
This game looked better when it was Vaporware...of wait...it still is.

Even if that was the case , not everyone has the same opinion on what good grafix to them are, and that opinion doesnt always mean the best of everything will be what they like if there was even a such thing as "best" of everything, because its all based on opinion.

Why are you changing topic??? I never was saying LOTRO is the best, I know AOC is waaay better then anything else out there as Ive played everything else lol. You said Darkfall>LOTRO and Im asking you to prove it. I can easily pull up picks from LOTRO and Darkfall and clearly show how LOTRO is better in every aspect if you want.

That is the case and your wrong there is a technical "best" and technically LOTRO is better. Again, I can pull up screenshots of both and clearly show how LOTRO is technically better then Darkfall in graphics even though it was released a year and a half ago, can you do that to prove your point???

I can easily say that Darkfall shadows trumps LotRO, resolution, LotRO trumps Darkfall. But shadows is really where Darkfall pulls way way ahead, and lighting. Considering you can use shadows to identify people where they are hiding, each individual leaf casts a shadow, and glints on armor and weapons can give away your position...
But LotRO is a totally different style than Darkfall. Darkfall has realistic graphics, whereas LotRO is more like a fantasy drawing.

Realistic graphics my ass.
This game looks barely playable. It will NEVER be Ultima Online 2 or even be a contender in the MMO market...in fact, I'm still doubting it ever gets released.
The people the defend and look forward to this game are obviously masochists who want a terrible looking and terrible playing game.

No , no you cant because its all opinion like food or movies or books etc , eye candy is all in the eye of the person looking at it and everyone's taste is different in most cases. This is even more true for the games grafix style . It could even be better in every aspect on paper when it comes down to the quality of what your looking at , but not everyone will agree its best to them for theit taste.
Ganton you can bring up as many pic's as you want but its not going to change a persons opinion on what they like and prefer. Im not saying DF shadows or textures or any one aspect of the grafix are better than another whne it gets down to being technical , im saying when it comes down to the whole picture everything together i much prefer DF to Lotro or aoc or most other mmorpgs. My fav grafix of any mmorpg today are VG Df and even Eq1's updated grafix , they may not be the "actual" best , but imo they are some of the best for what i like and my taste , and that's what it all comes down to , what the player likes and his opinion of what he wants.
