I personally believe that anyone who believes that graphics make a game or that graphics are the be all and end all of the gaming industry quite clearly has little or no knowledge of just exactly what it is they are talking about.

It's as though they thought to themselves -
''I know, if I make up some crap and say the words polygons and graphics it will sound like I know what I am talking about''

I will say this only once 'Gameplay Makes The Game What It Is, and nothing else'
That's why people still play the N.E.S
That's why people still play the Mega Drive (Genesis)
That's why people still play the Playstation

By todays standards, all graphically, crap. Does that mean the games are crap?
NO it certainly doesnt. In fact the said consoles STILL support some of the greatest most innovative games on the market and many have yet to be surpassed.

Oblivion - one of the graphically most spectacular games on the market. But did I enjoy it any more than morrowind? Did it change the gameplay at all?
NO and NO... it just looked prettier.

Random Person - 'I am getting a Playstation 3 because it will be the most powerful console and have the best graphics.'
My Reply - 'I am gonna get me a wii at half the price because it will have the best, most innovative and enjoyable games on it'

You see what I am saying?
If not then God give me strength...
