Neo-Geo Dead...

[A Black Falcon]

You made yourself very clear. You think that graphics that were good enough ten years ago are still good enough today.

Fine, I'll repeat the same thing in different words for the five hundredth time and just hope that this time it gets past the wall you have between reading something and understanding it...

When a game has good graphics, I notice and like it. When I play Warcraft III I play it at maxed graphical settings. I only don't use a better graphics option if it has a downside -- like in RtCW I turned down character detail settings because with 128mb ram it slowed down way too much sometimes when an enemy appeared... or in Baldur's Gate II I or Diablo II didn't use 800x600 (and stuck with 640x480) because I didn't like how small everything was in those resolutions. Especially BG2. But I usually play FPSes at 1024x768... saying that I don't appreciate good graphics is insane. Your problem is that like usual you read what I say and don't take it to mean what I mean it to but what you want it to, and stick to that despite how much I try to tell you otherwise! It's INCREDIBLY frusterating.

See you seem to be thinking 'okay he doesn't mind playing games with poor graphics so he dislikes good graphics' or something stupid like that.

... okay, sometimes I do like older graphics better than newer... but often that's closely tied to style. Warlords Battlecry may have 'better' graphics than Warcraft II but it has such a bland style that I prefer WC2, by far. Or Disciples II vs HOMMIV, etc... For old games (like you said you do) I don't think of them in terms of modern games but in terms of the time... but if a game with "older" graphics is artistically better than a newer game, I'd probably call it better looking (overall) because style is so important... more than technical probably. Given how you act you don't seem to agree with that statement. When you talk about how good graphics are, you obviously focus on technical. I don't. That's what brought on our whole World of Warcraft arguement... YET YOU STILL SHOW A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF MY POSITION! That's only possible if you are not even trying to think about what I mean, but it's so blatantly obvious that that's how you operate that it's hardly surprising.
