And I'm sorry but WoW looks way better than Lotro, EQ2 and VG don't let your hate blind you. turn the graphics settings up.

 Seriously? You can say with a straight face that WoW has better graphics than LotRO? You are confusing art direction with graphics, you may prefer the cartoon art look that WoW provides (it is well done) but no way is it graphically better than LotRO. Heck, Guild Wars looks a lot better than WoW.

Of course I can say WoW looks better than Lotro. Who gives a shit about poly counts, im talking artistic style and flair shit that keeps a game looking nice for years. Games like EQ2 and VG have horrible plastic like characters models with terrible animations.  WoW has alot of style,great animations and spell effects. Everything is nice a clean in WoW.

The environments look freaking awesome in WoW, I personally don't need a realistic gameworld just one that flows together nicely.  One for my favorite things about TOR atm is its awesome artistic style. A game like TOR will look awesome alot longer than a game like AoC will since realistic graphics age worse than stylized ones do.

Lotro, EQ2 and VG messed up. they have this odd mix of realistic and stylized graphics that just seem off to me.

Edit: I would like to add that i'm not a graphics designer or anything when I say graphics I'm talking about what I see on my PC screen from the gameworld to my character to animations to UI and how they blend together and right now WoW is one of the best at that.

It is only a contest when people make it one.

I don't think anything else need to be said about this topic.

Are you Zorndorfs brother?

I don't think I've ever seen someone who says WoW looks better than Lotro. To each their own I guess.

To each his own is right...Saying WoW looks better than LOTRO is like saying Pac Man looked better than LoZ

I Totally agree with the fact the WoWs UI and BG animations blend well. But IF you have a higher end PC/MAC and turn ur Graphics up on LOTRO Then the Graphics Blend together to give you a real Middle Earth Feel. I was a LOTRO Soldier since Beta, and its the best MMO ive played

I have to agree, I think it's perfectly acceptable for someone to say that the art design of WoW is more to his liking. I easily know several people who prefer the artistic style of some 20th century artists such as pollack over any of the Dutch Masters. Yet the level of technique utilized in say, a Rembrandt, is far higher.

Can you guys not carry on a debate or conversation without insulting people? Sorry but lotro is on my list for a reason, bad animations, slow combat, uninspired and generic classes, Mobs that seem out of place in the game world, bad pvp, and really bad dungeons and raids when you consider how good WoWs are.

Why don't you stop being a hater and actually look at my top 10 list, now those games are the best games ever created in the genre. so no my "mmo tastes" aren't skewed.

My top 10 is a lot different than your top 10. However, I know that it is just preference on my part. Opinion does not equal fact. You are presenting your views as fact which clearly they are opinion. I don't think anyone has actually insulted you but the way you are presenting your opinions is rather antagonistic.

Half the games in your 10 ten list are complete and uter crap and one isn't even really an MMO. So ya your views on MMOs = skewed (their word) crap (my word).

Yeah amazing games like SWG, AC, EQ and UO are crap? the two best sandbox games atm Ryzom and Eve are crap? DAoC Crap? CoH? AO? crap are you crazy!  wth do you play F2p mmos?!?!?!?! As far as GW not being a mmo i disagree but I refuse to have a ten page convo on that topic.

Seriously what do you play that's better than those games?!? If it wasn't for most of those game you wouldn't be playing the crap you play now buddy. Shit, most of this forum would agree to the majority of this list, you're the one that has crap taste in mmos dude.

Easy, kids. There's plenty of MMO to go around.

Of course SWG is crap. It's so much crapp stuffed in a box LA is pushing it under the rug with TOR. I would think you would figure that out...this here being a TOR forum...for the game TOR...the MMO to replace the crap crap and now crap crap and dying SWG. How did this most obvious fact escape you anways? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to have a 10 page convo.

As for you other MMOs, I'd respond to them, but I'm gonna need a while, right now I'm too busy watching you pop veins in your forehead.

And just for the record, if you really want to be stupid enough to "poll the majority" WoW would roflheclicopterairliftinganelphantstomp your other 9 craps with it's 11.6 Million subscribers. Also, the vast majority of WoW players would flat out detest your other 8 MMOs so I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make.

Just saying.

Well said PapaB34R. All though I kinda disagree with the graphics really denting WoW player base (most of the graphics whores moved to AoC). There expansions of mind numbing repetitive Instances/pvp will.

 

I believe this to be true but I dont believe it will be forever. Games cant survive by new content alone, after some time people get bored of the mechanics, the setup and maybe most importent outdated graphics. I think this is an issue many people choose to overlook. Take AoC for example had it not had stunningly good graphics it wouldve been dead by now or LOTRO one of its strong points is having better gfx then WoW, its like WoWs better looking little brother.

Every MMO that is released now is better looking then WoW, thats just fact. This is WoWs absolutley biggest flaw. "Why it has many other issues much more talked about?" This may be true but WoW fanbois doesnt really care about that and although they may say they dont care about graphics... well its bullshit, they just dont want someone taking away their precious baby.

With this said, graphics are far, far from everything you need to make a succesive game. But it lifts a good game to being a fantastic game, take Gears of War and Crysis for instance. None of those two would be considered great games without its good looks, sure they have great other mechanics but its the look that give them the edge over other similar games.
