Graphical aspect preference ROF vs COD and other stuff

[WTE_Galway]

Silly quiz.

Despite the question, people will actually vote based on what sim they prefer overall, not which sim has better graphics.

It's also silly because "better graphics" is entirely subjective. For me, a smooth frame rate is important for immersion in flightsims, so RoF wins there. Also, to me, it looks more real. You can flame as much as you want, but it won't change my personal opinion. It's not based on logic, or Dx10, or rivet-counting, or an "agenda", it's just what I feel.

People have posted screenshots to illustrate how CloD is better than RoF and to me they show the opposite. My point here is not to try to argue with those people, but to show that we can both be right because, when it comes to graphics in videogames, there is no right or wrong, just subjective opinion.

Whether "better graphics" is entirely subjective or not, isn't it silly indeed to think that opinion polls are to collect opinions which are objective?

How can you honestly sit there and say "graphics are subjective", "there is no right or wrong", "both can be right" and in the same sentence put " ~ to illustrate how CLoD is better then RoF and to me they show the opposite"?

SO... we're going to get another il2, are we?
How can you honestly sell people that when, your higher up says different?

English not your first language? I wrote "to me they show the opposite" - that is a subjective opinion. The key is the "to me" bit.

My point being that there is no way to make objective a personal opinion on which graphics are best. It doesn't matter how many times I'm told otherwise, or how many other people disagree with me, I'll like what I like.

Likewise, I don't expect to be able to tell anyone else what's best when it comes to game graphics ( or music, or art or literature). I can say what it is I like, and try to explain that, but I can't tell someone else that my view is the "best".

Oh, and "Try again"
