Graphics DO effect gameplay

I think graphics in games are extremely important. Just look at the forums on this board and how much emphasis are put on visuals. Good graphics and good games also do go hand in hand. Not very many games that have stunning visuals are bad games and that is the result of production values and how much videogames have become an art.

graphics are somewhat important, but i think framerate affects gameplay more than resolution.

Graphics can add to immersion, and immersion is a big part of gameplay so yes graphics do effect gameplay.

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="Mystic-G"] Megaman @ 1080p doesn't make it 32bit. Resolution scale doesn't change graphics, it just turns one small black pixel into 10 small black pixels, it in no way shape or form makes the graphics better hence why I say resolution =/= graphics. Your topic is a ploy to make graphics somehow linked to gameplay in-which again I say Megaman 10.Mystic-G

Give me proof that resolution scale makes graphics better. That's what I say to you sir.

People who say graphics don't matter are usually either casual gamers, or Wii owners or both, but they really do matter especially for examples like you listed here, in my opinion the PS3 and 360 are the only ones in the console race this gen.

Nintendo fans can spout sales quotes all they want, but truth is we all know the majority of Nintendo Wii's sold are bought by parents for kids from 5 to 13, or the few remaining Nintendo fans that like there 1st party titles.

Any way i didn't want to turn this into a Nintendo bash fest, because i still like Nintendo, i just wish they would've made a more powerful console this gen thats all. Most games today do run in full 720 and 1080 and the hardware truly utilized to make those graphics flawless are usually the AAA titles that stand out from the others.

Spot on and I fully agree with you. If only most people would see the truth.

Graphics do matter as much as gameplay. For those who have the luxury of high end graphics, enjoy it and immerse yourself!
For those who dont, all you can do is envy.
