I refused to play it(played it for about 20 seconds, gameplay)<br /><br />Need For Speed Undercover, GREAT graphics but.. at the time I didn't have a good system so I had to run it on low graphic settings and it looked awful, so I refused to play it.<br /><br />Mini Ninjas, looked awful on my system the first time I tried it, refused to play it.Finished it after 2 years right after I bought a better system.<br /><br />Maestia, although it is a MMORPG, I only played it after I got my new system.. before that.. refused to play it.<br /><br />Freedom Fighters, same story.<br /><br />Need For Speed Most Wanted, <br />Wanted, <br />Just Cause 2, <br />Far Cry,<br />Split Second,<br />Driver,<br />same story, played them only after I had a better system that could run them on high or highest graphic setting.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Overall, in my opinion, "60%" is kinda a little low when it comes to game graphics.<br /><br />Take care & have fun.<br /><br /><br />Savage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345578473347740069.post-40877582930414382352012-02-26T19:31:33.259-05:002012-02-26T19:31:33.259-05:00A good story is, sad to say, usually the product o...A good story is, sad to say, usually the product of one individual's hard work. Most often, games are designed by an entire team of people, so no single vision has the chance to shine through. This "design by committee" policy tends to cripple video game stories before they even get off the ground.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069879386441874383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345578473347740069.post-45792085744395986772012-02-26T16:08:23.406-05:002012-02-26T16:08:23.406-05:00I would agree.

I'm not saying I'm the king of either of these things, but I can say that good games always have great stories and games I'll play again and again have amazing story elements. Graphics come second for me.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603877733091813729noreply@blogger.com
