People don't bitch about how Monopoly looks like a piece of shit, they bitch about how somebody always gets Boardwalk before them. Why? Because GAMEPLAY is what matters in a game, not GRAPHICS.
If graphics didn't matter we would all be playing purely textbased games. I like how you say that only shallowest players care about graphics, but I have never met anyone who can truly say they don't care about graphics.
Are you truly telling me that Prince of Persia (0
is not enhanced by having some of the most gorgeous graphics ever seen in a game? What kind of person says graphics don't matter, when every major studio spends millions of dollars - often more than 50% of the budget - on graphics? Probably the kind of person who knows nothing about games!
Also I like how you magically transform "bad graphics annoy me" in to "OMG I ONLY CARE ABOUT GRAPHICS". That's some serious reducto ad absurdum!
Why can't a game have good graphics and good gameplay? OH WAIT IT CAN. So stop needlessly defending a game that has shit graphics just because "OMG GOOD GAMES NEED TO LOOK LIKE FESTERING SHIT".
Your argument makes 0 sense on multiple levels, so maybe next time you won't flame without thinking.
