If the graphics weren't good then the game would be a bit of a letdown but as long as the story and gameplay was great I'd be happy as fuck. Vice versa it wouldn't be the same though.

Graphics is more important then the story IMO. Cause it IS a game, a video game, and that requires good graphics for a game to be even recognized as a good game. For example, take Modern Warfare 2's great graphics and the game wouldn't even be recognized as a good game anymore.

A good game HAS to have a good story otherwise its a bad game, so gamers and game designers mainly focus on good graphics and effects. Reason why we have next generation consoles asswhipping everything else. I personally love graphics, more than the gameplay. :smoking:

the fact is no gameplay = it dont get played, simple as that.

people may want it to look like a movie but in the end to see the outcome you have to play your way through this movie so gameplay will always win

depends on the game, if its sandbox, lets say,crackdown or saints row, graphics don't matter because those games were designed for gameplay and art style ( graphics don't have to be about polygons and effects all the time ), but lets say, GTA4, that game thrives on graphics to impress, graphics made that game fun for me.

Story & Gameplay are most priority for me, but the graphics need to be decent, if their trash, it takes away from the experience and it makes it less fun for me,

Technology brings freedom for gameplay elements, thats why most major 3rd party games don't appear on the wii.

Call of duty games, IMO have both the gameplay and graphics in order. Halo games are not GREAT technically, but the art style more than makes up for it.

Last example, burnout games = gameplay, and thats what makes them fun; Forza 3 = graphics, as realism NEEDS graphics , and thats whats appealing to people who are fans of racing sims, etc.

donkey kong country had amazing graphics for its time, I didn't like the gameplay though, don't know I just didn't enjoy it so I ignored the 2 latter sequals.
