I hate people who think they're cool when they say graphics don't matter.

They do, you dumbass.

Graphics certainly complement gameplay, and honestly change the feel of the game.  Even an M4 with a reskin that makes it look like an M16 still makes it feel like a whole different gun.
It wouldn't for me, I can't tell the difference.
And so called "good" graphics are a matter of opinion. "Good" graphics to me are ones that compliment each other, and are all in the same style. If anything looks slightly different it throws the illusion and I'm brought back to earth realizing I'm staring at a bunch of pixels.
Of course, good graphics aren't the only thing that makes a game. Everything needs to be well thought out or at least have some consistency.

You're stupid, just because you own a Wii doesn't mean you should accept shitty PSP ports on the system.

As a gamer I'd like to immerse myself in the game world and bad graphics certainly don't help in the enjoyment of gaming.

A game with bad graphics is like reading a book with little to no enviromnent description.
You need the world to come alive in a believable way and bad graphics completely destroys that aspect.

Please stop posting topics.

Thats your opinion. Personally I think you can have an amazing without good graphics, although of course great graphics are preferable.

They go hand in hand; it's not one or the other.

The issue that's being poked at with this thread is "People hate the wii because of the graphics".

No; that's not the case. People hate the wii because of the shitty 3rd and 1st party games, and ports of games on other consoles that have better graphics. Honestly, why would someone want to play a downgraded version of a game on a more powerful system?

If the Wii gets better first party games; not waggle games, then maybe it'll be a buy. The problem is; where are those good first party games?

I think it has enough good first party games to justify it's purchase. Then again, I'm used to owning around 5 games per generation, so I may be able to settle for less than others.

As for me, it more or less doesn't matter. I'll play a game with bad graphics as long as it still looks dignified.

Yeah no doubt it's justified for people who enjoy games like Mario Galaxy and such. I personally got sick of the Mario scene after Mario 64 DS. Mario Galaxy is a pretty game though.

I think Warioland is a good game, amongst a few others, but I just don't have enough interest in the other games released to want to buy the system :P

Yes graphics matter to me.  I still love loads of games with awful graphics, but when I buy a current game, I want it to look good.  Games are a visual media, so they should look good visually.

This doesn't mean realistic: I love stylized graphics.  However, low resolution outputs (wii) bother me, because it isn't up to date.

HD quality makes huge difference with large HD tvs. Non-HD gams and programming can oftentimes look like !@#$% on a 46" LCD tv.

(I didn't vote because of the options <_<)

Anyways, I don't consider myself as someone who likes a game for the graphics. I actually like the characters who have 3-Dimensional personalities. Graphics make the game look nice. I once played a game that had great graphics, but the gameplay was !@#$%...
I also like a game because of the morals it teaches.

I like pretty games.

But I can still enjoy ones that don't look quite as good, and ones that don't use the best technology. Like old games, but some new ones. Just has to have good art style. Or even then, sometimes not.

... Graphics are confusing :-X.

visuals encompass two elements: tech (graphics) and art

some games might have good tech, but poor art. sometimes the tech is so good you dont care that the art is generic or simply absent (like Crysis)

some games might have good art, but poor tech. sometimes the art is so cool that you dont care the tech is lackluster (like No more heroes)


some people like tech better and cant stand stuff like jaggies or no realtime shadows and !@#$%
some people like art better and cant stand unoriginal games that all look the same



I'd like to call that first category of gamers GREAT WHITE SHARKS. Their body, their teeth, their speed... a marvel of aquatic evolution.
I'd like to call that second category of gamers MOTHERFUCKING NARWHALS. They might look ugly or weird, but goddamn if that motherfucking horn doesnt just impale every !@#$% seal in sight, goddamn.

I'm personally more of a NARWHAL GODDAMN, but even I can drool at tech specs like a GREAT WHITE SHARK.

Would you rather play the sprite based Arkanoid, because it looks so much better. Then the ugly and simple looking ASCII Arkanoid?
Of course i would rather play the nice looking arkanoid. They are both exactly the same games, the only difference is the graphics, so i would obviously choose the better looking one.

When you compare games that are different from each other gameplay is the most important thing. Its nice if a game looks good, but if its really boring you would just stop playing. When a game looks bad it can still be a lot of fun to play. Like OOT. The graphics are really bad compared to what games look like these days, but i still enjoy it every time i play it.
