Is this undeniable proof that better graphics don't make a better game?

HL2 was miles better game tho'... ?

but yeah, graphics don't make the game. Audio design, good gameplay, and even good story can be waaay more essential for an enjoyable gaming experience. And when it comes to graphics, good art-design > technical marvel.

yes

"HL2 was miles better game tho'... ?" what a bunch of bullshit - ignore him.

They never have

...

GTA SA was pretty impressive for a PS2 game.
Car Reflections, No loading screens between islands, Some sick ass transparency blending modes that are almost impossible to recreate with pre 2014 PC hardware.

Can you post an actual screenshot from HL2 and not a mod?

Not that it matters anyways, HL2 is overrated cinematic trash that started the cinematic content tourism meme.

uh

What do you mean by graphics?

Aesthetics? Graphical fidelity?
The looks of a game are definitely important and contribute hugely to the overall feeling of a game, but you don't need a billion polygons per model.
