PC master race or console peasant, graphics always add to the experience.

Wind Waker is prob my fav Zelda game, people hated its art style. But I'd argue its look held up better than Twi Princess which came after.

Good graphics can't make a game good, but bad graphics can make a game bad

They don't matter, they're just icing. Shit graphics don't detract from a great game.

PC Master Race also has Undertale. This is a complexing dilemma.

Earthbound is one of my favorite games of all time. Graphics are the least cool thing about that game

Graphics don't truly matter to me, I'd just rather have the settings on max than on low

Graphics don't matter. AESTHETICS is what matters, and graphics are only there to SERVE the AESTHETICS.

Thank you. Darkest Dungeon has shit graphics, the attacks are only one frame, but the art style compensates and makes a great aesthetic.

True, graphics add to the experience but they take a backseat to gameplay, audio and story for me. An hd piece of crap is still crap.

I would rather the game look bad, than be bad.

I prefer when the dev puts most of their attention into combat/movement mechanics and uses simpler graphics. (MC, N, Binding of Isaac, etc.)

Games that have fun gameplay age well. Games that are played for their amazing graphics will be garbage by all accounts in 20 years.

The games that I played that developed my love for gaming had horrible graphics, but I still love them and can enjoy them even to this day.

How it runs > graphics
dickbuttisacocktail
Playing a game for the graphics is like watching porn for the story. Enjoyable good, adds to the experience, but not the main point
fr1080f
There's the thing. There are people who watch porn for the story. Everyone's different.
dickbuttisacocktail
Enjoyable IF good I mean. ... but then, who cares, post is 7h old, nobody going to see this <.< >.>

I disagree
alchemist12345
and yet games like Borderlands, Binding of Isaac, Minecraft, Terraria, Undertale, Kerbal space program, Sotuh Park etc are super popular
Glumerlink
graphics matter only a little, the truth is gameplay and how everything feels is what really matters
wzzt
Take any game and give it better graphics. It's now a better game. The discussion should be budget priorities gameplay versus graphics etc
whyteraven74
No, it's just a better looking game, maybe. As far as the quality of the game itself? That hasn't changed.
fr1080f
Technically still a better game in regards to graphics, which is what they said.

Explain Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7.
HowlingBark
Maybe, but I will always sacrifice graphics for performance!
xXGemDragonXx
I'm a gamer. Pikmin is special due to how deep it is. Not the graphics.
PL4T0NiCF0Rm
I don’t care much about graphics lol. Maybe I’m just old school where I shit my pants to CS 1.3 =/
CrissCross35
Graphics does matter in many games it makes it go from great to amazing, but it is not the main factor in a game. Game play is always nr 1.
420HippieDrummer
It is all a matter of personal preference in what one likes due to differences in personality. To argue ether side is pointless& closeminded
RupertR
If graphics are the most important thing to you, you probably aren't much of a gamer.
fr1080f
"Graphics add to the experience" - OP It's like a car. Insides could be identical, but you'd chose polished over rusted.
RupertR
There are far more older games with at best decent graphics that I'd rather play than most of the new games.
RealShaun
Downvoting because graphics simply really dont matter. Just an excuse to get consumers to buy the newest hardware.
fr1080f
Well they do.... why do the same thing over when you can advance.
DarkGetzeye
I used to game on PC until it up and died 3 years ago :/ getting a PS4 probably didn't help the rebuild.
GetUpOnOuttaHereWithMyEyeholes
Gameplay matters. Graphic hit their pinnacle years ago.

Pinnacle? Hah. Doubtful. Almost never bad enough to fuck with the game? Absolutely.
Deathstrik3
Fortunately we're at the point now where most games have an acceptable level of graphics. So that argument is fairly moot IMO.
DarkGetzeye
Looking back at the differences between games sometimes shows a huge massive difference. Metal Gear Solid series for example.
ReverendAurora
But MGS is still immensely playable, the graphics don't matter in it.
DarkGetzeye
Try telling that to my nephews :/
ReverendAurora
They'll learn, right now you'd be better off referring to them as Phillistines.
Lobuttomize
Tell that to the wii u
ElectricFortune
Are you implying the Wii U doesn't have an acceptable level of graphics?
Lobuttomize
It doesn't have hardware that devs want to work with so probably not
NorwegianSheepknuller
Art style is the keyword. Check out some of the highest rated games on that machine and say their ugly, they're not.

How many are third party

That's what they said 10 years ago. I was there. They said "Halo looks so great, why bother with more power?"
Deathstrik3
Some games now look pretty photo realistic. http://orig08.deviantart.net/dfed/f/2016/265/3/d/tier0_gif2_small_by_dictator93-daijy1r.gif
fr1080f
I often think what if one day games become so realistic that there could be real footage, but we would still think it's a computer graphics.
tablecat
I'm not saying you're wrong, but that's a bad example, because it's not from a game.
Deathstrik3
Actually it is, it's an in engine demo of a new facial animation tech.
tablecat
Which is still not an accurate representation of how it'll actually look like in a game - only what the engine is technically capable of.
