Do you pay much attention to graphics?

Do you pay much attention to graphics?

To a degree, yes. But, I find myself paying more attention to the graphics of say, Bioshock than Crysis.

apparently not since I'm currently playing AVP and have no problem with the graphics that were bashed by all the reviews for being horrible. Of course I like really good graphics, but I won't let it ruin a game for me if they're not really high quality.

There are good games out there that also have good graphics, so when developers fail to deliver in the graphics department, I'm just not happy.

Not really. I'll notice if they're good, but it's not like it matters and seldom ever get blown away.

They can be a bonus and make you feel more immersed in the game however I don't really care too much about graphics. If the game is good I'll enjoy it good graphics or not.

I think they help mask flaws or lack of creativity in a game when they're well done, but I still really enjoy a well-done game if the graphics aren't amazing.

I was just wondering do you pay much attention to graphics? Is good graphics obligatory for ar good game?
For me good graphics is good but i don't pay much attention to graphics.

I think they matter when they take away from the gameplay experience, for me a lot of it comes down to the artstyle the game uses. If the graphics match what the game sets out to do then they are doing their job.xxmatt125xx

gameplay and stoyline are the necessary factors for a gamethat i consider . good graphics just adds to the strenght of the game.

Graphics (artistic style mainly) are an absolute must-have for me, I'm a real snob like that.
But, so is gameplay... I think it's pretty safe to say that I won't play a beautiful game that's no good, or a good game that's ugly (puzzle games are the exception).
There are more than enough games that fit my standards, so it's really no problem.

I don't need good graphics to enjoy a game, they are a bonus that I can appreciate though.soulitane

Not really, Good graphics are what I notice the first 15 mins of playing a game, after that 15 min ajustment period, nomatter how good or bad the graphics are, I do not see, unless I force myself to.

I can play and enjoy a game from the first half of the 90 with no problem, and if you asked me how I could play it, because the graphics were not the standard, I would likely look at you with a dumb expression on my face, because honestly, I failed to realise it was not up to par.

I think alot of people are like me, with the 15 min ajustment period, the game tells the story with what it got, even if it is sprites or early poly. I quite honestly can not see the old FF games, LoZ (the very first one), or Baldurs gate has bad graphics, just a small ajustment period.

The strange thing, is that those old games, convey and portrait thier worlds JUST as good (if not better) then most modern games does, despite thier advantage of graphics.
