than a great game with bad graphics. Isn't gameplay described as how fun a game is? Well I could never find an ugly game fun. And I'm pretty tired of hearing Gameplay > Graphics. Thats so far from the truth. It's Gameplay = Graphics. If you don't have both it's impossible to be classified as a great game. And the Wii sucks. No all consoles suck. 360 doesn't work, and the PS3 is nothing more than a cheap blu ray player.

And I won't even get into games, everyone already knows the best games are on PC. Been like that since day one.

At least I think so.

Well if you feel that graphics is gameplay and graphics, than of course graphics will be important. But traditionally gameplay is gameplay and graphics are graphics.

Well, I guess that's your opinion.
I personally look for gameplay in my games. Sure, if it looks pretty it helps of course, but I play a game to enjoy it, and not to look at the pretty visuals.
DOOM, Half-Life, Quake, Command & Conquer. All perfectly playable and enjoyable in my eyes, and better than some of the games developers are pumping out today.

Theres also "Classic graphics" where no matter how bad the graphics look, it still looks good. Games like Deus Ex and System Shock 2 look very dated by todays standards but the graphics still hold up. Indeed, these games had superb gameplay and Deus Ex had the "Next generation" storyline.

Graphics don't make everything but they hold about 75% of it for me...

I'd rather have great gameplay with great graphics personally.

But in a manner of speaking, horrendous graphics detract from games. See Alien Syndrome for instance.

You don't understand. When I say Graphics=Gameplay I mean you need equal parts of both to have a great game.

I honestly can't agree that graphics=gameplay. Given the choice between great gameplay/bad graphics and great graphics/bad gameplay, I would choose the former every single time.

Go play .kkreiger right now for the PC. You don't need a high end rig, but it has graet graphics. Come back and say that with a straight face. Go on.

Never said I would enjoy the game, just that I would rather play it.

Choosing a game as glitchy as Two Worlds over aclassic such asSuper Mario World would mean I'd have to really question your tastes.

I agree to some extent. If a game has a few missing gameplay elements with horrid graphics, I don't buy it. If it looks great and plays alright, i might buy it. Then again i only buy games that look great and play just as well. Oh and this is a bad attempt at bashing the Wii because it doesn't have that bad of graphics. ;)

I don't care to bash the wii. Does that all by its self. The wii is more a toy than a console.

River city ransom was an ugly looking fighter for even back in the day but it was still a great game. WoW has worse graphics than EQ2 and most other current mmorpgs yet it's not ugly and is still the best of them.

I guess a video game is a lot like a woman.

Which would you rather have, an absolutely drop dead gorgeous woman who'sa dumbass and kind of a **** or a plain woman who's nice and funny and all that good stuff? A lot of people would choose the gorgeous woman right off, but they would regret it later I think

edit: ... and there are guys who think a beautiful woman is enough, and power to them. Go with what you like

Well, your opinion is valid but I don't agree at all. If the gameplay isn't fun then how are good graphics going to help make it better? I mean, why not stop playing games all together and just watch movies, those are the most realistic graphics you'll be seeing. -sigh- You're missing out on a lot of good games like Metroid Prime 3.It's very good and it does has pretty good graphics with a great art style, but more importantly it PLAYS and CONTROLS beautifully.

You're one of those graphics wh**e gamers aren't you? It's a sad day for gaming when more and more people have your attitude. You're spitting at so many artist and developers faces right now who spend months, even years making the game engine, modeling everything, and applying textures, etc...You're basicly telling them you're too good to play their games because the graphics aren't up to your standards.

Edit for freaking glitchspot. Seriously, this is annoying

You might as well stop playing games now then, as the games that are out currently look like crap relative to the ones which will be out ten years from now.
