do you care about the most technically advanced game?

what i'm sayin is, are you all about how good the game looks? or can the game have decent visuals but have amazing gameplay, strory...etc. I really don't care about the most technically advanced games. i love my basketball games, as long as the game plays great with minimal flaws, it doesnt have to look like actual humans running across the screen. thats just me, i know some people that would force themselves to play a game that looks great, but is broken and pretty much unplayable. those games give me the biggest headaches.

As long as the game is fun, it doesn't matter how amazing the graphics or physics are. There are games that take advantage of the full potential of the current GPU and CPU power of today's machines, but if they don't nail the gameplay mechanic, then no one will be playing it for long. I'm currently still playing L4D2, and that game doesn't look impressive at all...but it's a lot of fun, and that's all that matters.

Seeing as NieR is one of my favorite games in the history of EVER...

No I don't care.:D

Sometimes a gem comes along that isnt the prettiest or most complex technically, that are great. Stuff like Limbo, Dead Nation, Flower, etc. But, for the most part, with the hardware's current capabilities, yes I do like to see pretty visuals. Nothing wrong with having amazing gameplay to accompany equally amazing graphics(ex. God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Vanquish)

Yes, I love games that are constantly breaking new technological ground.

That's why I love Call of Duty.. and Pokemon.

Nope, I'm not an immature and shallow teenager trying to be super hardcore, I play fun games.

No I don't... but I think If we live in a world were our phones have better graphical capabilities then our videogame consoles then we have a problem.

It's not the # 1 factor but I won't ignore crappy graphics or say story and gameplay are the only things that matter. I can still enjoy the game and think it's a blast but if the game looks bad for its time then I'll find myself wishing some things about the visuals were improved.

That being said I value art style in games far more than the actual crispness of the images and stuff.

I think it's interesting and fun to see it, but it ultimately doesn't make it a good or bad game.

If it's also an enjoyable game than sure.

I put ghost recon and halo ce and medal of honor allied assault on par with anything out today..so no..

Well for the most part, 'no'. Just as long as the game is fun & all that jazz. Hell, considering some of my all time favs is stil the ol' skool Super Mario Bros. games (from NES era), Pac-Man (both arcade & consoles), & Tetris--I'd damn sure say it's all about the fun you get out it, lol.

That being said, I also have to say it depends on how well a game ages. There are times when a game doesn't age well w/ the time and couple that if it had shoddy mechanics or gameplay can completely make it a pain to get into decades later. When a game's mechanics can stand the test of time then it doesn't really matter who 'advanced' it is.

nope I do not care in the slightest, I'm perfectly fine with the technology in gaming as it is and still play many old classics

do you care about the most technically advanced game?youngmurk911

I personally do. In this age with everyone being atechnically savvyyou kinda have to focus on the graphics. It adds to the experience for me

Nope, never have never will. I play games like Tales of Vesperia and Mass Effect and Dragon Age which all have glitches and bugs, but they are much better than Killzone and Crysis.

I think the art direction and the technical aspects work together to make sufficiently good looking games.

I'm playing through Might and Magic: World of Xeen right now, what do you think?

i do care about the most technically advanced games because i think its pretty awesome whenever i play a game which has made real leaps forward and is the new best technically at what it does and i think that can be really exciting.

But i love my wii (although the games have slowed down on it) and plenty of cool DL games too which are good because of the fun and or inventive ways they play so its not like i only play games for looks

People need to stop acting like they are more PURE gamers cos they play games with dated graphics. graphics dont need to be awesome all the time but it can really help if they are!

TC you are completely right. That is why I believe Angry Birds is the best game this generation will ever see.

When the technology enhances gameplay, I do.

I would rather play games like Fire Emblem and Disgaea any day over mainstream blockbusters so obviously technically advanced games don't mean a whole lot to me in the grand scheme of gaming.

The reason why people don't start loads of discussion around which game has the most fun gamplay is because such is purely subjective. Graphics aren't. So it is easier to debate graphics. So people do, and when they have discussed until having become mentallyfatigued they sigh "but what about gameplay?".Gameplay was always important for everyone. It is just not as suitable atopic to debate as technical excellence.

Care? Sure, it's nice to see how advanced technology is. But there are, as mentioned, other factors that are more important when it comes to a game and how much I enjoy it. Also, can we please stop those *graphics aren't everything* threads? i swear I seee such a thread every couple days since a long time now :S

Not even remotely. I'll play a game if the story and gameplay is excellent, but the graphics are lacking. I recently got into NieR and am having a lot of fun with it.

Not too much, bet when how technically advanced the game is affects the gameplay I am all for it. Dwarf Fortress, ARMA 2 are examples of techical stuff enhancing gameplay.

No, not really. It's always a plus if the game looks good, but I rather have a great game with sub par graphics than a game with the best graphics ever seen but that I'll only end up playing for maybe 5 hours.

No but I at least want the game to look decent and have great gameplay.

I would say that it all depends on the game. What is the game catering to, what is it trying to accomplish or achieve.
