WOW beta!

[OB1]

Where exactly did he say that? I think what we're both trying to say is that if Blizzard wants this game to have mass-market appeal then they can't have the requirements be too high. Most people don't go out and buy a new graphics card every 6 months. It doesn't have anything to do with it being "super impressive". It's just an explanation for why the graphics aren't technically impressive.

But it doesn't really matter because the game looks beautiful as it is. This isn't a console game with standardized hardware, it doesn't have to have bleeding edge graphics to be good looking.

I don't know why we're arguing about the graphics anway. What matters is that World of Warcraft is going to bitch slap every other MMO out there and coming out in the near future in the gameplay department.

And I'm sure it will, but that's not what this debate it about. I'm also sure that if they wanted to, they could have made it look better, but again that is not what we're talking about. I'm talking about the end result, how the game looks on a technical level. ABF does not understand that. You do not understand that, and it seems as though LL and DJ don't understand what this debate is about (which is excusable since you three just popped into this debate without knowing what it's about and simply made your own assumptions). ABF is like a flower trying to comprehend a Stanley Kubrick movie. It's simply impossible for him to understand what this debate it about. It is not about gameplay, it is not about art. It's about how good the WoW graphics engines are. And that answer is "not very good". END OF FREAKIN DEBATE.
