Graphics vs gameplay

[REDDemon]

Graphics is part of the gameplay. It can be low res and low level of detail. But it must have something unique else the player will discard the game

I can't agree on that with you. I personally like even old games that have 'sucky' graphics and I wouldn't call them unique really. It's the game play of the game that attracts me and not the so called 'unique' graphics.
I would choose cs 1.6 over cs:source and many other, if not all fps games, stronghold (1) over many other strategy games.
Though, now the most fun game is 'Coding' and 'Studying', no fancy/unique graphics here too whatsoever

You misunderstood me. "sucky" for me = low res and low level of detail . Show me a link to a game that you like and you think it has sucky graphics and I'll tell you what's unique in that game . I never told that gameplay does not matter .

there is NO SUCH THING as 'sucky' graphics, unless it is made by a 5 year old in mspaint.
and yet it is unique and someone will take a fancy for it.

Minecrafts grahics isn't sucky, it is Unique.
SMB has awesome graphics, it may be a low res 2D sidescroller, but it is AWESOME.

all graphics have something good about them.
that's the way it is.

but Gameplay is still the most important part.


has anyone ever noticed taht they just dont make games the way they used to?
I mean, SM64, TLoZ: OoT, TLoZ: MM and so on...
AWESOME games.
now:
FPS, FPS, FPS, MMORPG, MMORPG...

basicaslly what there is..
fps, more fps, even more fps.. and some mmorpg, and let's add some more mmorpg....
basically every game made now is a clone to any other game on the shelf.
basically IDENTICAL first person shooters, where the only difference is the arsenal and the maps.
otherwise the same basic objective.
Kill everyone.
WHY CAN'T THE COMPANIES MAKE AWESOME GAMES ANYMORE!?

I grew up in the 8-bit era. Do I need to say any more?
