And no, graphics don't matter to an extent. I prefer most old games to newer, shinier games. For instance, BF: 1942 >>>> BF3



I might have agreed with you but BF1942's gameplay was shit.

1: Who was talking about Arma 3?

2: If you seriously think that graphics don't matter in a game you're blind. There's a reason we aren't playing text games anymore.

Graphics generally do matter, but how much they matter depends on the person. I'm willing to take lower-quality graphics if it comes with better story and gameplay; other people may disagree.

Zein, don't even bother trying to start. Rob is expressing his opinions on PC exclusive games despite the fact that he doesn't play games, only hamburgers. Not worth it to try and fight that level of dishonesty.

Like I said, I know that you have trouble understanding figurative speaking. It would be hard for me as well if I had a double digit IQ. But please, at least try.

Right. Let's all draw attention to the fact that someone actually said that FFXIII and CC were better than the rest of the series. :p

Meanwhile, Planetside 2 has claimed the world record for most players in an FPS. Which reminds me that i still need to try it out.

FF13 was one of the best movies I've ever played.

The thing was, FF13 as a playable movie was still better than most other crap-shoot RPGs.

FF7 had awful graphics even for the time.

They're all very, very different. The first few are kinda like Pokemon but without any collection. The high era (6-7-8) are kinda like a cross between the first few and Harvest Moon. The most recent titles (13, 13-2 and 13-3) are similar to Baten Kaitos but without the cards.

FF7's graphics don't matter that much. Every game on the PS1 looked like crap, but I still cherish Parasite Eve. FFIV set the standard for JRPGs for a long time and FFX brought the franchise into the new millenium with an innovative level system and engrossing storyline. FFXIII did nothing of the sort except convince many long-time fans that something was missing from the series at that point. XIII is alright, but it's certainly no instant classic.

It pretty much no longer has the big organized scene it used to, so instead of awe-inspiring megabattles between clans it's just sort of dumbfuckery spawnkilling and exploding everything.

At first, I was able to see your posts as opinions and such. Blunt, not very informative ones, but opinions nonetheless. Aaaand then you started sliding head-on into trollville. Bad. Naughty. No biscuit.

Hopefully you'll answer my question:

Just to clarify for everybody, will the thread be at risk of closing if a PC vs Console debate is begun anew? (Minus flamebaiting and name-calling)

What? I love JRPGs, and spent most of my life playing pre-2005 games. I still rank Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean as one of the greatest role playing games in history, and I've never really been a fan of classical WRPGs like KOTOR or the D&D-based games.

I just didn't find FF7 or 8 to be that enjoyable, especially compared to 1, 13, and the CC one for the gamecube.
