i agree with you completely. someone said that is:lacktheknack said:Oh, they matter. I'm a self-proclaimed graphics whore.Vault101 said:graphics don't matterlacktheknack said:"The" "graphics" "aren't" "good" "enough"
.
you can call me the biggest dumbest scourge of the industry heathan....buuut to me graphics kind of do matter
It's just that every time someone tells me the graphics aren't good enough, they're talking about something like this.

Yes, someone told me that Just Cause 2's graphics were inadequate. I nearly had an aneurysm.
...Why? I see no real distinction between "I murdered your ass" and "I raped your ass" when used to refer to video games.nekoali said:I am on board with hating the use of the word 'rape'. This is the most single horrible thing one person can do to another. Not a replacement for 'I just kicked your butt'. Not only that but it is horribly triggering to people who have survived it and just plain crude.
What the hell does that even mean?! I get called that so many times!Vuliev said:"scrub"
just curious..Phlakes said:Right now, "petition", because it's getting really fucking childish. Now we're getting preemptive petitions based on absolutely no evidence, and it's all just losing every bit of power it could've had. Like boycotting.
Also "ruined" or "ruined forever". Ex. "Mass Effect 3's ending retroactively ruined the entire series" or "the Halo franchise is ruined forever because they changed how weapons spawn".

I think you covered my major ones right there, so I'll just add (regarding immersion)Crono1973 said:Alot of words get thrown around too much by gamers, which ones bother you the most? For me it's:
- Entitled (It's normal for a business to be greedy but a customer wanting to get his money worth is entitled)
- Immersion (must be those people who tie their kids up/let them starve while they play video games, I want no part of that)

I've taken to hitting her over the back of the head every time she does it now.
Yeah. I think the biggest problem is that there seems to be no objective definition. Everyone has their own, very personal idea of what is and isn't art I guess.Fiz_The_Toaster said:Well goddamn, OP you just used what I was about to say.
The other word I really hate seeing around is "art" and if games are that. That discussion gets very ugly very fast, and no one wins after having it.
