I hate ppl who think graphics = better game when it's usually the opposite. Who's with me on this one?

*silence* Graphics enhances the believe-ability of the game, it increases how realistic the game is, allowing you to be immersed into the world even more.

I still my share of retro games, but graphics really help make a game 10x better this generation of games. Who would play CoD4 when the graphics were stickmen.:(

Same here, example: crysis, if it didnt have graphics i can already tell the scores will be far lower.

Of course I can still play older games. I still play games over 7 years old, but graphics do increase the quality of your gaming experience.

Some of them however got so freaking terrible gameplay that dont feel reallistic and kill the immersive part, also the better graphics they manage to make, the more untalented the level design becames, in the past they had to make well designed maps but know its all high detailed corridors or high detailed outdoors with poor landscape design.

Yes it is about a delicate balance of all the things that make up a game. Graphics, sound, story etc.

Some games that try so hard to have good graphics to get immersion just fail like Far Cry 2 because of its bad gameplay.

But yeah for RPGs the graphics don't matter whatsoever as long as the game and story is fulfilling

But it seems like most of PS3/360 fans ARE graphics wh0res. (Not sure if I can say it without censoring)

A game with just good graphics is fun for about 10 mins. A game with good depth, gameplay, depth and story can be fun for an indefinite amount of time.

Nethackanyone?

I don't care about graphics. as long as they don't look really faded or something. Like medal of honor heroes 2 for the wii. or CoD: big red one
