So when did having outstanding graphics come into play over game play? this is why i hate reading these forums anymore. All it is, is a bunch of people who have no concept of games, Art, individualism or anything else in this nature. I have come to conclusion that most of the people who post about "WELL THIS GAME SUCKS CAUSE THE GRAPHICS SUCK!" just has no idea what they are even talking about. I have yet to play Fallen Earth, but i am very intreged by the game, and when i find more information about it i will probley give it a go.
Back on the topic at hand. Games are an art forum. they are not just there for are entertainment. When developers and Visual game designers sit down and make a video game they put there blood sweat and tears into every potion of the game. they become part of the game. They are expressing them selfs with that video game. Just like an artist painting a picture. OH GUESS WHAT! now adays most character models are hand drawn. Thereby pooring there artistic veiws and capabilitys into that program.
So when did graphics make how the game plays and works. Look at every game out there that has "AMAZING GRAPHICS" the game play itself is lacking. Look at Vangaurd, Boy did i want to love that game given what it was. but because they spent so long on graphics the gameplay itself was lacking IMO. and now look at wow (yes yes i know) The graphics are not "realistic" but they are a work of art. and the game play is outstanding!
When the general public and most of the developers realize this i think that the video game industy will start producing better games, Or start seeing games that dont have the OUT STANDING REAL LIFE GRAPHICS OF THE CENTURY and that are already out on the shelves will start being looked at.
Just because a new game has in your opinion "BAD GRAPHICS" or they graphics looks like a cartoon or kids game, doesn't mean that the game sucks. Blizzard has proved that time and time again. So give games a try and play them for what they are not how they look. Besides I think they have a name for that.
The problem with graphics or overall gfx is lack of immersion and it DOES affect gameplay. Yday I got killed in a pvp area somehow. I was mounted and suddenly the "click to respawn" window appeared. I checked combat log and saw multiple hits from some guy with pistols. I think it speaks for itself not to mention I didn't even fall off the horse... the game just wrote I died and it didn't happen for the first time.. it wasn't any bug or crash. Yeah I was listening to some loud trash metal so I didn't hear shit but this is pretty bad.
It's so refreshing to find an MMO that combines depth and good gameplay with a unique concept.
Others have compared this to EvE and SWG meet Mad Max or The Postman - which I think is spot on. The gameplay, character building, gameworld, and crafting all have tremendous depth. The graphics aren't AoC but are still well done and fit the world perfectly - really gets you immersed in things. The world is huge and open-ended giving you tons of options on how you want to proceed. Combat is exciting - true FPS combat in an MMO. Tons of quests - according to the devs over 5000. Crafting is nice and complex. I havn't done much PvP yet but from listening to some guildies on vent it definitely got them going.
I wasn't sure I would like this when i got into it but it looked interesting and has turned out to be a real gem. Definitely my new game.
I tried it in closed beta. I liked it a lot, but will play it if / once they add housing, is the only thing i missed.
I doubt it will be "HOUSING" , rather a "Hidden base" But yes, adding that would make this game better than RL :heh:
Despite the game not being perfect....I think this could be either the next EVE in terms of moderate, but steady success and slowly increasing population, or even a quicker success.... as long as devs keep being focused and dedicated, this will look like an interesting, and worthwile journey. DB
Well said DB. I like how the hype around this game has been more moderate than, well lets say aoc, warhammer, vanguard and such. Hopefully all the brave FAIL sayers will be kept away from this game.
