Of course resolutions matters...It's not the end all be all, but it does matter.

When you say it "is not the end all be all" do you mean from a graphics perspective or from how enjoyable the game is? Because resolution is by far the most important factor to graphics.

 

Most games look better at med settings at 1080p than ultra at 720p. Resolution is the end all of graphics. I do not run anything below 1080p on my PC.

 

Does being below 1080p "ruin" a game? No. I have played BF4 on an PS4 and an Xbox One (900p vs 720p) and I could not spot the differences without searching for them. 1080p is a large jump up from 900p though, sadly that is the only game I have played on both platforms

Well, both really. It's true that resolution makes a big difference in clarity but things like modeling and detail make up a good chunk of graphic quality too. As well as subjective things like art-style.

Granted, I am just saying if you take the exact same game and put one version at 720p and one version at 1080p the difference will be quite obvious.

But to say one game looks better than another has more opinions to it, Journey is amazing looking but it does not go for realism at most points
