Outdated Graphics?

Post » Tue Feb 15, 2011 5:44 am

I was impressed by the graphics and it's the best looking game I've seen. Although I don't think I've played any games more recent than Dragon Age 1 that wasn't on a handheld, so I might not be so good at telling whether graphics are outdated.

How about, uh, everyone stop console warring, and just see what the game looks like when it comes out?

Also if you are completely new to PC purchasing you will most likely go to Best buy/wal-mart/Dell/etc where they say they have the best prices but you could prolly get the same systems they sell there for $600 less on a site like newegg.. if you pay more then $1300 on your first computer (unless your family or had aid by a friend who has experience with computers) you over payed



I don't know about that... the last stuff I bought, I checked the prices in newegg and Best Buy, and Best Buy had the same stuff for either the same price or cheaper. Even if it was a couple dlls more on something $50 and up, I'd go to the store and get it there.

But the graphics were mediocre in both of those games... graphics didn't factor in at all. Of course graphics doesn't make a game, but that doesn't mean it's not important right?

DA II Graphics were MUCH MUCH better then origins, honestly i does'nt care for graphics at all, i do have gtx 260 sli, 6gb ram and i7 920 but i would still rather go play torchlight then fancy looking gothic iv after i have finished it once. Graphics may look cool for the first time you play a new game, but its the gameplay and lifespan that keeps pulling you back at a game :)

Nice! The plastic look to everything gives it that extra oomph if I do say so myself.

It's a large game, literally. Probably gonna be lots of stuff on the screen; NPCs, various items (both static and dynamic), the enviroment itself and such. Of course the graphics won't be on par with the visceral FPS games and such when there's so much going on in such a big area.

Feel free to show your examples of good graphics if you feel mine are inadequate. I didn't spend a long time looking for the perfect example

I can play Arena comfortably. Even if Skyrim's graphics are a little dated (which they don't look to be. To me, at least) then I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine.

because a consoles less expensive then paying $400 just so you can play the same game on a pc :facepalm: did you not read his post completely


ok lets do math

Average Family:
Has
-PC (home computer shared) spent around $1300-1500 on it because they bought from a store such as Best buy Wal-mart, or Dell
-Console (gaming needs for children or self) Paid $150 (give and take between PS3 and Xbox 360)
-A new game every 6 months costing $60(70 soon) $120 a year
(repeat first two every 10 years or so another $1400 down the drain.)

Total price- $~1670

Thats average

FRESH PC gaming that knows where to get it and what to get it
-TOP OF THE LINE PC $~1200 (Average PC $~600)
-Accessories $200
- Games cost $50 usually if not less if you get steam deals which can go down to $2-10 for older/indie games games and gives discounts on series packs (10 games for $70) pretty much once a twice a year.. $100
(Upgrade every 4-5 years $200 on a new GPU adding $400 every 10 years)

Total Price $~1500 if you get top of the line $~900 if you get average


Current PC owner that learns or get help from online sites/personal friends and family
-GPU/Ram upgrade $~300
- Games same as previous $100
(upgrade every 4-5 years GPU adding $400 every 10 years)
Total Price $400

If you do have a console you can sell it for $30 games sell them for $10-25(pending on what it is) to people (better deals then they are going to get elsewhere) that will drop that $400 quickly.. when you say "YOU CAN"T SELL GAMES" wrong.. Ebay=monay i have sold around 30 games for $5-20 each (N64 games) which is what paid for a good share on my new rig.

There is really no way you can deny it cause i can go through links after links showing you each of them...

Then I guess my example wasn't so bad after all. If you can't back up your claim by providing a counterexample then you never really refuted my point in the first place, did you?

Me: Here's an example of good graphics
You: That's a bad example
Me: Show a better one then
You: No.

Haha I didn't! You gave a screenshot that is atrocious. Thankfully Salidin posted something substantial.

I shouldn't have done anything. You posted a shoddy screen. I never asked for someone to post screens of anything.
