to get laid?

Depends on what you mean by "graphics", really.

I don't care much about the technical aspects of a game, but I do care about good art direction and good visuals. You can make a good looking game for any hardware as long as you give consideration to the limits you're given.

That said; More powerful hardware = broader pallette.

im confused..

For me they are important.

But for example I like Halo 3 more than Killzone 2, so they aren't all important for me, the fun I get from the game is also vital.

But Uncharted 2 has a perfect belend of fun, presentation & graphics!

Funny, I don't recall any of those things being in RE4 or Twilight Princess.

Besides MGS4, I can't really think of a single game with amazing graphics that really had me hooked.


The only things that really bother me visually are too many jaggies and fugly art styles.

I really don't care too much about graphics that it becomes a buying decision for me. I think art style is far more important for me, some of my favourite games this generation were Bioshock and Assassins Creed.

Graphics matter only to a point. When you first pop-in that game and you are like "wow, this looks nice". However, that can only last so long. It has to be good gameplay and atmosphere that keeps you playing.

I remember an old game for the PS1 called King's Field. It's graphics were subpar compared to many N64 games, but the atmosphere is what kept me and my friend playing.

That being said, a game shouldn't ever have you thinking (that object looks like crap) while in the middle of playing (aka: something looks so bad it breaks immersion). If we do, the developers did not do their job.
