He has earned an even more difficult to achieve "honor": the inability to post on these forums.

in my honest opinion , the graphics of Lugaru 1 are actually way better than the minimum that i can tolerate in games , i say that a blowing-off graphics game with a boring gameplay is a dead game , but not vice-versa , take for exemple : Runescape , of course the GFX/SFX/BGM are gross , but still that millions of players like it , why ? The gameplay. (and a bit of online and no-dl required too indeed)

Gameplay all the way. If Lugaru's graphics consisted of nothing but stick figures and pictures of David's grandparents, I'd still love it. Of course, the graphics are also gorgeous. But they're really just a bonus.

I can't belive you're comparing it to Runescape;

1.It's a kids game.
2.It's an RPG. The same rules don't apply.
3.It's a friggin' kids game!

It's free, and if you are easily amused and like grinding endlessly then it's also fun.

It's a kids game? Uhh, no. Many older people play it. It sucks, though. Anyway, the gameplay sucks in it.

well of course it's a kid game , but by gameplay i meant all kind of games , yes it's an RPG , but still that's part of the gameplay , whatever the style is , if the gameplay sucks then the whole game sucks , i just said runescape as an extremist example , even if the global game sucks ...

My kid brother plays runscape and I know for a fact that its not a kids game if you think about the other fact that most people on it are over 20 years old.

Exactly.

And, ablationer, I don't think that Runescape even has any gameplay.

And didn't I see that avatar on someone else?

It's funny, cuz they keep talking to you even after their brains explode.

And technically, that's not a bug, and technically, bugs can't exist since they're actually PROGRAMMED to happen! :P
