Dragon's Dogma (PS3/360)

[JerichoDeath]

This game would be a breath of fresh air after playing... I don't know, World of Warcraft?

Although they're not even the same genre, even disregarding scale.

Kinda the point?
I mean, this game isn't really similar to Elder Scrolls... it's the same kind of comparison.

It's just you seemed to pluck World of Warcraft out of thin air there, that's all, threw me a bit. Mostly as I can't think of anyone here who's been playing that, if ever.

I played a private server of WoW years ago just to see what all the hype was about. It really wasn't all that exciting.

Oh, it's just the first popular game that I could think of that has puke-graphics.
Plus, Dragon's Dogma has been compared with MMOs, even though it isn't one.

Well, it's a bit pointless to compare it to an MMO I'd think. Even comparing the graphics to something like World of Warcraft is a bit unfair, as that came out in 2004, nearly 8 years ago, and is highly stylised to try and get around its limitations, whereas Dragon's Dogma goes for a more realistic look.

I think you're striking the nail on the head with that one.
Very similar to what I was saying.

Although, WoW has been updated multiple times.

You can only do so much with the same engine and trying to maintain the same low minimum system requirements however.

Doesn't matter to me. I'd probably find the game to be boring as mud.
Point still stands though.

Well, graphics aren't gameplay, so no amount of engine tweaking is going to make the actual gameplay systems any better for you.

Why are we talking about WoW, again?
It was just an example of a bad example~

boring as mud.

Hey don't be hating on MUD's, MUD's can actually be pretty fun.

Your silly wordplay doesn't effect me~! Hahaha~!

I guess World of Warcraft would look nice after playing Super Mario 64, too. There was no point made. It's almost as asinine as trying to defend Neptunia by saying it has no protrusive sexual undertones or innuendo. All right, that might have been a bit harsh. Those folk are just intentionally(?) blind.

Personally, I'd venture to say that I'd prefer World of Warcraft. It is stylized, but at least it doesn't look like the developers were scratching their skulls thinking, "Huh? I wonder how we can shove all these textures and models into this hardware? We make them as low res as possible!" (Which is likely exactly what they were thinking.)

[JerichoDeath]

No, you weren't reading my posts... again. There was the point. Made clear as day.
The point was about how terrible an example Elder Scrolls is an a comparison game.
Maybe I was just too subtle again...

Although, you don't seem to have been looking at this game when thinking about how bad it's looking... since it doesn't look bad.

EDIT:
No, WoW doesn't look like that...
It's far too bland to look like that.

I'm not sure this is entirely related to the topic at hand, but I thought Dragons Dogma was pretty bad looking when I played the demo, but I also don't think that was entirely the games fault. It might have just been the demo that looked crappy (it sure did do a bad job of showing off anything interesting about that game, something Giant Bomb's quick look did a way better job at).
