there just graphic wh0res! Thats like them saying games this gen > Snes + Ps2 era.
Unfortunately in SW seems like Graphics are the main aspect which people have interest in, so that they claim some sort of ownage specially when talking about exclusives on their beloved system(s)... (i admit am one of those sometimes) :)
It's hard to argue gameplay. If I were to say, "MGS 4 is much more fun than Fable 2.", that wouldn't be worth an awful lot, because they are two entirely diffrent games, they can't even compare. So instead I could say, "MGS 4 has better graphics than Fable 2." (I don't actually belive that though. Still, Fable 2 runs like crap, does it have an install or something?). This is System Wars (Not intended), so we need something we can actually argue about. Saying this game is more fun than that one is like saying salmon tastes better than pork (Which it clearly does!).
i dont judge a game purely on graphics, i still play my old PS1 games cause they are great, even if visually they arent so good anymore (they were back in the day though
It's just something to own people with really. What are the chances a fanboy is going to play another console's exclusive just to check out the game play?
What the hell is the point of this topic? Is it for you and your elitist friends to pretend they're better than everyone else because they "look beyond graphics." Jesus Christ. That's like asking if anyone looks for personality in a girl, or is it just looks? It's a ****ing retarded question.
I can't play two consoles currently because the graphics are so dated that they affect the Gameplay. The 2600 which you can't even tell what anything is and the PS1 I can play some PS1 games but the ones that were in full 3D I can't play just because I think for 3D it needs to be N64 quality or Higher, for 2D it needs to be anything that was made after the 2600.
I like good graphics but a game has to be fun first. I have gears of war 2 and enjoy playing it but I stopped playing it when I got Persona 4 last week. I just started playing the game Saturday and already I've logged 40 hours on that game. The only reason I haven't bought a PS3 yet is because I'm still trying to find a 60gig model that has real bc. I'm probably the only person on system wars that has a wii and doesn't regret buying it because I enjoy the games I have for it. I always have someting to play weather it on my PS2, wii, or 360.

This is a Forum where people come to argue about what is coming in the future. People spend more time talking about games that arent out and they don't own then they probably do actually playing the games they own. So you see the problem with talking about the gameplay of say, GOW 3, FFXIII, Mad World, Halo Wars is the fact that nobody actually has hands on experience with these games. But of course everyone has accesss to screenshots and fanboys use anything against other systems so you have people talking about the only thing they currently know about these new games which is the graphics. In the end most people would never really put up with a horrible game just because it looks good but its all fanboys can talk about with their limited resources.
IMO, Gameplay>Graphics. Not to say graphics don't matter, but I would rather I game that plays well and has a great story than a game that looks pretty and has no substance
Competent technical graphics are extremely important. Very few people look at graphics past rhe colors they see on the screen. If a game is choppy, glitchy, freezes, or just doesn't work due to graphical problems then it doesn't matter how great the game play is.
If we still had a hinge on graphics over gameplay, we wouldn't even have a ds, psp, ps2, or wii tab at the top of the page. Graphics actually help out gameplay as it gives the gameplay a certain flare; a reason to watch the game. Plus, I think some games that are real graphics heavy don't real all that good, there are certain things to graphics imo that make a game look good.
No. I take everything about a game into account. Prioritizing one element over the other is the completely wrong way of analyzing a game and its content.
I recently played some N64 and dreamcast games for the first time ever, and i really did enjoy them way too much,I don't mind graphics that much, but it hurts the eyes from ps1 generation sometimes because 3d was not so mature.
Although I own a 360(i keep playing originals) i poped in cod5 at a friend's house the other day, and i was amazed by the graphics!
i used to say there is no difference really between ps2 generation and this one, but now i take that back

Agrees with you & the others. You can have the most incredible graphics &/or extra goodies in a certain game, but the game will still come playing off as ****. A really good example would be Final Fantasy XII on PS2. Neither of those two equal to gameplay. Back in the Atari, NES & Sega Master system days, it wasn't all about graphics. It was all about gameplay.
