ABF, as usual you don't even know what this debate is about. It's technical, not aesthetic. Aesthetics are far too subjective, and someone can consider Mario World to be the best-looking game ever simply because they love the art in the game. Personally, I consider ICO to be the most beautiful game ever made, but I would never proclaim that it has better graphics than Doom 3. Conversely, I despise Doom 3's art style but I admire its technical magnificence. WoW is aesthetically pleasing, but on a purely technical level it's pretty bad. I don't find Everquest 2 to be aesthetically pleasing but on a technical level it's really amazing for a MMORPG. And before you say it yes, aesthetics are a very important part of graphics. But when I said that EQ2 is much more graphically impressive than WoW, I made it very clear that I meant technically-speaking.
