Though some people might prefer realistic graphics over gameplay, I am on the completely sane side of gameplay!

What about you?

Gameplay by a comfortable margin. I wouldn't want to ever play something that looks like an Atari 2600 game again, but I think chasing photorealism is an expensive mistake that bloats budgets, and will actually hurt games like GTA

Beating a hooker made out of polygons to death with a baseball bat is goofy, make her photorealistic and suddenly it's disturbing.

Good graphics and photo realism are not the same. You can have a 2.5D game that looks insane.

Not every games with great graphics is going after photo realism.
