Finally someone who talks sense. I'm sick of all these graphics comparisions either between games or across consoles. It's a game - GAMEPLAY is what really matters. It could look as good as anything, textures could be 100% photo realistic, every model could have more polygons than atoms in the universe, it could have animations that are as realistic as live action footage - but if it plays like shit then it might as well be a movie.
Yes we all like something to look good, but it shouldn't be to the detrement of what we want - a good GAME.
This is where the PC vs console argument leans towards the consoles in my onipion. With the limit of technology available in consoles, developers are forced to innovate. Whereas with the freedom of PC specs they can pretty much just go the path of least resistance. The greatest breakthroughs come from limitations, and with the PC "Master Race" simply demanding better graphics (and for some unknown reason gloating about it) actual gameplay falls down.
If you have gameplay without graphics you still have a game, but if you have graphics without gameplay you've got a video.
