Whatever guys. Doom 3 had a weak, linear single player game but still sold plenty. Anyone who reads game reviews knows that a game always gets bashed if it has bad graphics or comes from a console.

btw, anyone who says they don't buy games for the graphics doesn't have enough money to upgrade their mom's cellyron 128mb sd crapola computer.

I like graphics, but some of the best RPGs I have ever played were on the SNES. And I still love them today.

That doesn't even count as an arhument, much less a rant. Graphics do factor in a little bit, but when I bought and played Worms: Armageddon on the PC (back when I cared about upgrading), I sure as hell didnt buy it for the graphics
 
I never buy games for graphics alone. For me, it's all about the gameplay, even to the point where I would rather play a RPG from 11 years ago rather than a crappy game like Doom 3.

Worms Armageddon is awesome! Too bad 3d or forts aren't as fun 🙁

Not nearly enough angst and your anger level leaves something to be desired.

Keep trying though.

THANK YOU!!
Those were percisely the two games that popped into my head!

When a version of windows comes out that wont play either of those games, I will make a nice little nForce 2 system with windows 98. Just so I can have those two and maybe Imperium Glactica II and Magic: The Gathering. I am thinking a GeForce 4 TI will do well in that situation.

EDIT: I actually thought they both had excellent graphics. (When they debuted.)
 
My favourite FPS of all time is still Duke Nukem 3D for the excellent gameplay, co-op and maps, though it's obviously outclassed graphically by anything released in the last five years.

For many of us true gamers, gameplay > *. That is in fact what made me enjoy the original Halo - the graphics were nothing to write home about compared to PC games of that time, but a good System Link game beat anything you could do on a LAN/online with a PC.
 
FURTHER RANTING:
Most of us thought Doom would be a great GAME.
I feel cheated out of my money. But sometimes I get suprised.
I didnt have high hopes for Dawn of War and it was really good.
 
The only reason it sold so many is because it was the only better version of the original 3D 1st person shooter and everyone grew up playing it. Why *not* buy the next version that took for freaking ever to release? It was WAY overhyped. It was marketed as a videogame when, in reality, all it accomplished was exist as a "portfolio" of sorts for John Carmack. "Hey look what I can do! I can create worlds that look FANTASTIC. I can't right a plot for sh|t, but hey I can create worlds that look FANTASTIC!"

The only other competitor for D3 is HL2. HL2 excels because it's got such a better story line and physics engine. If you could merge the fantastic graphics of Doom3 with the physics engine and storyboard writers of HL2, you'd have a blockbusting game that would take years and years to beat.
 
graphics just happen to be one of many factors by which I judge games on.

they're not the most important factor, but they're definitely a factor.
 
I have a 9800 pro...doesn't give the best FPS anymore...but does give me graphics. I also have a A64 3200+. Again, not top of the line, but good enough. When I got doom 3 and HL2...yeah...that DEF was for graphics...but when i went out to get splinter cell: chaos theory...i was looking forward to the gameplay and graphics weren't THE most important thing to me at that time. Thankfully, it had very good graphics(IMHO) and the gameplay rocked...though I felt the game itself was a bit short and could've been longer. So I guess you cant generalize about everybody. I'd be lying to you if i said i didn't get games for graphics...but i do get some games for the gameplay(very few...because you cant expect innovative gameplay from a lot of games)..

my $0.02
 
I agree that Doom3, HL2, and Farcry all had awful, boring, extremely linear gameplay.

But people need something to test their new ati 850xtpe 512mb ultra extreme e-peni edition on right?
