have nothing against this game but it is sad that all people think about now is graphics


because of that mentality, the DC dead. When dealing with the mainstream, graphics is everything, Hype is second, gameplay is somewhere in the middle.

Ok, XBOX 1 thing "gameplay". If you have a game great graphics but is 30 min long, and its an rpg thats gonna be a sucky game. Or if its a fighting game super graphics but 5 moves per character it will suck. Take an adventure game. Awsome graphics atleast 4 hours long, but........................only 2-10 different type of enemys. Screens and graphics dont mean anything. FF7 is a great example of a super game with good graphics for its time. Or what about MGS1? How bout all the final fantasys! That game may have awsome graphics, but gameplay does always come first.

Obviously, but not to the mainstream. Pretty graphics and company Hype and advertisment is what sells.

 Yes, but when people buy the game and find out it sucks they will tell people and people will stop buying the games.

true, but Graphics will always be the eye catcher, the whip cream on the top if you will.

But Sega is a different case. They gave you a Dreamcast with gobs of fudge, three scoops of real fudge ripple ice cream, finely crumbed cookies, a second layer of light hot fudge, 100% real whipped cream and a candied cherry on top...

but the previous bowls of ice cream they gave you had hairs in it (Sega CD), and they drooled in it (32X), and didn\'t wash their hands before serving it (Saturn). By this point, most people wouldn\'t give them a fourth chance, even when they finally got it right.

The 32X was NOT a system! It was an add-on, much like beloved Sony\'s HDD. :) Don\'t drag its good name into this fiasco.

Personally, I don\'t see a reason to get excited over these screenshots. For one reason.. They are just that. Screenshots! A game can look stunning and play like total crap (Hello? Z.OE?!? The Bouncer?!) . Excuse me, if I don\'t get esatic about screenshots. But, I\'ve been let down plenty of times just because a game looked good.

I don\'t see a compelling reason to own an Xbox right now. I have always said I will buy one, and I will. I just won\'t get it at launch as I had previously planned. Instead, I\'ll just spend my money on a GC and a couple games. Then, when MS comes out with something that interests me, I\'ll make my purchase.

But hey, ignore me. I\'ve been bitter ever since a certain MS Extreme Event Expo...
:mad:
