Mr.Shiu and Watch Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't care about graphics I mean yes it makes a game more emjoyable but I don't think good graphics are a must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Not really. I do agree with you games with excellent graphics does make the game more enjoyable to play but I think gameplay is equally important. I wouldn't make a issue of graphics really. If the game becomes too realistic...in my personal opinion it gets a bit boring =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Nah, not really. I care more about the Gameplay. Graphics are a plus, but not really important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Games don't need great graphics to be good. I don't think it's "equally" as important as gameplay. I value gameplay over everything. Like, if I rate games... It's like, 60% Gameplay, 25% story 15% graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Rei Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think it was more than 1 month old. Well, anyways: I care about graphics, when I have high expactations for them in games such as God of War and Gears of War. For games like Mario, I'm concerned more about if it's worth to be a Mario game, and graphics are a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Graphics are important, but not in a "more polygons! more polygons or it sucks!" kind of way. 1. Graphics need to be functional at the very least. If menu's are mess, you can't tell one characters from another etc a game is unplayable. 2. Good graphics have more to do with style than with specs. All the games from the nineties that used 3D just because they couldlook like crap now. It's games like Yoshi's Island that still look attractive, even after more than a decade. Games that have a timeless and easy to recognise style, those games have good graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't care about graphics. It's nice to have but it is nice to have. Bad graphics will not ruin the game for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intoner Two Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) my biggest concern is sound quality -lately games are too loud and such by default and I always have to adjust them lest I go deaf- graphics not so much except I really nit pick over text size -it is nearly impossible for me to read the subtitles/white text in my 360 games and it kinda really bugs me though it may be my TV's settings, I don't know-; story is also very important (and requires well thought out characters) and a challenge is welcome -considering I mainly played FFXI the past year I'm pretty accustomed to ridiculously hard challenges in later portions of a game and welcome it whole heartedly- so I think for me Sound>/=Challenge>/=Characters=Story>Graphics Edited January 4, 2009 by Shantotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It's more towards game play for me. I don't really care for graphics, but it makes the game better with great graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Graphics are cool. I like games with good graphics. But they're just a bonus. They're in no way a deciding factor in what I buy. If it has bad graphics then cool, if it has good graphics then awesome. Whatever. I'd prefer an extremely fun game that has bad graphics to a game that looks pretty but is boring.

Mufasa Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I do to a certain extent. But it wouldn't be a deciding factor on my opinion of the game. I mean, TOS is the best game ever, and their graphics were average at best. Graphics are nice, and will add to my opinion to a game, but if you really are looking for a game with outstanding graphics, just go see a movie.

Judge Judy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 What slayer said. I wanna play video games, not movies/eye candy. Agreed. Many games have good graphics but the storyline just sucks and is too generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 To say the least, graphics are part of what gives the game its atmosphere, in conjunction with the plot. The detail of graphics isn't what matters, as much as the style that the graphics are presented in. The only time graphics truly turn a game experience bad is when you have to deal with jagged polygons. Those things are fucking ugly. That, and how some games seem to think immediate and dark shadows are the way to go--the kind where if there's a wall, there's a blackhole in the vicinity sucking out any amount of light possible to be reflected, refracted or otherwise cast around said wall into the dark crevice. It's when the graphics play against you, and do the opposite of their intention, that it turns sour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Of course I do. It helps if I like what I'm seeing when I play a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_____ Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I mean, TOS is the best game ever, and their graphics were average at best. The terrible cell-shading in ToS made my eyes bleed. Graphics are cool and all, but they're not the main point of the game. If a game looks good, I will say "Wow, this looks good.", but it's not like it's the most prominent part of my decision.

Super Mecha Death Christ Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I developed a philosophy with a friend of mine (the guy who runs handheld wii). We only need good graphics if the game is all (as the main theme, not some generic random enemy) about Dinosaurs. No dinosaurs, then I'll be happy with Atari graphics.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Graphics are more important (especially in this generation of gaming) than what most people think. While gameplay is more important, I am getting tired of having only good gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
