Not me, I'm about gameplay and/or story, not graphics.

[QUOTE="longtonguecat"]

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]Well, the game looked good on its own (not spectacular or the second coming, but good) but I bought it mostly for the graphics. The game im referring to is Crysis. I think for the majority of buyers, Crysis' graphics were probably the main deciding factor.II_Seraphim_II

Heh, I actually got it knowing I could only run it on medium at the time, because it looked like it had nice open gameplay. :P

well, you are one of the few :P I didnt buy the game when it first came out because my rig sucked, but once I got my rig up-to-date, I bought it. Normally I probably would have passed on this game. It looked like it had good gameplay, but im short on cash, but the great visuals really pushed me into buying it and im glad I did. Some of the best FPS gaming I've had in a long time :D

After playing the demo, I was sold that Crysis would be an amazing game. And it was. :D

I didn't know anything about Crysis other than it was made by the same guys who made Far Cry and it had AWESOME graphics, so I bought it. I was actually dissappointed with the graphics I got out of it (didn't have Vista or a DX10 videocard, so no Very High for me), but I absolutely LOVED the gameplay.

Also, I bought Darwinia+Multiwinia off of Steam during their Holiday sale because of the game's awesome visual style. I love that game, too.

You ever try using the DX10 Autoexec hack for Crysis?

I bought Crysis, and it was awesome. So I didn't mind. In fact, I still have to pick up Warhead for that matter.

Assassins Creed, it also interested me, but when the game was a borefest, not even the graphics saved it.

I enjoyed the part where you jump across rooftops, though, it just really captures that sense of freedom. But to each their own...

FarCry2, and killzone 2. Though I would have enjoyed both without the graphics being a main focus. Also I will be getting crysis pretty much strictly for the graphics for my brand new rig....Which I still need Internet for :evil:

Not only did i buy Crysis because of the graphics but i actually wasted about $1000 buying a new PC that could run it on high.....looking back thats probably the dumbest choice i've ever made.

Crysis. I just wanted to see how far my system would go. It turned out to be a decent game though.

I won't lie; I have. I remember watching the intro to Jet Force Gemini, and I had to have it. Thank goodness it turned out to be an awesome game.
