The boardgame Go doesn't need fancy graphics, but people still spend fantastic amounts of money on boards/stones. Nethack is usually used as an example of a game with bad graphics, but for the information density there really is no better way than text. | ||

The only FPS games I ever played were Q3 Arena and CS and I hate JRPGs with passion. Sadly Wii's prehistoric tech specs and gay and gimmicky control options doesn't allow for enjoyable gaming. With the exception of SMG and Fire Emblem noone of Wii games have entertained me for more than 30 minutes. | ||

I can spend countless hours on Dwarf Fortress. Graphics are a plus, but gameplay is the selling point. | ||

Umm PC has better graphics than consoles. It has pretty much always had it. It also has better gameplay in many (most) cases. What it doesn't have is ease of usage and low costs for high graphics. I voted graphics, due to the fierce competition I can almost always find a game with similar gameplay but better graphics. There are some notable exception, but they are exceptions. | ||

And graphics are pretty important too in some games, as they let you immerse better/see better/enjoy more. | ||

More often than not though, we have games that just look pretty and lack any real depth. It's like the blood and gore argument, eventually you stop noticing it when you are playing and the game (whichever it may be) comes down to strategies and concentration. I feel the same way about graphics, at some point I will stop noticing the beautiful HDR or the texture detail and after that, the game better have a damn good backbone otherwise it's not going to get much playtime afterwards. | ||

People play games for a challenge, enjoyment, and the story. Now Wii graphics are much worse than they could be, but that is too keep the system cheap. Instead of trying to push the graphics engine of the PS3, developers should make good games (which is why the PS move and Kinetic are doomed to fail). This actually has absolutely nothing to do with why the Wii beats out the other consoles in sales... like, at all. Ironically, it's the wii gameplay that's probably consistently the worst out of all the systems... by far. The gimmicky nunchuck shit only really works for a handful of games—not anything like COD, Madden or NHL series or any major franchise really. For most games, it's simply more hassle than fun to swing a stupid piece of unresponsive plastic in the air. Wii is almost exclusively built on it's niche market, catering to people who typically wouldn't identify as 'gamers' but find wii sports cool or something like that. The remaining demographic is pretty much just Nintendo fanboys (SSBM, Mario and Zelda was enough for my brother and his friend to buy and then the thing went right into the garbage because the system is junk besides that) Seriously, I've heard multiple people say they've bought their wife/gf wii sports because the SO enjoys it and it's the easiest way to get her to lose weight without saying she's fat. THAT'S FUCKIN' BRILLIANT MARKETING!! I definitely take gameplay over graphics, but it's not as skewed as some of you are making it. It's definitely not 90-10. I'm not paying $60 in 2010 for 8 bit graphics. That's why people are dirting on the Goldeneye reboot. It's essentially the exact same game, cept the graphics look like they are from 2005 instead of 1996... it's like every title on the wii actually. A recycled old classic that's completely uninspired but will sell anyway. | ||
