Gears of War just needs to stop getting called the best.

Referring to Graphics!

Stop being fanboys. Gears of War doesn't look the best. If it is the best, I find that quite sad, a year later. I played it online today- first time in a few months. It looks decent, but not amazing or anything. Textures are pretty good, but the Locust character models aren't that great anymore, smoke particles look like crap, distant objects look like crap and the levels are pretty tight packed.

I agree it isn't the best. But it doesn't look that bad. But it's over a year old now, of course there is going to be better looking stuff out there. The PC version (the best version) isn't even the best looking game out right now. Tech wise. Of course, as an individual there are always going to be people who are going to argue that "ZOMG it looks TEH BEST!!!!". but looking at it tech-wise, it's no longer the best in graphics.

Yeah. It was a good game. But it's old news and still terribly overrated. I played through it on my brother's 360 last Christmas... it was a fun game, but there was absolutely no story and the gameplay became a bit repetitive toward the end. A good game to be sure, but definitely not a 9.6, in my opinion. I'm one of those that feel Uncharted has surpassed it in both visuals and story. I just find Uncharted more fun.

Uncharted is better visually by quite a bit. Gears of War lasts longer though due to multiplayer and Coop play. Gears of War is a great game and if any game deserved a 9.5+ between that and Halo 3 it was definitely Gears of War.

I always thought the skin of the human soldier characters looked like plastic. For that reason I never thought Gears was that amazing looking(Except for the textures for the actual levels).

A year later cows get a game that is actually comparable and they suddenly think that it is the bomb. Cows need to stop being full of themselves. It's been a year and you are comparing a newer game to Gears. That is actually a indirect compliment to Epic Games.

First off, Lemmings make the same argument "Gears is STILL the best looking game!", and second, epic games deserves the compliment, do they not? They created one of the most popular ongoing (3 different versions and counting) game engines to date. That is something that warrants a bit of praise IMO. what, because GeoW was(lol) a 360 exclusive, no one but lemmings/hermits can like Epic? lulz. System Wars logic!

I think the biggest problem visually is that it takes awhike for the character's textures to render and right after you load into a game they are just blurry and flat same goes for some other things in the game. But ya it still looks nice. I never even thought it was the best looking, I didnt know this was commonly thought as that.

Gears has the best graphics for consoles, though the PC has of course surpassed it multiple times in the past year.

Uncharted is the game that is constantly compared to Gears; cows apparently think that having attractive blues and greens makes their game technically superior to Gears of War. It's not. Comparatively speaking, the textures are low detail, the effects are worse, and the character models are terrible.

Art direction is a matter of preference, but Gears still has the best console graphics technically.

But it's still the best game of this genration, and still graphically better than anything else. I've noticed that whenever people say so and so game looks better than Gears of War, they never post screenshots for either games.

So, you haven't played Uncharted then.

Technically speaking, the textures are definitely better, the character models are also better, the animations are much better, andit's better artistically etc.

Gears is a great looking game, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's the best for consoles.

Animations and art direction are not technical issues, they're artistic ones, and are completely subjective. And you're very wrong about the textures and character models.

The fact of the matter is that Gears looks fantastic, any way you look at it. And now that's it's on the Personal Computer, it therefore makes the game look totally wicked, TC, I totally disagree with your initial post. Tis all. Have a nice day...

Their's a little thing called texture loading and bland landscape designs that holds Mass Effect back from recieving this award. The fact of the matter is that Uncharted looks the bomb on the PS3, but anyway you look at it, Crysis is king of the graphics with it's mind blowing engine powering the game. Thus, we have come to the conclusion that Super Mario Kart 64 has the greatest graphics in this day and age.

Ah, young lad, the problem is that the planet surfaces are indeed a part of the game, a large part of it, and as many of them are so bland it really just does drag the overall graphic quality down with it. This might be hard to grasp, but it's just plain obvious.

you do realise some of the side missions are more than half the length of uncharted right?
