I cannot believe they can even sell this peice of junk. I got it today and I feel so... wow

I run a Windows Vista dell with a Pentium 2 Duo, 3 gigs of ram and a Radeon HD 2600 XT and blah blah etc etc widescreen nice clear LCD - WoW looks beautiful on it, esp when I am out farming and casting all my pretty little spells or in Raids with tons of pretty little spells and smooth like butter - it's a good computer and should run any current MMO easily with max graphics.

I install, goes smooth. Nice.

I crank up the graphics... hmmm, odd, but it could work. Make my character. Sorta nice, dislike the hairstyles a lot actually but it seems promising because you can change other things like facial features and body part sizes. But the system seems clunky.

I am still excited at the end of it. I make a shaman and she has an earthy vibe going on and I am excited to start a new game.

 

I think seems like a nice adventure game like Oblivion but better and online.

 

Apply brakes here

 

The game is second life but online with orcs and elves. But no, wait! The graphics are WORSE than second life and the lag is MUCH worse.

 

WOW

 

Somebody needs to flush this disaster.

 

<modedit>

LOL.  Why?  Drugs are bad.. mmmkay?

Hmm, I played VG on an old gaming laptop that had an Radeon Mobility 9800 AGP video card.  So needless to say I had performance issues which I accept responsibility for, but not the crashes/bugs that happened on a frequent basis.

In the end, VG's gameplay didn't appeal to me.  But to say it has bad graphics isn't really being fair.  There might be a lot of features about VG that don't appeal, and as to which game has the best graphics thats more a matter of personal taste and opinion, and not based on any sort of factual basis.

I enjoyed my time in WOW, but I wouldn't call them the best graphics out there, just adequate for the job they were asked to do. (which is permit players to run the game on a wide variety of computer hardware)

If they made any mistake in WOW it was in not offering an option for a high end graphic client for those folks who have the horsepower to handle it.

What a garbage game on a garbage engine.

 

LoRTO is the best looking MMO on the market. Lineage and Guild Wars and WoW are also far superior.

WoW is stunning with a good computer and some actual talent. Everyone loves to hate the top dog, but subs don't lie.

My only wish was that this game looked like the banner above, which it truly does NOT.

Think I will pick up LoTRO again for my adventure game on days I don't raid.

I dont see why i am posting since all views have been placed but i just had to. VG whilst not being the best game out there is still one of the better MMO's, comparing VG to WoW is just well wow...

WoW is designed with low spec graphics so all those millions of people can play with there old rigs and laptops, VG is designed for modern desktop use. I played VG for a good few months and enjoyed it thoroughly. WoW is not well respected around here for one so comparing a game that if we had never got it released but was released now it would be a very popular game.

Sorry for the bit of a rant some peoples ignorance astounds me sometimes.

WoW>VG...lol ok...

You are having a lot of fun isn't it?

Hmm ugly graphics in VG ??  erm only if you have your graphics settings turned all the way down.  VG is many things, (boring, annoyingly hardcore.....gggrrrrr repeated corpse runs, and the biggest thing of all......no one else around..

Graphics in VG are fantastic. A quick sample below........

@ OP

You must live in cloud cockoo land if you believe WoW graphics are better than VG's.

Here's a few examples. Not the best I've seen just a few of my own screenie's.

there's no need to prove anything to OP.

He says world of warcraft's graphics are best, better than any other mmorpg... There's no need to argue more, he clearly looks throu a pink glasses. How about a mmo insult... Go back to WoW!  :D

My problem is more with mechanics than visuals. While I do not find the faces of the avatars all that appealing and I agree that the hair is lacking. Graphics are decent. I will not say they are "the best" however.

I more am having trouble figuring out mechanics of crafting and do not find the in game instructions informative enough, and I find any game that forces you to go outside the game to learn how to play it has failed. The point of a game is for it to be fun, and self contained. I could look up everything on the internet but I prefer to discover it in game. I gave up crafting after trying to create the first price from the quest (attire/clothing) because it kept telling me I did not have what I needed.

Meh.

I plan to play with it again later but I was too frustrated to bother.

My only other complaint is the low population I seem to encounter, and a lack of other people to hang out with which is why I play MMOs. If I wanted to solo I would just fire up a single player RPG.
