Topics that need to just DIE!!!

out of those "milkage"

Looking at the results so far, the majority of people here are simply fed up with the graphics king threads. Knowing this place though, we'll probably start to see an influx of threads like this one. Get ready for "More topics that need to just DIE!!!" and "The end all thread of topics that need to just DIE!!!". =P

TBH, these are the kinds of threads are the most annoying. Seriesly, if you want to end certain discussions like the ones on the poll, then you might as well lock the whole SW forum.Bazooka_4ME

Yes, I get that this is System Wars, and idiotic arguments is just business as usual. But does it really have to the same argument recycled over and over again for the billionth time? Can't we move on to new territory in the rivalry between systems? Just look at what I outlined in my OP. We're way past flogging the dead horse here. We've flogged the bones and even stomped all over the ashes. Time to give it a rest and move on to somethinmg else. ANYTHING ELSE.

The hot babes threads are interesting... :|charizard1605

That was a joke candidate if ya didn't pick up on my hyperbole ;) :P

Game Play Greater than Graphics

Then when you look at the other side of the equation, it seems some people erroneously try to undervalue the role graphics has in video games. And never forget that these are called video games. They are a highly visual medium. Yes it's very important to gave a solid foundation of game play, from comprehensive mechanics, to intuitive and fluid control, to good level design.

But the graphics serves as the primary engine for the player's interactivity with the game. And as outlined in the previous category, graphics is the canvas for the story, setting the atmosphere and emotion the developers wants the player to experience, as part of the game play. It's not about one being more important than the other between graphics and game play, it's that graphics are an integral part of the game play. They don't exist exclusively, but in fact serve to enable one another.

This, this, a thousand times this. There may not be a thread about it every 20 minutes, but having the phrase plague every thread that mentions graphics is beyond irritating.
