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.
