A gimmick is not in the eye of the beholder it is what is passing pleasure. Its a fleeting trick or fad that is used to gain popularity and then fades off into mediocrity. Graphics are the backbone of videogames. Tetris...has graphics. pixels....mathematical inputs...its no gimmick. Graphics are not subjective and ultimately comes down to math and science and wielded by artistic talent but beauty....beauty is completely subjective. |
Yes, and it also requires a controller to dictate input, ergo the d-pad. Controllers, like graphics, are an integral (read backbone) part of gaming. To call either a gimmick is retarded, hence my use of it for something as fundamental as graphics while you use it for something as fundamental as inputs, to show how silly things get when you're silly.
