ajrunke Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nothing like walking into the lion's den and poking him with a stick....These graphics look sub par. Don't get me wrong, I'm immensely excited for this game, but they look a little lackluster; especially row 2, column 3. Honestly, it looks last gen.

Don't get me wrong, I'm immensely excited for this game, but they look a little lackluster; especially row 2, column 3. Honestly, it looks last gen. Thats because it IS last gen. This game was designed for consoles and theyre really lagging PC hardware right now, as they are late in their lifespan, especially the Xbox360. This being said, given this very immutable reality, Skyrim looks really good. If it was a pure PC title I'd say it was inexcusably bad, but thats not the case. The good news is that through graphical mods, we should be able to give it a pretty good facelift, given the necessary hardware to do so.

The graphics look great, and even if they're not up to speed with other games, they're a mile over Oblivion's. Especially the NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh...some shots look good, others....not so much. http://www.ripten.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/RiftenGuard.png Believe me, I'm going to play the hell out of this game and enjoy every second of it, but that still doesn't take away my right to be slightly disappointed in the graphics. If I had it in me, I'd wait a long time to allow graphic enhancement mods, but I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me re instate my opinion that your an idiot .. but also lemme explain to you that this is a console game and grounded by console capabilities .. for an open world game of its scale the graphics it presents are absolutely stellar .. This is the best looking RPG on the market besides the witcher 2 and the witcher 2 is not having to deal with the processes this game does .. the mass amounts of NPC Ai .. the pickable plants .. wildlife .. the HUGE lod levels required for the massive landscape .. This game is pushing every limit to get to the point its at .. I get that you probably dont know jack squat about videogame development but don't go around talking trash cause trust me I'll point out every flaw in your eyesight on these graphics topics .. Ive been working with CGI and real time rendering for years and know a graphics pushing game when I see one. P.S. .. sorry for calling you an idiot :dry: .. I read a lot of comments of a lot of games about graphics from people who have lots of "opinions" but little knowledge on the topic and I get a little pissy :confused: Edited October 18, 2011 by jedimembrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people may bash me for saying this, but I absolutely hate the xbox!You jumped all over him for having an opinion tho Jedi, ouch... EDIT: I am perfectly comfortable with the graghic level,... it looks right, feels right, and more looks better than I thought a moddable TES game could :) (as stupid as that sounds)besides, less time on graghical content means more so on gameplay content Edited October 18, 2011 by El`derina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, my opinion may be that you post like a rabid fanboi who'd defend crap in a box if Bethesda sold it, but if I threw that around as freely as you just did with him, the tread would just be a bitchfest after a couple posts, and would be totally unproductive, right? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
