No.Not importent.I still play fallout 2 and fallout 1.And I still prefer these two games to fallout 3.First of all, they were original.Its not something recooked.Originality is the most importent thing for me.Graphics are something, artistic for me.Ofcours new games should have good graphics to catch the time, but I think before having good graphics, a game must have a great story, a great gameplay and original ideas.Games are getting same and same like holywood movies.I cant remember how many times I saved the world, I played as an elf, or run away from creatures.Game companies need some fresh blood.
