how about crysis 2 for a start? or bulletstorm? both good games with most realistic visuals, eh no.

>Realistic Graphics
>Bulletstorm

Why not

The original Crysis is widely known to look better than it's sequal and Bulletstorm is a laughable choice for "realistic visuals".

Exactly. Hell even BC2 is more realistic graphically than bulletstorm.

Agreed. For 2d, Trine is the best I have seen.

ThomasTheTankEngine · 23 Apr 2011 at 14:28

Where the hell is ARMA 2?

PGdude · 23 Apr 2011 at 14:51

Shogun 2?

I'm running that on Ultra with a 5770 and Q6600.

Perhaps if they patch in some Anti-Aliasing on that some time soon then maybe it will be a bit more intensive to run. :mad:

Trine isn't 2D is it :confused:

It's 3D from a fixed perspective, the graphics are still 3D.

I detect a large amount of trolling in that article. That.. or uneducated writers.

Looks like the guy was paid to mention those games, because there's no other reason why he should have.

Metro and Crysis 2 yes, though that looks about it to me.

Was that the thing the random dragons won? Or was that longer ago... well, anyway, that got sabotaged by 4chan with auto-vote scripts, so not really their fault.
