Age of Conan still looks the best to me. I like the realistic style.

Tera has the best polygon graphics but GW2 takes the cake art style wise for me.

Originally posted by BadSpock I am not playing TSW now (did not like it in Beta + don't agree with putting even cosmetic CS in sub game) but it graphics were very good. Point when uncanny valley effect start is very difftent amonst difftrent people. Besides graphics there are also stylzed (althrough only a little). What was bad is character faces althrough I heard they did give more options some times after release. I don't think it has best graphics in mmorpg world but it is good graphics. |

Thing with gw2, it almost has very nice graphics, but then it breaks it with 2 things.
The annoying console style fov / camera that sends you dizzy Those god awful flat low res ground textures |

Voted Tera as best combination of character and environment. AOC was my first thought solely for environment, but falls short on character.
GW2 art just feels off for me. I can't nail down why.
Note: I'm assuming graphics refers to overall visual presentation, not specifically to bleeding edge rendering effects or art style.

Originally posted by BadSpock Liking or not liking the art style and implementation has nothing to do with the actual graphics. That is defined by technical parameters which are quantified. In that case TSW world is superior to most other mmos.
I can't stand the style of certain mmos as well but I do not say their graphics suck. I also like the look and feel of older mmos over some newer ones but do not pretend that they are graphically superior.
What people are used to playing also heavily affects their opinion. I've heard so many times (and even experience it myself) from Wow players that they can barely play other mmos because they neither feel nor look right. This is entirely due to the countless hours of playing Wow. I was completely used to playing Asherons Call for years but if I go back now I can barely play it or stand how to play it because I have gotten used to other games. Even new games take a little getting used to but once many hours have been played even the most distracting games become second nature or even liked. |

I'm on mobile so I can't vote yet but I'm assuming FF14 is there and would be my vote. Not for a subjective artstyle reason, though I'm a fan in that regard, but strictly from texturing and realism. Unmatched IMO.
Dear developers, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks before I say "meh". It's a shame and I'd rather not do that to something you put so much of yourself in to. |

GW2 is a perfect example of how good artistic directors can make the most out of a fairly simple engine. Like Maria Muldaur once said, "It ain't the meat, it's the motion."

You left out EvE, TSW, and FFXIV? Not a very good poll imo. Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

TERA hands down. I am not sure about the girly looking men (elves and what not) and those children in panties, but everything else is jaw dropping. I played GW 2 back to back with TERA and altough GW 2 has really nice GFX, TERA is another level.  |

Another one missing is the planetside 2 beta.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What some people like, others will not. I can play any game listed on max settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I voted for SWTOR because the art kept true and upgraded from KOTOR 1 and 2. World of Tanks and EVE online for some unknown reason are not on this list look fantastic. AOC and Rift looked really good on my Laptop. AION and Tera looked too anime-ish for me and is a turn off, but in artwise they look good. GW2 is close to being Anime-ish in a way, but still looks good. All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care. |

also for anyone who hasn't seen this before it's a good video of comparing graphics and aesthetics and sort of shows how people can really like a games look a lot better with decent graphics but great asthetics than the one with a higher polygon count http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/graphics-vs.-aesthetics I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Originally posted by ShakyMo It does not really have that good graphics to be honest. I mean they are not bad but nothing really good. Which is to be expected considering this is totally open and seamless world and games like that cannot have best of best graphics simply because that would make it unplayable on most systems + those game worlds are bigger and it would cost more to make it as detailed as in smaller zoned games. |
