And why are you sorry?

Why would robots need gynecologists? For their vaginas. Uhm, why would robots need vaginas...?

How Important Are Graphics in Video Games?
Alyxx Thorne replied to Raicuparta's topic in Gaming in general
I play Duke Nukem 1 even if my computer can easily handle Crysis on a high setting. Doesn't mean I am wasting my computer on it. That's how I see it. As long as a game is good, for me graphics just aren't that important. -
That's strange, because I am rather sure we are using the same Windows. There should be some buttons on the bottom of the window where you can customize each part of your theme.

Do tell. I am pretty clueless about customizing this thing. Right click on your desktop. Choose "Customize". Then click on "Window Colour" and "Show colour mixer". Here, turn the "Brightness" dial down to zero and watch Windows 7 transform into sexy darkness. You can also turn it transparent, that helps a lot. Here's a screenshot on how to do it (excuse the Norwegian text).

I played Tomb Raider II a lot as well.

You can easily customize the look of Windows 7. I've turned it darker and sexier. =P

Too bad they had to ruin it by mixing in Jay-Z... Linkin Park - Papercut Yeah I know. Whatever, Meteora and Minutes to Midnight are my best favourite albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora are my favourites. Minutes to Midnight didn't have all the elements I liked about them so I kinda passed on that and lost interest in the band. Il Caesar - La Musica Electronica 2001

Yay, Spaz was my favourite one. Hangover rabbit who eats little birds! And his special attack, I think he is a ninja too Yeah. It was always fun playing co-op because both Jazz and Spaz had different special attacks.

I think Tetris is a shining example. Essentially you don't need more than some coloured squares for it to work. I suppose that's why it's been ported to virtually every possible console there is. -

I completely agree with you there. I think in the case of first person shooter games, graphics are incredibly important because the whole point of a first person shooter is to simulate a reality for the player. -
I've played tons of Jack Jackrabbit 2, especially with my brother. He'd always be Spaz.

I actually managed to run Steam in Ubuntu for the short while I was using it. But it was glitchy to say the least.

I agree, but it depends entirely on the game. The games you talk about there are all very reliant on graphics to create immersion. Other games, like Tetris, rely purely on gameplay almost. And games like The Longest Journey might not be pretty to look at but it has a very good and solid story. -

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit as well. Bought it on finance since it cost quite a bit. I started out using Windows 98SE, then Windows 2000 before I moved on to Windows XP. I've never used Vista. Though I used DOS and Windows 3.1 when I was about 3-4 years old.

I live in hurricane country. It's not usually as bad as tornados and earthquakes, unless you're stupid and live in a city that is technically under sea level. Yeah, I'm talking about you, New Orleans. I don't really worry about much anyway, though. Natures wrath is pretty inescapable, I've just learned to accept that. All we can do is just deal with the effects of it.

To me they aren't important at all. As long as I can see what's going on I don't really care. I don't play games for the sake of graphics for the most part. -
What is most important for you in a game?
Alyxx Thorne replied to Kirkreng's topic in Gaming in general
Depends on the game for me. If it has a good storyline then I don't really need good graphics to be drawn into it. But gameplay is also very important. Regarding graphics, as long as they don't look horrible, I'll be okay. Doesn't matter if it's an old EGA DOS game or the latest Crysis game. -
