Enlightenment? Okays: I fully support making HUGE claims. I do it all the time and can relate to where they come from. But when you even infer someone to be pompous trend chasers, we have a problem. You're not only attacking the millions of hardcore gamers who could give a dirt on graphics, but you insult casual gamers who game for fun and not for graphics. Which includes my family. And let me tell you, they're not "enlightened" or any other spew you felt the need to label them in. That opinion of yours was completely wrong and pretty much uncalled for. When people say gameplay over graphics, they're not trying to look down on those that have it the other way around, they just don't care enough about graphics to keep them from enjoying what could be a great game. i.e. Persona 4I could care less if you have a problem lol. Your goofy outrage does not impress ;).besides Im not attacking every one who do not care about graphics im pointing out that this gen has seen a rise in that statment often from gamers makeing excusses. Sure i freely admit that there are some people who genuenly dont care about graphics. mostly i think are the casuals who really are not what i would call *GAMERS*. What i find funny is a lot of these statements are comeing from people who praised some games on some systems last gen for being so great looking but now all of a sudden think looks no longer matter. they "spew" this nonsense as if it justifise the lack of visuals on some games. whats the point in stateing that graphics dont matter? can you really say that you would rather have an ugly game than a pretty one? would you want and ugly car rather than a good looking car?[QUOTE="Symphonycometh"][QUOTE="Wild_Card"]iv been a gamer sense the nes and i can tell you that graphics has always been important to many gamers and a hot topic for discussion. its only this gen that people have fallen in to some kind of fad with claiming graphics are not important or game play over graphics like they think that makes them some how enlightened, when in fact it just makes them sound like pompous trend chasers. before this gen the concept that graphics and game play should be weighed against each other was hardly ever brought up. If so in so does not care about how there games look then thats fine, but for me, seeing as i spend 100% of my game time LOOKING at the game and the fact that the vast majority of every part of game play is done in correlation to the graphics "you cant jump from one ledge to another if you cant see it ect" then i want what i see to look as good as it can. plus with better graphics capabilty you can have more items,objects and characters on screen, you can have larger levels ect that directly can effect game play.

Wait a minute so your saying that a hardcore gamer has to care about graphics? I would consider myself a fairly hardcore gamer as I play quiet a bit and the only time I would praise a games graphics is if the gameplay holds up well. Uncharted 2 is a prime example. Graphics are phenomanal, but the gameplay is so smooth and perfect that the graphics just seem to not matter as much.As for"spewing" nonsense, don't insult people with a valid opinion. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its nonsense.If the ugly game played better than the pretty one, hellyeah Iwould play the ugly one. Same goes for the car, if the ugly one runs better, of course I wold go with that. People also don't state that graphics don't matter because obviously they do being that they are video games. What is being stated is that gameplay means more and should be focused on more than the graphics.
As for the choice of ps2 graphics or ps3 graphics, why even ask that? I said in a post if the technology is there why not. The point of this topic was discussing those people that think graphics are the be all end all of video games. OoT also is no were near one of the best looking games at the time.
