Darkfall

So with what you said in the highlighted yellow text, I smell a Vangaurd follower...I find it ironic, lots of people were saying how good it is compared to VG, but it looks to be going through the same situation as VG.

Did I mention VG? Nope sorry, what we got here is a AOC fanboi trying to convince me how 25FPS is acceptable on a top of the line PC with an amazing video card.  AOC is close to the state that Vanguard was at release, and this is not a stretch or just my imagination; and VG was crap at release and it's still crap and once AOC releases it will be crap and a year from that AOC will still suffer from performance issues and low frame rates and unplayable game. Instead of tweanking their ubber visuals and photoshop screenshots like they did years before the release maybe they should have been busy optimizing the game.

This thread so stupid. You know Age of conan engine uses high definition textures and Geomtry?  it is cutting-edge engine.

they are two engines on COMPLETELY DIFFERENT  level.  there is no comparing what conan engine can do compared to this..

all you need to do is watch some videos of conan and discussion is over with

here is movie of building cities in conan.. something this darkfall cannot show even after 7 years of time

To me, your just an anonomous sh*t stirrer looking to get a rise out of others for your own sport, so forgive me if I just tune you out. What you say has no value or worth.

I personally will try AoC when it releases, but I will also try Darkfall if it ever does as well. I have no axe to grind against this game. saying that, I honestly am thinking that AoC is looking way nicer on most counts and more suited to my tastes art direction wise.

What do I know though? WoW looks like crap to me but millions think otherwise.

conan =

In my personal opinion I think that Age of Conan look better than Drakfall, BUT I'd preferred Darkfall engine over zoning hell engine to funcom any day of the week...

You guys keep going on and on about how AOC pwns DF graphically, I never said that DF's visuals look better, what I said that AOC's visuals will never be realized by the vast majority of the player base because quite frankly there are way too many performance issues involving AOC. Like I said, you get less the 25 FPS running the damn thing with 8800 Ultra.

In the end all those graphical enhancements don't mean jack when you can't run the game properly to begin with, because when it comes down to it you have to scale back the quality in order to run the game and not suffer through crappy frame rates.

All of you AOC fanbois need to take a hike, this is not your forum; so don't come here shooting your mouth of about graphics that your own pc cant' even handle. 

this argument is null and void

Darkfall does not support DX10

AoC does

take a look at DX10 comparisons to DX9.

both games look great (darkfall is one of the better looking MMO's around) but AoC is better looking.

UbberGoober,

What you are stating here is simply not true... Im not a AoC fanboy, I will not be playing it, not at launch or at a later stage. In two months you will be proven wrong...

Erm... No, I said I preferred AoC's art direction. But yes, I do think AoC has a more advanced engine. Whether the majority have the machines to run it wasnt the point of contention. The simple fact is that AoC, run at full tilt, is much better looking then DF on full tilt. DF is more the level of EQ2 imo; Pretty, but no longer the top of the heap graphically. Of course, there is nothing saying it has to be the prettiest game out there to be a success. WoW proved that.

That was never the basis of this thread.

The point being talked about here was which was the prettiest game and why people thought what they thought. Whether the people out there in casual-gamer land have the machines to run it is irrelevant to this particular discussion.

I am not saying it isnt a point worth talking about, but hijacking this thread, and making obvious attempts to flame people here to do it, isnt a good thing.

Like I said, you get less the 25 FPS running the damn thing with 8800 Ultra.

So you say.

Like I say though, wheres your proof? Who are you? Why should I trust you?

The obvious answer is that I shouldnt and I sgould make my own mind up from sources that I DO trust.

In the end all those graphical enhancements don't mean jack when you can't run the game properly to begin with,

Heh... you mean you can't?

The offical statement is, and I have no reason to take your word over that at this point, that if ou can run Oblivion you can run this.

Tbh, if you can't run Oblivion right now, the problm is with you and not AoC.

because when it comes down to it you have to scale back the quality in order to run the game and not suffer through crappy frame rates.

Again, so you say.

Who are you again?

All of you AOC fanbois need to take a hike

I am objective about this whole issue, can you say the same?

Telling people 'to take a hike' as part of a discussion is very poor debate and just shows me that you cannot support your points with evidence and substance.

this is not your forum; so don't come here shooting your mouth of about graphics that your own pc cant' even handle. 

lol, these are all public forums. Who gave you the right to control who posts where?

And, thx, but my PC can run Oblivion (at the least) just fine.

I am sorry yours can't... unless theres another source of the obvious resentment you show in these posts?
