| Bodhesatva said: It's not a crutch, Kasz, it's a different set of emphases. Again, I think muscle cars are a great example. Is the extra acceleration and top speed of a Pontiac GTO a "crutch"? No, it's just a different set of priorities for what the car should be, and clearly some people prefer those priorities. |
When it becomes THE emphasis, it's a crutch. A game should be able to sell on the merits of gameplay alone. When that fails and graphics are required to re-balance the ship....it's a crutch.
Bod, your muslce car example would actually fall under gameplay, not graphics. A high end paint job would be what you're looking for in a car analogy.
