ARMA 3 Beta

He is a fin man. He drinks so much alcohol that he sees everything blurry. Changing the settings and hardware isnt gonna do much. Only AA meetings can help enhance his game graphics now.

Take a screenshot of some damn beautiful scenes in Arma 3 then!

*Images are just as doctored as every other shooter's images*

I think the game looks fantastic for what it is.

actual in-game images I mean, not PR ones

lol all of those are in-game, the only one that looks like a PR screenshot is the last one.

1st = legit (you can notice LODs on distant bushes) and looks pretty good
2nd = viewer has eye cancer
3rd = shopped

looks better than battlefield grey and brown with blue tint

Derp. So we know not to trust your judgement anymore...

Yes, looks alright. Has a lot of not-so-impressive things too, though, like the bushes. And I don't like the distant terrain LOD too much. That's a screenshot taken from a gaming site though, so don't know what settings they're running - the graphics in that screenshot aren't anything to write home about either, in all honesty. Not that there's much going on in it, other than a dude sitting and some plain hills.

So what games are cutting edge enough for you to think are NEXT GENERATION extreme graphics?

The second screenshot looks like it was taken in game from the camera script, first screenshot is clearly not doctored or touched up.  Not sure why you're so stingy but your judgement is clearly strewn about, and I think we can already agree that it's not to be trusted either.

Who was talking about next generation extreme graphics, aside from you just now? How about Crysis, that's a game that looks great and runs better and was released in 2007. Battlefield 3 also seems to look a lot better, haven't played it though. Or FC 3. OFP:DR seems to handle the distant terrain a lot better as well. Or Skyrim. Hard to think of an AAA game released lately that doesn't look better than ArmA 3, but most of them aren't open world so that's just some examples.

The second screenshot is an ArmA 3 promo picture........

How is my judgement "clearly strewn about", again?

[Artyem]

Honestly man, if you don't like the game you don't like it, in your mind you think that the blue tint mess that is BF3 looks better and in mind I think ARMA 3 is much better.  I thought the graphics in FC3 were very average, same with Dragon Rising.  Crysis is an exception, but you're drawing opinions on a game based entirely on the graphics so I probably should have just drawn the line from the start.

Your judgement is strewn about because you're basing your entire opinion of a game solely on the looks, rather than the gameplay.

First, Crysis wasn't based entirely on the graphics. It had good gameplay, much better than yon average shooter these days. FC3 does have average graphics, as does DR, no argument there.

Now, the million dollar question...

Where did I say I didn't like ArmA 3 or that it's a bad game?

[Artyem]

I'm playing on highest settings (still looks like crap).

How is saying it looks like crap, which it does, a temper tantrum? It looks nowhere near as good as other modern games, and it certainly doesn't look good enough to justify the FPS. And way to make ASSumptions about things you don't know anything about.

You know, every time you said the graphics were shit.  You never said other wise, the apparent position you're in based solely on your posts is that you think ARMA 3 is a bad game and you haven't given any real reasons beyond 'shitty as fuck FPS'.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting, regardless, you're entitled to your opinions and the whole point of this thread was to get more people to play the beta before the 25th, but look!  It's out now and now I guess we're talking the graphical quality of Crysis.

Wait, wait, wait... let me get this right...

So you're saying... I'm basing my opinions on the game.. based entirely on the graphics.. and when asked to show where I say the game is bad you quote me saying the graphics are bad? Now who's saying graphics = quality of game?

Well to be fair, Crysis was focused solely on graphics, stating anything else is blatantly false, it was far from ground-breaking gameplay. And when it was first released it ran terribly, it's had 6 years to be optimized to run better.

Meh, I'd have to disagree with BF3 looking better, played that on max, and I actually have a RL friend who plays the quite extensively, even she agreed Arma 3 had slightly superior graphics. And Skyrim....I hope you're joking, that game looks terrible without mods.
