What's more important to you, System Warriors? Graphics or gameplay? For me, it's gameplay. It's nice tohave a good artisticdirectionand have good frame rates, but we really shouldn't obsess about the graphics of a game. I've seen some videos ofsome games that look reallyfun to play (example: TheSecret World), but when I looked at the comments, all I sawwas......

While gameplay is always the core of a good game, graphics give immersion which directly links to the overall experience and in many cases the gameplay.

They go hand in hand.

Of course, having both is what we all want, but if I was given a choice, I would choose gameplay in a heartbeat.

Yes, but I hate it when people will go insane when the game doesn't have Crysis-level graphics.

I'd choose gameplay. But obviously I'd be lying if I said graphics didn't draw me in. They are the visual representation that allow you to make a first impression of a game with, after all.

Well it would be nice. No one can say they wouldn't like every game to have top notch graphics on a technical level.

If graphics don't matter then go back and play your NES and Snes for the rest of your life.

I like to have both graphics and gameplay in my games today. However you are right when you say graphics do not matter in the long run.

The departments of a game development studio aren't fighting for your attention. They're all part of a team What matters most is that everything comes together to make a good game.

Enslaved proved that presentation and visuals could offset generic or mediocre gameplay.

You're right, that feels like SW now. It's kind of like our own special version of Godwin's Law: the longer a thread mentioning graphics goes on, the more likely it is for a modded Crysis pic to show up :P.

Yea graphics don't matter at all.

That's why all games should be on an atari 2600 and we should stop upgrading our hardware.
