Picture looks like the rest of the VG screenshots. Plastic and shiny. It kinda reminds me of Toy story.

I'd rather have plastic an shiny than...

oh, and some VG shots of Tursh area. Running resolution is 1600x900, but I made them smaller to fit most screens.

Here are a couple high quality taken on my ATI 9800pro cropped and resampled.

Those shots are actually an excellent argument FOR AA. The game looks SO much better when it's smoothed out, even if it's just from resampling/sizing pics. Get on that shit!

Kinda box will I need to run it on medium type settings. Looking at this right now. Will be a Vista build and plan on upgrading video card to DX10 in a few months so want something decent for now.

Can maybe swing couple hundred more bucks but will this run the game decently?

SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model SH-S182D
POWMAX CP0327PL-4 Window Black/Silver SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply
Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Driver
MSI K9A Platinum Socket AM2 ATI CrossFire Radeon Xpress 3200 ATX AMD Motherboard
JetWay X19PR-ED-512M Radeon X1950PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
DIAMOND XtremeSound XS71 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 4-4-4-12 timing
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADA5200CSBOX

Cost is around 1k, anything else I might need or should get in place, Thanks ahead of time!

I'd buy a case that didn't come with a 400w power supply and pay a little more for a 700w or something with that hardware. Other than that looks pretty good for 1k.

Maybe that's why I liked the atmospheric blur option so much. It basically started hazing out everything that wasn't ten feet in front of you, and I thought it made the game 'feel' much better to look at. I agree that those shots look incredibly better than what is displayed in game due to the fact you don't see any jagged edges and how seamless it all looks, and if that is really what AA can pull off than it should be the top priority after performance boosts.

First of all, I know that VG has technically superior graphics. Hands down. But the look of everything being fake is off putting for me. I prefer the fantastical cartoonish art style of WoW in addition.

All this shit has been said 1000x before. No one on either side gives a fuck.

You win!

OMG! I'm so glad that you needed to interject your completely useless opinion on something clearly no one cares anything about!

ROCK ON!

I don't like rock music.

Ellsworth it really has been said 1000x before. Go read other VG threads you will see the _exact_ same quote as you just used.

Nobody really gives a fuck.

I could say the exact oppositte of what you just said -- after playing VG I now can't stand WoW's look and you know what -- nobody gives a fuck about my opinion of WoW art either.
