I dunno, my definition of good graphics ends with well drawn and fast. Anything above that is just a new way of selling hardware, potentially spoiling the speed and/or the visual in the proccess.

We had high enough proccessing capabilities and technology to allow 3D rendering with good textures and high resolution several years back. Since then "Technology marches forward" constatnly forcing those who lag behind to endure lower quality and speed than one their hardware could allow several years ago.

That's progress the way our society understands it...

When we get new technology that allows us to take it easy we instead take our demands to new height and keep slaveing away as we always did to sate this evergrowing hunger.

However, the bigger the hunger the less satisfaction the same things bring...

And one'd think that everspreading depression and gradual shortening of livetime would teach us to slow down and actually try to enjoy the fruit of our labor, but no, we always need "more" and "better" to the point where labor begins to outweight it's fruit.

Ahem, don't mind me...
