title says it all. I thought the game was just plug ugly so I might have to look at the game again and see if I was too hasty on my judgement of the combat. Right now there is no way I could live with the graphics and combined with the slow motion combat.

Combat is fun. I do agree, the graphics could be better. Regardless of what those say who really do love the game. I like it, it's pretty fun. However, I  also think the graphics aren't up to par to what they should be.

Btw tell your specs so people dont say GET OFF THE EMACHINE THEN, lol...I can hear it now...

Nvidia Geforce 8700M GT with 512mb ram.

the game looks great to my wife and i , not many games look better , different  does not mean better( eq2, vg etc) , if you want the better grafix go play aoc, good luck with the gameplay tho HAHA.

Combat is real fast paced once you get more skills and learn to play , plus its based on weapon speed , i play a tank/ wife plays a healer  and its just as fast as most other mmorpgs out there without being too fast .

 I've found the animation so bad that I may not be getting the game, visually I hate it.

I'm far from a WoW fanboy but something WoW always got right for me was a feeling of weight behind a blow, when my Troll Warrior hit a crit with a big two hander it FELT like it.

Very let down myself.

From what I understand the graphic settings were purposly lowered for beta to help with testing. So even the highest settings you can get in beta are still below what you should see at launch, or so the theory would go.

I think the graphics look great, but everybody likes a different style.

So you actually feel the blow?  Like physically feel it?  Wow...that's an amazing game you're playing there!

 

There was no special animation for crit attacks, just a bigger number.  So that is a rather bullshit statement.

So funny...

He means the combination of a good sound and a good animation. But actually.. maybe he has a chair with vibration as I do and yes you physically feel it.  (before you say it, no not like a real hit either).

Ooops, damn firefox made me double post...ugh ya. I hope graphics look better even though. The graphics are actually pretty good. Really good. You people compare the graphics to the 360 and ps3 too much.

Oh ya and to CaptJack, watch what you post. You may get banned ^^

i seem like the very minute few who like the graphical style. Sure the grass and trees could be a bit more, but otherwise....i like em.

A lot of people love the graphics, they are just playing the game right now~.

The game is still pretty raw, there are certainly graphical glitches, buggy animations etc. The complaints aren't completely unfounded, just exaggerated in some cases.

To above me, ya you're right. Basically everyone's exaggerating. Like I said, they just like to compare stuff to xbox 360/ps3 graphics. But a good company makes stuff even for the ok pcs. We just advanced from WoW, be happy!

{ Mod Edit }

Back on subject, that's exactly what I was thinking earlier. Grass could be cleaner and look more realistic and so could some other features. Graphics aren't bad but could def. be better. Really hope they are holding off the good graphics for retail.

I think I could live with the graphics how they are if the animation had more feel and weight to it.  For the most part it felt jumpy (despite my FPS being very high) and lacked feeling.  I've tried to play an MMO that I didn't visually feel right with before and it didn't work out at all, so it's looking like WAR is going to be a pass for me.

Well, it's being released next week.  you're comparing the game to WoW which has 3+ years of polish.  When WoW first came out, it looked like ass.  It looks half way decent now.

There's no anti aliasing option. Anti aliasing works for me though.. but only with Nvidia card and sometimes it will work for ATI and then stop working.

Enough Said...  Beautiful Graphics.

To me looking at the previous links I would say that there is AA, and the textures get an upgrade.

That's bullshit. I really don't get why some say that. I was in open beta and I didn't see much graphical improvements from wow beta to wow retail.
