Do too many games focus on Graphics?

they just wrote bad code on purpose so you buy new gpu that can handle it...where are those good old times when gta sa was best in the world

yes

man, I remember when you'd look into the gamer mags to see which system had better graphics for a game. (since there would be a snes and genesis version of the same game.)

yes

Ask EA.

Yes

Sometimes.

Also I would wager at any moment Valve will release the next version of Source, pretty sure thats why HL3 has been held off so long now...

Sadly, yes. Which also screws up poor gamers who can't get a decent GPU.

On the bright side tho, we can play most of the "old" games that are awesome.

Sadly, yes

If they do focus on graphics, God damn, are they horridly behind, especially console ports. Its hard to find stuff that really use the full potential of a high end PC. Crysis focused on graphics well, least it blew everything out of the water.

Somewhat.

Some games like witcher 2 are both taxing and have great gameplay which are exceptions.

SOURCE IS THE MOST EPIC AND BADASS ENGINE IN THE WORLD !

what i pity that they keep realeasing only cs games with that engine .. they can do much more then that !
