Quote:This is about which game looks better, and athetics matter a lot. Obviously EQ2 can push more polys, but who cares... WoW is hardly behind the curve graphically. Yes the character poly counts aren't super high, but they aren't super low and the environments look great too you know, better than EQ2's do...
Aesthetics are completely subjective while technical merit is not. As I said, you could call Mario World the best-looking game ever made if you think it has the best art ever. WoW is most definitely behind the graphics curve, and you can easily tell that it was created with shitty PCs in mind.
Quote:Oh, and consider this. WoW comes out in beta in like a week. How long until we get EQ2? I don't know, but I bet it isn't this week... and also how many people will be able to play online with it looking like that? Yeah. Compared to WoW, which will be different...
Again you try to spin this debate. You can't win, so you spin. So sad. This is not about which game is coming out first, which is completely irrelevent (and really, the game coming out later has even more of an edge since it's going to look even better). It's also not about which one can run on a shitty PC better. The fact that you bring that up puts a huge hole into your argument.
