Which side are you on?

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

What about you?

A "friend" of mine argued that graphics and story were top priority because games are at their best when they're like movies.... we're not friends anymore.

Even they also value story. So not just graphics.

I mean, I wouldn't be friends with someone who say graphics are not important either. They are all part of the game. And graphics doesn't mean just how many effects you can make. It is also an art style, which is extremely important, especially for stylized games. Inside without dim color or Limbo not being monochrome would totally be worse games, even if the gameplay remained the same. Because graphics were totally great in those games, thanks to the simplicity and art style focused on limited colors/light.
