I have played a cartoon in every game that has had a personal avatar.

Not only a cartoon, but a cartoon that doesn't even play well on the majority of systems - regardless of hardware.
Carbine is failing, but the hype train is running so strong that fanboy statements combined with media coverage does an impressive job of masking most of the rather glaring flaws.

How cute. Carbine says they are doing better than expected, you take that as failing? lol.
Looks like someone didn't enjoy Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
$5 says op will make the exact same complaint (ad verbatim) when Everquest Next is released.
Exactly this ^ because that game is exactly cartoon graphics, it looks like WB cartoon on T.V.
Edit : i don't care that much about graphics if they are done right. Even if cartoon, what i look first is can it play as i like it or not.
If the game play nicely and is interesting and hard then i start looking at the graphics, but cartoon graphics don't stop me to play . It is the game itself ( mecanics, etc. ) that tells me if i stick to it or not. Anyways each have its own taste and i hope you guys get to play something you like too as well 1 day.

Weird...I wonder how they convinced me to buy it then. Hmmmmmmm. Maybe it's not targeted towards teenagers? It could be possible the game is targeting to people with a sense of humor. Just a theory like yours of course. So who knows? All we know is that you were not part of their target audience.
I love cartoons, its just I prefer a certain style of animation when it comes to video games. For some reason the pics in are always broken
But its like I prefer spawn or jim lee style animation over disney style animation, because thats just what pleases my eyes in video games. Other than that I do watch cartoons on TV, all kinds like family guy and simpsons for example because they are funny.
Originally posted by Deathstrike2 The graphics are such a turn off for me, I can't get past them. Call them stylized if you like, but to me they're cartoons. And not good ones at that. BLAH! I just can't do it anymore...
/agreed. I couldn't do it. I played beta and glad I didn't buy the game.

Not a big fan of cartoons on TV, but video games are supposed to be fun and Wildstar fits that. If i want to have fun in a real life setting ill go outside.

I think the word childish is a better description ..no need to target a specific age group

I'm sure you got a bunch of responses and of course people bickering. The simple truth is you may not be able to. It was a big issue for me but I tried the game anyway, got to a fairly high level and in the end realized I should never have played it, just wasn't the game for me in so many ways.
"Toon" graphics always makes games less believable. It's believability that some gamers want...to be immersed in something they could imagine themselves living in. To some gameplay is second to immersion. It's just like watching a cartoon versus watching Game of Thrones. It's preference for one thing, but to call people "non gamers" for not enjoying an art preference is the same as calling someone who doesn't want to PvP carebears.

Not sure if the OP is being completely honest here since CO is basically a comic book and just as cartoony as WildStar
Not sure where you're going with this, but on behalf of my integrity, I bought and played CO because I love COH, and thought it would be the next coming of COH. Boy, was I wrong. Played it for about a month, and have never looked back. P.S., I hated those graphics too.
I have to say at first I thought the same way about the game, BUT the game isn't about the cartoony look. It all comes down to combat and playstyle. This game has one of the best combat systems out there. It is smooth and responsive and the graphics come way down the line of things that make up a good action mmorpg to me. If I wanted realistic graphics in a game I would not be able to play anything.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Well, you aren't alone. I know several people that play and love the game. I am like the OP though. I can't stand the way the game looks. I followed it though hoping the art style would grow on me and it actually had the opposite effect. The more I see of it, the more it totally turns me off.
Oh well, we have different tastes. Nothing wrong with that.

No likey - then seriously, move on. It's not going to change for you is it so why come on here and make a point? [mod edit]
I'm loving the game so much, It makes me all warm in my nether areas, But even though I don't share Op's opinion I understand his position, I cannot for the life of me play minecraft, Or those survival minigames, But I enjoyed Child of light...
So from my understanding I think that sometimes is the art design is the thing that draws you and sometimes is the story or gameplay, and not being able to enjoy one because of my dislike of another is not wise.
And I just convinced myself to even try minecraft....
and for the "Kiddie" crowd.....

Let me guess you think that GW2 with Asura and the char plushies is targeting mature audience? ok...

So the graphics are cartoony.. you do know you are playing a game right?
Even the most detailed of games are "Animations" which in effect is a cartoon.
What you are saying is that you do not like the Art Style .. Fine .. Some people Love Piccaso or Rembrant some do not ..
You have to look more at what your are doing and if you can not see past the art style .. find another game, or another art style ..
Simple

Do you do anything beside complain about complainers?

There are a lot of different preferences.
