(edit)ive always noticed this about games never realy adressed it though..... I LOVE graphics in games these day's but when they interfere with game play its too much, just too MUCH,I have stopped buying new conseles im on edge wether or not to get the Wii, Finaly got it though have to say im pretty impressed.I've seen the great graphics on the 360 ps3 and all BUT. You know what else i've seen GLITCHES, CONTROLS MOUTHFUNTIONING, INFERIOR GAMEPLAY, my top 3 areas of gaming where if they're not onehundrend precent perfect or even like80-90%I'll walk away like that........
Glitches, Glitches, Glitches, I HATE glitches unless they dont interfere with game play (which the precentage of that is .11111.111% of the time like the WALKING ON AIR glitch in mkd Konquest is an example less you did it on pupose and dont know how to get out its stilla bad glitch) but after seeing the great graphics in Oblivion andstuff like that most gamers that never played Super Mario Bros 1,2 and 3or something like that would be like look at those graphics........ until they play the game your racing in burnout about to take the lead GLITCHY your friggin car goes through the ground and you're thinking"Oh for GODS SAKE"......moving on...
Responding controls........... Ok its pretty self explanitory if you can't move the dude you realy can't play. For example I just set off an alarm being careless in Spinter Cellim trying move Fisher out of the way, with twelve dudes on me I CANT MOVE, bullet in my head, Gameover. I don't even wanna talk about that anymore moving on.
Inferior Gameplay.... the whole point of the blog.... when i sit down and play Mario Bros im rolling through the castle im kicking butt im enjoying all the craps working get killed.....whatever.........Im playing NFL Street3 this all goes back to responding controls what the....... My qb wont pass OMG SACK BECAUSE, wait guess thats right my friend MY CONTROLS WWWWWIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL NOOOOOTTTTT FFFUUUUUUNNNCCCCTTTTIIIIIOOOOOONNNNNN
*Smashes TV screen*im back to mario.
In conclusion graphics can be to much when they interfere with my gameplay experience. HOWEVER im not completely agaisnt them I still like graphics as much as thenext guy.I want a game thats fun PERIOD I don't CARE about graphics.. When i review a game if I had a choice, the graphics would not efect the score Audio woudnt, Realism wouldn't, BUT the fun rating would thats it. If a games fun FINE ILL TAKE IT good graphics and fun HECK YEAH amazing graphics and terrible game play YEAH RIGHT.
