It always has been more about gameplay than graphics but the jump in visual fidelity was fun in past gens.  I believe this gen and future gens that gameplay is more important than ever. If this gen becomes a battle of resolution and fps I'm going to be severely disappointed.

The jump in graphic quality is not so evident from the last generation to the current one.  What makes all those graphic whore talk only more and more silly.

I´m personally tired about all this shit. For me, art style make for better graphics than simple resolution.

Unfortunately, the industry is living a paradigm today that only games with realistic graphics, gore, violence and shooting shooting shooting are taken into consideration. No more puzzle games, challenging fantasy rpgs, music & rhythm games, adventures, platformers etc. Since games are becoming more and more similar in gameplay, people will only care about graphics.

It´s a shame because game are NOT primarly made by graphics. Gameplay comes first graphics after. The industry and the press think otherwise

This thread is not about graphic whoring. 

You can have your opinion about graphics and gameplay, but don't think your opinion is fact. For some, resolution is more impressive.

Bad graphics have a crippling effect on a game, much life bad gameplay. Good graphics immerse you, bad graphics do the opposite. 

And no, realistic graphics, gore, and violence are not the only things being made. Playstaiton and Microsoft have a lot of genres, and damn good games. To say that is such a generalization.
