I have seen enough topics about "GT5 is better than Forza2 becouse it looks better" crap

and sony fanboys go like "Killzone 2 will be great, just look at it"

and Xbox fanboys are like "but teh suit lookes awesome" ( you know what game i mean)

and PC fanboys are like "teh crysis pwns all consoles"

so, does ANYBODY care about Gameplay on SW ?

I do, hek I still play Settlers 2 and BF1942

same here I still play my NES (which I'm putting my Big Daddy Figurine), so I do think Gameplay over Graphics but graphics are still important just not as importtant as the gameplay.

The reason this happens is because comparing graphics is the only concrete way of comparing games that havent come out.

But comparing gameplay is harder and more subjective especially when you havent played the game.

You see, its easier to clame "ownage" when a game clearly looks better than another one but you can't really say it plays better because you havent experienced it.

sorry for being so redundant

Right now i'm playing Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda(NES), Legend of Zelda TP, Paper Mario(n64), Pokemon Diamond(DS), and Super Smash Bros(GC). None of which are great, graphically, (excpet TP which is beautiful at times) and they all play well. Pkm is a bit stale, but enjoyabgle. SSBM is just as good as it was in 02. SMB and LoZ are timeless. PAper mario is great, while a little dissapointing after playing PM:TTYD before PM1, but still a great story and adventure.

I'm also playing SimCity 4. This game is alright, but a bit... limiting in what you can do. I had a game for Windows 98 in 1999 that was basically the same... Also, i still play some flash games on teh computer. Some are just so damn addicting. Also once in a while i'll build a house in Sims 2. I'm into architecture and city planning so those games are usually my "cup of tea"

Gameplay > Graphics,

but in some cases graphics enhance the game play so why not have the best you can have. But still. Mariokart DS > Mario Kart DD in gameplay but mariokart DD > MKDS in graphics. MKDS is by far the better game still.

graphics bring you in, gameplay doesn't let go.

And don't listen to fanboys,we all know all the consoles are flawed one way or another.

and an other problem with the fact that people only want the best graphics , is that small company's dont have change

you would know what I mean if you knew how expensive the Unreal engine is, and how many time/money ik takes to make models with better lightning etz

Yes, I just played my N64 4 player last night, we played Perfect Dark, and Mario Kart 64, and those games are still better than about 95% of the crap that comes out now days, I haven't had that much fun with video games in a long time.

If graphics and sheer power are the most important elements in video games like some people seem to think, by that logic it means all other games automatically suck once a new generation comes along. Pardon my language, but that's just bull----. If games were bad because they don't have graphics like the next-generation consoles, then that means all the c lassics from years and years ago will be bad because they don't have next-generation graphics.

Could care if the game looked like dirt if its gameplay was 100% Perfection. I only care about gameplay I don't give a damn how good a game looks. Physics, A.I, and Frame Rate fine but what a game actually looks like. I don't care as long as I'm not experiencing motion sickness.

I prefer both. For instance, I am playing MGS, and the graphics, compared to my PS3 games, aren't even comparable, however, I am playing to figure out the story line. It's fun. Sometimes its silly, and I kinda de-sync with the game, and look at it and go "wow.. what the hell?", but I keep playing, knowing that 2's graphics will be better, and 3's will be even better.

But theres a difference between c l a s s i c games and just old games. the C l a s s i c ones are the ones that you can play any time, and they'll usually still be good. But being old doesn't make a game C l a --etc--. there are some crappy old games. But yeah. I prefer both, gameplay, and graphics. And I think graphics really do add an element to the game. Its like reading a book. if the words are all miss spelled and jumbled, it would be hard to take it seriously, but when everything is spelled correctly, it makes it much more believable.

I can see the similarity, because when you're playing a game, and the graphics seem out of place, it takes you out of the zone. much like seeing a typo in a book, or losing your place.

Anyway, yeah. I like both.

I agree with you, but I might add Virtual Boy to that list since it supposedly hurts your eyes.

I just got Half-Life and Deus Ex, for that matter. The graphics look fine to me, but some people might not like them.

Only to a certain degree. Graphics reached the point with the PS2 were they couldn't affect gameplay any more.

This isn't about PS3 man. This is about games in general. When PS4 comes out PS3 games will look bad but will they still be good? Absolutely.

Well since you can't take a screenshot that actually captures the gameplay of a game, and most people take it for granted that those games listed will have decent gameplay, I guess we have to argue about the graphics instead.

It does get annoying with arguments like Forza 2 vs. GT5, where Forza 2 is already out and has already proven it has great gameplay and features, while all we have to go on with GT5 right now are some short videos.

I think graphics are good for the "wow" factor to suck you in but if the game sucks after 20 minutes it's a watse of time and money. I still play AOE2 frequently.

Gameplay is more important than graphics in my book.
I am perfectly fine playing games like DOOM and the original Command and Conquer, simply because they fun and enjoyable to play.
If it looks great but plays like crap, why would I want to play it?
Sure, having both is excellent, but I look for gameplay first.

gameplay deffinately. The only reason some people might play some ps1 game and hate it, its because the GAMEPLAY feels outdated, not the graphics.

TC makes perfect sense! Game developers will spend millions in graphics and come up with a mediocre gameplay because they spend all their resources in making the game look great!

A game that has great graphics is most likely have a lot invested on it, meaning devs are quite capable.

Coz we post pictures here i think impressions are only on graphics.

But when its released the truth comes out on gameplay.

Graphics can enhance gameplay. But gameplay is the most important other wise we'd just look at pictures.
