The first game, not the second one. I am thinking of buying it. However, if the graphics are too crappy I don't think I will be able to get into it. Supposedly, it's one of the best games ever. Thoughts?

EDIT (2/25) - I bought it. I shall see if it lives up to the hype.

for me it's not only a graphic but the gameplay too, and in old games mostly it feels realy archaic, and thats bad, very bad...

I assume you dislike fantasy games due to your dislike of archaic things?

Just pointing out that you're confused about archaic things automatically being bad. Archaic games (like Super Mario Bros) can be great.

I write "mostly" ;) And archaic style of gameplay is like pain in the ass most in 3D games, the old 2D games are more improved, for example Another World in my opinion will be forever great game becouse is very universal ;)

I haven't downloaded it yet. Everyone says it is good. I will see this weekend. I loved the 2nd one, and this one is supposed to be better.

The 2nd is supposedly the worst of the trio. I've only played the 1st in depth and it's amazing. Again, if you find any problem with the graphics, there are texture and graphics mods.

I just played it a few months ago and I thought it was really good. A lot better than Human Revolution. If you never played games from that era then maybe you won't like the graphics, but I didn't think they were half bad.

i already didnt like the graphics when it was new. I recently won it and it's really a great game and I can even understand those who prefer it over HR,although I dont belong to those guys.

NO. Go play it. And install the HR mods.

Nostalgia goggles.

If you liked a game when it first came out, you'll like it despite the poor graphics. If you're just getting into it now, it'll be a distraction. It'd likely the same for many of you, even those preaching that "graphics don't matter".

The only genre dated graphics work in is isometric RPG's, usually because the 2D visuals are good enough.

Perfectly said. I can even apply that to myself with FF7, Chrono Cross, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. I can still play FF7 because I played and fell in love with it when it first came out. I recently tried playing the other 2 games for the first time, but couldn't get more than 5-10 mins into them due to their graphics.

Not true, there's lots of old good games I didn't play as a kid, and I usually enjoy playing them no a lot. Obviously graphics got old, but who cares, as long as I have fun playing, the game is good. 3D ones as well.

Throw in graphics mods and maybe shifter and then it looks passable and the world is still great. One of the main things is just how open ended and variable this game is. So many ways to get around...

i prefer the biomod over shifter. Shifter changes the gameplay a bit too much imo,I really liked the fact that unlike HR you are not rewarted for not killing enemys so its really totally up to you. However in shifter you get XP for every enemy and how you get rid of them. Didnt like that. Biomod has all the good benefits from shifter and the neat feature that implants that only use energy when actually being used stay activated so you get a little less micromanagement. However I totally understand if ppl prefer the shifter mod.

this is madness! blasphemy! buy the game and play it for the story there a lots of games that use old concept graphics and make a huge succes if they would update the graphics of old games when the tecnology evolves many old games would be the best game ever and forever
the kids nowdays only look at how much graphic memory a game uses to judge how much is it worth, try it if you will be disappointed you have lost near to nothing since it's old, by the way is up to you i love it's story and all

It was not aged well because you use the keyboard to aim since it was from the pre-mouse age so those using mice may have problems even in the new version

I find it kind of sick that people can go back and appreciate old movies, music, and books, but can't do the same with games because of some hangup about the visuals.

that's quite different. Visuals are far more affected by the technological improvemens than music or books.

music and books change of genre more than anything depending of the time they were made/written. Music does have a better fidelity quality nowadays but that's easy to get over it.

with books you always have the same thing, words on paper. Nothing really affected by the technology when it comes to quality of the product.

Videogames are different because the standard for their visuals and animations go up every year and that affects the overall product. Videogames are a mesh between several ways to express something, a mesh of different media. Sound, video, animations, graphics, writing, even controls.

That's why it's harder to get into an old game, because it has several things that will eventually get old and aged and they all do it at a varied level (example, graphics could be quite cool even by today standards but animations could be quite bad).

There's also the whole silicon valley deal which affects animation and 3d models. That explains why it's easier to get into old 2D games.
