there needs to be a vote for both. there could be a game with grizzly graphics, but if its terrible game play it sucks. same with the other way around, savage gameplay would be terrible if u cant see things due to poor graphics

Yeah I agree both are important. I say graphics are most important because bad graphics can cause bad gameplay.

Great gameplay can still save games with bad graphics. Compare the lion king and aladin games on the console then take a look at their gameboy counterpart. its basically the same game, but the graphics on the GB were less vobrant. What saved it was the gameplay. Graphics do not matter if the gameplay is bad (Sonic 3D comes to mind). Another example could be the success of Brave Fencer on the PS and the failure of ith sequel, Samurai Legend due to poor gameplay. Heck, right now Im playing the original Shining Force on my still functioning megadrive but I still havent gotten around playing shining tears for the PS2.

gameplay of course. obviously, graphics need to be decent so you can actually see something :laugh: hehe, but if a game were really really really beautiful, i might be convinced otherwise. if not, sure, i'll put up with nasty graphics for good gameplay anyday.

Graphics matter. Sure they do. But I've seen games with crappy graphics that were just a blast to play. Some games are actually better with bad graphics. It adds a certain quality to it.

Gameplay is more important but graphics are also a factor, it would probably be 75% Gameplay and 25% Graphics

Most certainly the gameplay, because when I was younger I played the systems like Atari, which had horrible graphics but none the less was a great system.

Gameplay. Sure it can be pretty, but I'd get tired of it if the gameplay was boring and horrible. And plus, some of the high quality gameplay lags my incredibly slow computer.

I look for gameplay. But that doesn't mean I don't look for decent graphics.

Gameplay.There are so many games that have no graphics AT ALL. But so many people still play them. Reason being, gameplay is everything in a game. You don't just play one to stare a pretty pictures, do you? :rolleyes:

Gameplay definitely. I don't understand people who only care about graphics.Games like Super Mario world didn't have good graphics, but it's still such an awesome game.

I'd say both in a game are the best :D but if this game only has good graphics and the actual game sucks, I'd choose a good game with bad graphics anyday. :P So I guess gameplay's more important :blink:
