I am a Wii fan, but I must rise to defend Halo 3 and Gears in this absurdity!

I maybe be a fan of Nintendo and the Wii, but I am not loyal to a fault. I play any and everything. Lately, the PS3 and 360 fans have been flaming each other via "Halo 3's graphicS Suxx!!!" or better yet "GeArs of WaRs has SUXAFUDF graPhiCs OmG!!!" Well, I must prostest against such stupidity:

Gears of War has the best graphics  of any game, pc or not, currently. It maybe short, but it still holds this title.It may not look, to some of you, "prettyfull," but that is because it is trying to convey the feeling of war, not of pretty flowers in the summer breeze.

Secondly, Halo 3. Tell me, how does a game's graphic's suck, IF IT IS NOT EVEN NEAR TO BEING  RELEASED? Don't have such lofty expectations. With Zelda: Twilight Princess, everyone gotso worked up, thinking of things like an ending were Link dies, or evironments that would take up to 45 hrs to explore, etc. What did they get? One of the best games of 2006. Not their lofty goals:best game ever made. Even Halo 3 should not be hyped to this level. How will you ever have fun playing the game, if you are too concerned with the little graphical problems. I loved Zelda :TP (never played Oot) and managed to bring myself back to reality, not the hype. Can one do that with Halo 3? If you can, hype it all you want, just remember this is a formula being reused for a third time, and has a chance of floping. Don't overhype.

    Halo 3 is the ending to a planned trilogy. They have more time to get it "just right" and they will want to finish the series on a high note. I expect Halo 3 to perform better than Halo 2, since the main gripes about Halo 2 are the story, and Bungie is getting much more time to flesh out the in game story.
    Add to that now Bungie is experienced in online matchmaking, as Halo 2 was a new jump into somewhere Halo didn't go, and I think Halo 3 will be strong AAA.

I agree with the OP. I am a Wii fan, but I think all good games deserve praise, Halo, Gears, MGS = all great.

Halo 3's graphics do currently suck. They are releasing screenshots presumably way too early, possibly to start building hype now. I doubt at this point the game is ready for a 2007 release, but we'll see.

sdelaney86, you know absolutely nothing about how that game will turn out. The graphics are not done,  yes, but that means nothing about the time it will be released. Your not a game developer, so you can't be a critic.

Now if only people could have the same logic about the PS3 and not bash everything now that comes out in 7-9 months.

You have not seen what the game looks like currently! I know leaked screenshots and videos are flowing out now, but they do not represent where Halo 3 is at the minute. If you followed the Bungie Weekly Updates, you would know that.
