sound>graphics

I am just going to sumup my point with 2 questions...

You see the ugliest person in the world, how would you react?

You here the worst singer in the world, how would you react?

Me personally, I can play games with horrible graphics but i can barely stand horrible sound. If the voice acting is horrible or the music is just plain annoying I'll just turn off the system. Everyone I know reacts more towards horrible sounds rather tham horrible looks. Discuss.

That's a pretty terrible analogy.

Anyway, do you mean sound quality? Or music and voice acting? I'm assuming you don't mean quality. I kind of agree with you, most of the best games I've ever played have had amazing sound (FFVII, MGS spring to mind) but I think bad graphics...well, graphics not up to normal standards, can ruin a games atmosphere much more than bad sound.

Bad sound won't destroy a game, but good sound can make it extremely memorable.

*farts*

The sound quality of that one was excellent.

Graphics AND sound both play equally important roles for me. Good sound quality but poor graphics wouldn't be appealing. Same idea when sound quality is lacking. Both elements balance each other out.Vortexx

Visuals are obviously important, i dont think many people would deny it, but i think sometimes visuals importance is overstated and sounds is overlooked.

so true, its all that that makes fear still look amazing as well as some of the best sound effects to date. geow can't match fears effects and destructable environements

Meh ..I turn my sound off a lot of times.turgore

A game with no sound kills it for me

i usually got music goin on while I play games so for me gameplay >>> graphics > sound.

Design >>> Everything else that has to do with graphics, in my opinion.
