If graphics don't matter, why is Blizzard spending so much damn time on trying to make Warcraft 3 look pretty?
id's games have NEVER ceased to amaze, and I disagree completely that they are not an innovative company. Wolfenstein 3D had excellent replay value? Yeah, because every level looked the exact same (which is fine for the time), so you could, in essence, play the exact same thing over and over and over without noticing you weren't getting anywhere... look what they have done since then. Played Half-Life? Played ANY other action game in the last four years? The majoritiy of them use variations of Quake engines... THAT is the trademark of a truly amazing company.
