Actually I have to agree. All I have played the last week is Uncharted 2, Dragon Age Origins PC (With all the settings maxed), and Modern Warfare 2, and MW2 just doesn't look as good :/

Not like MW2 looks good. When GT said it was one of the best looking games on any platforms i almost jumped. MW2 has a very ugly looking engine (just like CoD4 which looked like crap even for 07).

Cause MW2 just looks like the first one.. thats the biggest flaw, also expecting Activision not to re-release MW1 with minor difference was your flaw. :o

Even though I've played better looking games than Overlord when I downloaded that off Steam I was very pleased by the graphic art style of the game.

I don't understand how a game (not even the best looking game on the market) can actually make you stop appreciating the visuals of other games.

I like pretty graphics as much as the next person, but when you start to discover you like games less because other games had better graphics, there's something wrong with the industry. Perhaps, despite all my bashing, we need the Wii just to remind people that it's not all about graphics.

Yeah i feel the same way. I still enjoy other games graphics, but i always want them to have jaw droping moments like uncharted 2. Uncharted 2 had the best enviroments and landscapes ever in a game. period. There isnt many games with great landscapes, that makes you stop just to look at it. No other game has ever done that so well. And i played thousands of games.

Well yeah MW2 graphics are a bit on the ugly side, something it seems only GS seemed to notice in its reviews. Gametrailers took a big credibility hit with me with their MW2 review. Now that doesn't mean its not fun or addicting or that it isn't the second coming for FPS fanatics, its just not at the top of the gfx totem pole.

Sorta true imo of course. I can play Crysis on high/very high settings with visual mods and it looks great and all but too dry for some reason. UC2 looks more exciting if that makes sense.

Agree with you TC 100%. since you're talking about ONLY graphics as stated in the title.

for those people who keep commenting on how graphics dont mean anything, well, sorry to break it to you folks, the TC hasnt said anything about how he enjoyed one over the other because of graphics.

And yes, graphics for U2 are the best so far, it would be stupid to say that MW2's graphics are comparable to U2s. Seriously, MW2 looks good, plays amazing, but the graphics are just "crappy' compared to Mw2.

>>reminder:

this is just my opinion :P

+1..

People take graphics waaay too seriously nowadays. If it's a great looking game, I will definitely appreciate it's great graphics, but that doesnt mean I'll stop playing other games because of that.

the TC didnt really say that he hasnt enjoyed MW2 because of its graphics, All hes implying is that he cant appreciate the graphics of other games (MW2), as much as u2.

i really have to agree, i even start to compare sometimes, the graphics, trees, surroundings, to other games. But i still have fun with the game. in fact i havent even touched U2 since Mw2 came out. And i havent even beaten U2.

MW2 wasn't as graphically impressive as I thought it would be, but that doesn't change that I'm having fun with it. It does look dated compared to UC2. It's good that developers like Naughty Dog with UC and UC2 keep pushing the bar higher for consoles.

couldn't agree more. There's something to be said for seeing a breathtaking visual (looking down from in the hills in Oblivion over the city for the first time ... wow), but at the end of the day you become blase about them as you get further into the game, its the gameplay that sucks you in. Dragon Age (I have to talk about all the time apparently) just keeps blowing me away with how immersive its characters and settings are. I will say that U2 had by far the best cutscenes in any game I've ever seen. I kept looking for flaws in them that was a little distracting lol But I think that shows just how damned good they were.

uncharted 2 is the best looking game so far imo but i havent found it hard to appreciate other video games. games like kz2, gears etc still look as amazing as they did before i played UC2. if you play UC2 or not, MW2 still looks lame. MW2 looks exactly like MW1 and imo MW1 was already unimpressive even back in 2007.
