It's possible that he meant idiot/dumb/illiterate/idiot/shallow in a "nice" way, but I consider them to be flames.

Obviously, I said that already. I said that if a game has bad graphics they should aim to improve them, not just say "hey the gameplay is good so we don't need graphics".

No, I said that if the game has a weak point they should improve it.

They don't need good graphics, but there is no reason they should settle for bad graphics just because of some hipster belief that "good game no need graphics bro".

Graphics matter for any kind of game. My ideology is that if there is a weak point it should be improved. It is not graphics specific.
Why is it that every time there is a discussion here people automatically act like it is a contest? Is there something I'm missing? Do I gain rep points for 'winning' a discussion? I don't understand why so many people act like it is a contest.
hate to break your love bubbles, but the guy has a point. Salem looks bad. And not artistic bad, the graphics seem to be able to run on a playstation 1. Being a good game is never an excuse to be a shitty game.

I agree with you sid, but he's basically saying the graphics are a very very important priority, which they aren't.
Once this game has all of the vital game mechanics, then they can work on graphics. (And the graphics don't even need much improving tbh)

Seeing as how graphics enable you to interpret the game, I'd say it's a pretty big deal. Denying that would basically be saying a game doesn't need to be observed to be played, which could be plausible if you were playing a non-visually interpreted game, but you aren't, and the vast majority of video games are visually interpreted (hence, video game). On a literal level, one could say that all video games are visually interpreted.
Now, you more likely meant that graphics, while necessary, do not have to be a huge priority. Well, you're wrong. Graphics play a huge part in the appeal, interpretation, and play of a game; for instance, would Modern Warfare give you the same feeling of being in the character's shoes if it had Team Fortress 2 graphics? Of course not, because certain uses of graphics can, do, and must help define a game, besides the necessity for visual interpretation.
Moving to a more local stance, Salem itself may not be a graphics intensive game and certainly not a "realistic" graphics game, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be an upgrade to improve the visual appeal with better graphics. The graphics can be improved and still keep the feel of the gameplay in mind, so why not improve? Why fight improvement?
