I would like a game to look graphically good and play well, but if it is a crappy game, no amount of graphical fidelity will change it.
I had a little bit typed out how the game can be slightly worse and I'll prefer it if the graphics are better, but then I tried to think about an example. I literally looked at every game in my collection and then came back and am now editing this post.
If the game is better graphics don't matter. I'd rather play the better game. However if it's the exact same gameplay, the difference is negligible, or it's remade to be even better than the original, then I'll play both but I prefer the better game.
My favorite games are Brigandine and Brigandine Grand Edition. Check them out on Youtube. The two best TRPGs that most people haven't played. Atlus published them in the US if that helps :P. PS1 games with dated graphics. The graphics aren't ugly, but they're simple. Amazing gameplay makes the game, the music is really good too.
