So the Simpsons is ... for kids or ... for adults ? And Disney's Fantasia?
Any adult playing a Fantasy Role Playing Game is a kind of kid isn't he/she ?
 Actually a cartoon is the ideal timeless tool to represent the fairy tail of a fantasy adventue with trolls, orcs, dragons and paladins .... with a bright sky and colorful worlds you just love to be in.
Realistic graphics .... to represent a green Orc ?!?!? I never understood that really.


 
Well, if you want to get to the bottom of this;  the truth is that the older you get the more you realize that we are all kids
 

Yo, I hear that. I'm 35 and some days I just like to kick back in my easy chair and watch Spongebob. I don't like WoW because I don't feel there is a lot of room for individuality, but the graphics are pretty good for their style.

Champions Online will be coming out soon and it has some pretty cool, yet cartoony graphics as well. I'll play that game over WoW because it allows me to use my imagination more in character creation. I can only hope that it will be half as polished and deep as WoW is.

It's ok to be a fan of a game, but seriously, let's not go crazy here.

Wow, haha...Spongebob was fine back in the day but the new ones are just gay and stupid. I mean, we all felt like Squidward one time or another, and the older ones had humor that only adults would understand. Though I get what you're saying.

Most people don't seem to like the comic-book style of Champions, particularly just the cell-shaded graphics, but it's no different than WoW. It's a solid graphics engine just being used in a different style. All personal preference, except with Champions it's meant to be "cartoony".

EVE

LOTRO

AOC

VG

WoW/WAR (tied)

 

 

 

 

lotro by image quality > wow ..

but in overall.. wow > lotro , dunno vg , war looked only good if you turned everything in nvidia panel ,untill theirs patches killed performance.. dunno if it was fixed now..

 

eve cant be compared to any non space game

 

where you render 5000 objects. and where you render 50.. there is bit of difference if you ask me

wow graphics got lots of enchanmets , and if you didnt play since vannila/tbc you clearly got no clue how it looks

 

latest 3.1 ptr patch ( released today or yesterday ) brought 2 new graphic options, one increased item details (etc players armor ) ( northend only ) and some another with projectiles.. no clue

I don't understand how anyone could say the game has crap graphics because Blizzard just have done wonders with their art style I mean look at something like EQ2 and how dated that looks now and WoW is looking more modern and up to date purely because Blizzard put so much detail into their game.

I havn't played WoW for years but I was amazed at how good it is looking.

WoW's engine has always been forgiving. The art direction has always been interesting. I think the arguments casting the graphics in a negative light have always been reinforced with other objective objections to the game itself. In playtime, I gave wow two shakes (two months), but concept art was never a problem for me (perhaps character customization only). I thought the world was gorgeous, I thought the cities for the virgin visitor were impressive at first exploration, and this is in a time when I started to feel like SWG (EQ2 Engine) was starting to feel dated.

I still don't believe WoW ever "sucked," I just realized it wasnt for me, that doesn't mean it's a bad game.

Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.

Tried: WoW, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Everquest, WWII Online, Planetside

Beta: Lotro, Tabula Rasa, WAR.

i was actually going by graphical style rather than how good the tech is. i prefer more realistic art styles, though lotro just blows my mind for the non realistic graphics. just a preference of mine
