Graphics vs Gameplay

[The Lunatic]

Graphics are important, but, if the gameplay is crap then the game is crap.

A good graphical experience and the technologies emerging in making a game look and feel more realistic can make gameplay more interesting and fun. However, a good concept and well executed concept is generally enough to interest me.

!GAMEPLAY¡ that's why we play games right?

Gameplay>Graphics.

If it looks bad but is plays well i can forgive it.
If it looks great but plays bad i cant play it.

 

[TerranReaper]

Both. Although I prefer good art style as opposed to good graphics.

 

[Peteron]

I am a game play kind of guy. As long as it isn't 64 graphics, I am fine. Good graphics are only a bonus.

 

[Xiorell]

Gameplay every time. It is nice if a game can look pretty while being fun, but not really all that important.

 

[Grey_Focks]

Neither. I want a decent balance between the two. It doesn't have to be beautiful, and it doesn't have to be the most fun to play ever, but I like games to display at least a decent quality of both.

This. I need a balance between the two. I know there are a lot of good classic games, and I DO sometimes still play diablo 2, but good god, the graphics really do hurt it. I suppose if made to choose, I would choose the game with bad graphics and good gameplay, since there are plenty of good looking games that I do not like.
