Is this the most graphically-impressive MMO on the horizon?

    It's instantly recognizable and that's what matters because you want people to instantly know it's your game.

    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

    I will play gw2 because of the features it should provide, but tbh the graphics aren't that great to me, they look nice, but the mobs and the gameworld don't really sync up to me.

     

    It feels too much like im at Anet headquarters and they are just plopping down monsters into an empty gameworld without polishing the fluidness of it all. 

     

    And yes I played the demo....

It could be a little depressing, but there was this sort of silent beauty about the place, the giant stone trees, the green ferns adding contrast to the gray stone and ground combined with the oppressive atmosphere. Not to deny the Jade Sea its credit though, its just easier to make something look nice when you have frozen waves and a clear sky. The colors are simply more appealing.

    And of course, you have everybody's favorite, Pre-searing Ascalon. I don't think I've seen that much attention put into an area, let alone the tutorial area, of a game in a very long time.

    Of course Echovald is another example. And pre-Searing was a hell of a teaser. It was an incredibly bold move what they did with that and i admire Arenanet for the balls they had until today.

    No, it's not the most graphically impressive. However, that being said, it IS graphically impressive. In my opinion TERA holds that title for the time being. Not very interested in playing TERA (whereas I am very interested in GW2), but the avatar details and scenics are top quality.

    Thats a matter of taste, i guess. The one bend forward/upskirt female animation turned me off to a degree that i don't plan on playing TERA anymore. It's that ridiculous: no class, no style, just cheapness. Which is a shame because the animations are top notch technically.

    But the older i get the more picky i get when it comes to artdirection.

    I wouldn't say it's a matter of taste. What is a matter of taste is the art style behind it which I'm not very fond of. But you definitely can't compete with UE3.

     Cry engine 2 would like a word with you... Anyway Lol just lol just because a game uses the UE3 doesn't mean it's automatically graphically impressive. The engine is merely a tool it's the developer that determines how good it looks. It's like giving a painter the best and biggest vareity of paints and brushes, if he's crap his work will be crap regardless of how good his tools are.

    I never said cry engine 2 isn't better, I was talking about Unreal engine 3 and gw2, of course the developers determine how good it looks and so far I can see they used every niche of the engine to make it look amazing.

    gw2 has its unique style and art, and I believe everyone will be pleased with its graphics, that don't require strong computer.

    Topic was best, not best but can be played on an average PC.

    Final Fantasy XIV has the best by Miles...... sadly right now that is the ONLY thing in that game that excels over any other mmo and youll get bored after only a few days of playing. P.S. This game is dx9.

    Comming in 2nd is Kingdom Under Fire 2

    This game is one of those that the company doesn't believe in advertising, like at all.

    unlike FFXIV this game will probably have tons of content, and unlike 90% of these MMOs, will also be unique.

    But be warned, if your a moron, you wont like this game. It wont take a rocket scientist to play, but the casual "yo bro" gamer won't last in here.

     

    I've seen Tera and Rift, while good in comparison to other "older" mmos, clearly they have nothing unique and special about them, at least in art design. Not gameplay. They're just more cartoon art WoW rip offsith extremely minor differences in art usage.

    Even GW2 has horrible wall/floors. Way too flat and unrealistic compared to XIV and KUF2 art.

     Why do you do this?
