This isn't about whether or not a game can be good with terrible graphics, we aren't arguing that, this is about whether or not DF's graphics are good, which they are not.

says the frantic fanboy. I'll give you a tip -- if a games graphics were deisgned and built well, than the game will still look good at low settings..  this game doesn't look good on any settings.. Even the GUI graphics look like total shit.

The things is,  this toon is wearing armor, shoulders, chest, GLOVES ... knowing that and seeing this hand just cracks me up

Very poorly designed, and aaaabsurd, but fuuuuny

What a stupid poll.  Good graphics = good game amirite?  I mean just look at AoC....

And wow i didnt know so many people that think the game is going to be bad are regulars on these forums. Hmm....

And I cant belive people still say the graphics look bad, when they clearly do not.

Oh well publicity is publicity.

 Better than WoW graphics, easily. And I love how stupid the first poll is. apparently graphics = how good the game is going to be. Using that logic, WoW should have imploded upon leaving the gate. 

Also, you don't seem to want to consider that this is 

A. an indie company

B. a twitch based game, where lag will result in a lot of heartache

C. Has to process massive 200 man battles

D. Has to process physics, collision detection, wind and arrow trajectories

Do you honestly believe the graphics should have been better? As it is now, they're still easily the third best on the market.

Some people can ignore reality signusM.  No matter how many great screenshots you show them, they will continue to say it has terrible graphics.
 

Can anyone ever actually be happy with the graphics in a game without it looking like real life? That's the feeling I get from people when they star threads like this.

The game devs have to make a game that can run on a multitude of hardware.

Yup, and this one is horrible too. http://www.darkfallonline.com/gallery/visuals/dc_01?full=1

It looks fking great, and the funny thing is that I red a post about AoC the dx10 feature, the poster posted a screenshot and was pointing out how nice it looked.

Then the fps part came, this is just to fking funny.

The poster had a gtx280 1gig, an E8500 dual core ( 3.16Ghz per core, he had it overclocked too 3.75Ghz per core ) and 4 gigs of ram.

He got an amazing 50fps in the game, WOW that's amazing!

Even funnier, a quote from the poster.

''As far as going into low framerate territory, my rig dropped roughly 10FPS with full DX10 settings on TL. This game is pretty much all CPU and RAM, so I'd say you'll see a larger ratio decrease, based on your specs above... Then again, I'm not gonna try to be all big-headed like the asshats on this forum, so I could be totally wrong. Try downloading the duplicator tool and hop on TL, see for yourself!''

hahahaha

For the ones who don't know anything about the rig stuff I posted.

Lets say it's easily capable of running Crysis in 1920 by 1200 at the highest settings possible.

This is epic, AoC is the most laughable game ever.

despite what the fanbois say above, the graphics aren't "great" they are mediocre/passable including the animations, just looking @ the screenshots though (where you can't see animations) they are pretty good for an mmo, better than Lotro in my opinion (obviously better than WAR and WoW).

and why is this obviously troll thread being stretched so far out, a game doesn't have to have good graphics to be a good game, and bad graphics does not make a game bad.

Your silly lol... You do know this is a forum for mmo's right?

My poll doesn't ask 'Does good graphics mean good game' as you seem to think. It actually asks 'Do good graphics evoke positive feelings in you about the forthcoming game'. A very different question. Not my fault if you're not bright enough to make the distinction, eh?

"I think the graphics seem high quality - and presage an excellent game
I think the graphics are low quality - and portend a game that will be disappointing"

Your options clearly say that graphics and gameplay are connected (portend + presage means to predict for erryone who doesn't know), and that how good the graphics are is an omen to how good the game is.

Bad graphics do NOT lead to bad gameplay, and if anything, the opposite may be true.

The game looks decent. I'm not particularly impressed but it's good enough. What bugs me more than anything is how horrible the animations look. I've never thought I'd say that cosmetics can ruin a game with how poor everything "flows" in animation. It's extremely clunky and awkward; reminds me of the animations in Morrowind.

Please don't tell me that my poll says precisely the opposite of what I actually did sat - especially if you're going to be so stupid as to actually cut-and-paste my text which patently proves you wrong.

In brief, my questions can be summarised as; "does the quality of the graphics make you favourably or unfavourably disposed towards the game?"

If you can't understand that then I request you stop clogging up this thread with your asinine comments.

this game will be unique! unlike some other games but whos to say.Hahahaha.Smile people

I'm going to have to agree with rageagainst on this, you did inadvertently imply that graphics will make or break the game in your poll. You should've allowed other options such as, "I think the graphics are transcendental , but  superlative graphics don't always presage an estimable game."

In other words mate, stop being so damn pompous, and heed the advice and criticism of your peers. -Your poll sucked.
