graphics dont matter but art style and polish do. frame rate problems and jaggies are part of polish and upscaling can cause jaggies and the game has a few framerate problems. |
I agree to a certain extent, but at the end of the day great gameplay trumps everything else.
Prime example: GTA3. The animations weren't great, the cars were nowhere near even GT3 levels, and on foot you could clearly see graphical glitches, such as improperly-mapped textures or unjoined meshes where you could see through the polygons into nothingness.
That didn't stop the game from receiving numerous accolades, GOTY awards and critical acclaim, not to mention an almost rabid cult following. Why?
Gameplay.
