What happened to the gameplay?

[biglips88]

Im not sure if anyone else notices.. but these days as technology advances, the expectations of gamers are increasingly getting higher.. graphics wise. But seriously, is it really about the amazing GODLIKE graphics? I for one could care less.

Take Gears of War for example.. its was pretty hyped on the X-Box 360 awhile back. It boasted amazing graphics. But i was very disappointed when i demo-ed it. Because of the complexity of the controls.

Another thing about good graphics, it usually means a high polygon count for the models in the game. A higher polygon count means more processing power would be required to run the game smoothly. Not everyone has the money to upgrade their PC's to the latest top end systems. Not everyone is an enthusiast with techology. Some people just want to play to pass time, to have fun. And we all know what the number 1 game ruining experience is.. LAG, whether it be connection wise, or simply because your PC just isnt capable of processing fast enough.

Im sad to say that ive been unable to play some of the 'Great' new games that require some crazy high-end graphics card to run. My PC just wont support it.. and im sure im not the only one. I miss the old days where games used sprites, and ran smoothly, like starcraft and red alert 2. The games that were actually simple, yet challenging and took an effort to complete. I personally dislike most of the new market today. Of course there is a point at which graphics were so bad.. To be honest i cant stand those either.

As of now.. the only games i think are actually good. Warcraft is 1 of them, WoW is another.. Blizzard simply has a way with creating games that target the whole market of people with computers instead of just the people with high end computers.

Bottom line: I dont give a damn about the model details.. i just want a fun game that i can enjoy the challenge to. One that i can just sit down and burn some time when im bored.

Im inviting everyone to share their opinion on this. Im pretty sure im not the only one who see's it this way..

I dont agree with you on this one mate. Graphics and gameplay is a lot better. It seems more fun when the graphics are amazing on 7th generation consoles.

i didnt find the controls 'complex' in GoW.

anyway, i like having more polygons! but i have a good PC that can play all the new games and the 360 for other stuff. But if you want fun u should get a Nintendo wii. i have one and its not about graphics there, its just about fun.

Yeh i got Zelda and even though the Wii isn't about graphics i gotta say they compete with the 360 IMO

Graphics and Gameplay are getting more real-a-listic everytime a new game hits the shelves..
