we all agree on that :) graphics are like 20 years ago. i first though, even my first aoe (age of empires) looked much better. lol
i believe there will be a moment that plarium will realise that its not the solution, hope it not too late for the many that gave up game after being pushed to the beta by force and not being able to play properly. :)
As they say in Spanish "errar es de humanos, reconocer los errores, de sabios". (to makes mistakes is a humans thing, to recognise our error is of wise men)
I think it depends of a graphic card. On my old laptop there is outdated nVidia GeForce 710M and OpenGL beta version looks blurry indeed and colors look dull.
Meanwhile on my new laptop with NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 - beta version looks sharp and good.
Conclusion, Plarium expects people to buy new hardware.
