No, they need to play the demo. I didn't buy Dom3 until I realized that I couldn't enjoy other games anymore. I was bewitched, ensorceled, and seduced.

Last I checked, no one wanted to hear anyone complain about the graphics. If your friends directly relate graphical quality to gaming enjoyment, then they may as well shovel out $30 at a time for whatever titles are falling off the best seller lists. And they can do that over, and over, and over again. Meanwhile, I'll still be playing Dom3.

Oh and PS- The graphical "style" perhaps isn't what is in vogue right now, but most of the sprites are actually rather high quality, and most of the maps (not random maps) are quite lovely. They just don't jump out at you in full 3D and yell BOOM HEADSHOT. :P

Actually, I must say I like the graphics a lot. Can't explain why but I fall for them. I always liked 2d (Abe's oddissey, besta frigging game eva) and Dom3 has a lot of quality sprites. Yeah random maps could be better, they could have used the "old style map" effect of some of the maps instead of those strange trees and mountains around on my paper

PS hey, I may be wrong but I didn't see you around these last days Jim. If I'm right welcome back ^^

i dont find the demo to be the best representation of the game and well its a nonstarter with the games price .

And graphics dont have alot to do with the enjoyment of the game for them. But those fancy graphics are a large part of why games with the spiffy graphics cost 50,60 dollars. You have to have a team of artists for quite some time to work on em.

The sprites arent bad.. But id hardly say the "style" isnt in vogue.. This "style" isnt going to suddenly become in style again.. 2d sprites arent going to make some kind of come back..

And i pretty much play exclusively on random maps and they look pretty meh..
