TORONTO — Local World of Warcraft player and MMORPG enthusiast Jonah Harper, who recently purchased and played Fallout 4 for the first time thanks to a 90% off Steam deal, has been absolutely blown away by the graphical quality of the 2015 sequel.

“I’ve never played a game in my life with graphics this good,” Harper shared in a Reddit post. “I’ve been playing games since 2004, and I didn’t know they could look like this. So beautiful and life-like. Obviously, I’ve seen some advancements in graphical quality in the twenty-two years that I’ve been gaming but this is on a whole other level. When I went from WoW to Final Fantasy 14, I thought that was the biggest graphical advancement that was possible but boy was I wrong. Bethesda must be technical wizards.”

Harper’s friends claim they’ve been trying to tell him for years about the advancements in gaming, but he wouldn’t listen.

“We know he loves his MMOs, that’s great and we respect it, but we’ve always tried to get him to branch out and see what else gaming has to offer,” stated his friend Noah Jackson. “I still remember back in 2009 trying to show him Uncharted 2 and how great it looked but Azeroth is all he had eyes for. Even now we’re trying to tell him that Fallout doesn’t even look that good for a 2015 game and he refuses to listen. World of Warcraft has a pretty basic graphics engine but it’s all he really knows, so to him any game looking better is a miracle.”

Video game psychologist William Lictor says that this is a common occurrence with gamers who branch out of their singular taste profile.

“What Mr. Harper is experiencing is nothing new. I see this kind of thing all the time in patients that only ever play one type of game. I often have patients who only play Madden or Call of Duty and as soon as they experience a game outside of their very singular habit, it’s as if a whole new world has opened to them. They can’t believe that anything could be as good because all they’ve experienced is a very solitary stagnant thing that doesn’t advance like the rest of the industry. Seeing something new is transformative when the only gaming advancement you know is WoW updates or a new CoD or Madden that is marginally different than the last.”

At press time, Harper had gone back to playing World of Warcraft after meeting Preston Garvey.
