Graphics are great but new fresh and fun gameplay is where its at.

I'll never forget how much fun I had when I played games like
Castlevania SOTN
Sonic 2
Resident Evil 1
Halo
Zelda Link to the Past
Metal Gear Solid
Geometry Wars 2
FEAR
Half life 2
etc

And it isn't just because some of them had awesome graphics at the time...

That SOTN boy, man what a timeless classic.............

I still think gameplay is vastly more important, but I enjoy discussing graphics, and it gives me a thrill to see the technical underdogs pushing their limits. (Wii, Wii U)

I'm a graphics whore considering I would rather have better graphics, but a lot of my favorite games are on the NES, SNES, and PSX. I have no problem playing older games so long as they're good.


Yes, Playing good games is a must......... nothing beats a well put together game.

I have a thing for the underdog. XD

Great graphics are, well, great but I prefer good gameplay.
I don't think eye candy can make me shell out $60 on a game with bad gameplay.

I 100% without question am a graphics whore. And I'm also obsessed with photographing amazing graphics.


Have you tried Pokemon Snap in 1080p with an emulator? Perfect game for you.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

And if you can't, you aren't? Does not compute.

Perhaps your definiton of a graphics whore is different to mine.

The way I see it a graphics whore is a person who percieves graphics in games to be of paramount importance, over all other aspects.  It doesn't matter if they only own a gameboy colour, if they value things that way, that's what they are.

can you appreciate the intracate blend and aroma of a fine wine without the wine?

Haha nope but your right that does sound perfect!

That being said I can't be the only one that feels the Wii U is PERFECT for a Pokemon Snap game using the Gamepad for some really cool gameplay am I? Plus there isn't a ton of AI or interactivity in Pokemon Snap which would allow Nintendo to reall push the hardware visually.
