Graphics means "visuals", incorporating both technology and aesthetics.

All the tech in the world is irrelevant if the end result isn't appealing, like that top image. It's all about the end product, which is why Muramasa looks better, and why Metroid Prime 3 bests most PS3/360 games visually.

That's your opinion, of course. But you state it as if it's fact. Kinda childish. I don't think Metroid Prime 3 or Muramasa, however charming it looks, have better visuals than most of my favourite PS3 or 360 games. 

None of them looks as impressive to my eyes as God of War 3, the Uncharted series, Halo 4, Red Dead Redemption, Journey, Forza Horizon, Bioshock Infinite, Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us or Killzone 3. That's me. My eyes. My needs in graphics. But that doesn't mean I think the Wii dosn't have great looking games.

I do not state it as fact. You're misinterpreting. Not once did I say. "x is beter than y. Fact." Everything I write is obviously my opinion. I shouldn't have to write "IMHO" after ever little thing I write, it goes without saying.

It all comes down to wording your sentences a certain way. You come across as imposing you view, as stating it as a fact.

Saying things like IMO,  "I think",  "to me" does a good job at making sure you don't come across as imposing your views on others.

The guy I was debating with certainly wasn't wording his posts that way.

Yes,  and metroid is by no stretch of imgaination technically or graphically impressive by the general 7th gen standard

It is very graphically impressive. Not in terms of shaders and all that crap, but in terms of the visual impact, artistic design, how pleasing it is to the eye.


''shader and all that crap'' LOL, you mean the technical specs of the game, aka the graphics, which is the theme of this thread? 

Sorry,if the game doesnt have good ''shaders and all that crap'' than it cant be considered a graphically impressive game.

This is graphically impressive

 

This isn't

 

That top game isn't impressive at all, it looks dull and bland. The bottom one, Muramasa, looks vastly superior.

Graphics = visuals, not just tech. Great tech is irrelevant if the end product doesn't look good. Metroid Prime 3 looks better than most 360 games, hence it is more  impressive.

Actually it is literally 100 times more impressive thn Muramasa in just about every possible technical aspect. Polygons, animations, lighting, textures, shaders, literally everything. Your bias is extremly strong in this one.

Graphics are strictily about visual technical aspects of the game. What you are referring to are aesthetics, which are subjective, pointless to debate about, and are not what this thread is about.

Graphics mean visual technical aspects of the game. Your averige PS360 games has better graphics than 99% of Wii games, thus metroid doesnt looks as good most of PS460 games, far from it actually, from the graphical standpoint. You are, once again, arguing aesthetics, which are subjective and pointless to talk about

Yeah nobody cares about graphics...then everyone posts pics of pretty graphics anyway.

Graphics are commonly used to refer to aesthetics as well as technology. Metroid Prime 3 doesn't need to have more advanced technology for the end result to look better in the eyes of many. Superb art direction and a 60fps framerate go a long way.
