I dont understand y ppl prefer graphics over gameplay.
To me gameplay is all that matters

you need good graphics for great gameplay

i think they should be equal. i mean, i just need to find the game attractive enough where i actualy want to play it. the Gamplay is just as important, but not more important. i think they go hand in hand. but it is alright if the gameplay outweighs the graphics a little.

well i mostly care about good graphics for the sake of making movies, because no one wants to see non shiny metal.... but seriously i wish no one cared, but im afraid thats not how things work

sometimes insufficient graphics card can help ingame. Like if you have a crappy graphics card, (like a 128 or below) you can acctuallly distinguish a Camo'd unit from the background. But other than that, the games presentation should be equal to gameplay. You also forgot another key component in a game. Audio.

Yea, the game would suck if it had gameplay as god as halo, doom 3, or HL2 (as I see them) but the graphics of pong.

whats so important about audio... really an intergrated audio card is going to be just as a good as 500 dollar one... audio is audio

If you have a low end graphics card, then you'll most likely get FPS lag, hence lowering gameplay level.

So I'd say they're equal.

another thing about graphics,they can hurt your eyes if u have a bad gfx card. Im living proof,had a 64mb card for 2 years. when u feel the pain in your eyes from looking at this dark crap and untextured surfaces,you wont wanna play as much

thats one thing i lvoe about my computer, the audio is AWSOME!

what I meant about audio is that does the game itself sound realistic to whats really going on onscreen?? How is the Voiceover quality?? If they made a game based on a movie, did they use the same Actors from the movie?? that kind of stuff

btw, im talkin about console games

oh lol, well, graphics on ANY platform doesnt matter to me, i mean, the very first DOOM's graphics dont bother me at all lol.

if the graphics rock, AWSOME!
if they suck, Dont care, as long as the game is fun

Same with me MG,

perfect balance, ninja gaiden

GAmeplay defineltey.I mean magein this:
You can have a game where super realistic graphic with nice partical effects and you jsut go around.Now for instance MarioKart64 BAd graphics but a whole fucking lot of fun
