Artistic direction is more important to me. For example, I prefer Bioshock's and Super Mario Galaxy's graphics over Crysis', despite the later having more technology.

 

Again, I disagree. Artistic direction, for me, is a part of a game's graphics; the two go hand-in-hand. So, further to that, I'd rather Bioshock retained it's graphical style but had the graphical quality of Crysis. That would rock a lot. However, it doesn't, and Bioshock is certainly the better game of the two (to my tastes); but, I'd still rather Bioshocks graphics were better if they could be, especially as being immersed in Rapture is such an important part of the game.

In short: A great game with average graphics wins over an average game with great graphics (for me). But a great game with great graphics wins over them both.

I assume when you say a great game, you mean great gameplay? I think the issue with putting those into two seperate categories, is that graphics can enhance the gameplay. I think the chainsaw melee attack is much more satisfying with blood flying out of the body, and other details really make you feel more in the world, and so make you care about the characters more, and get into the game more, for me improving my enjoyment of the gameplay and the story

 

Good point. I agree entirely. And, yes, I meant great gameplay.
