Quote:I'm not one of those people who lies and says graphics mean nothing. They most certainly do. The better they look, the more detailed they are, the more believable and engrossing the game will be. Obviously graphics aren't anything, but they are the single most important factor in how a game draws you in.
Oh, you're right, graphics definitely matter. But style matters just as much... lots of games could stand to be improved but sometimes a game looks great with a style that was limited by technology and improving it wouldn't help the game much at all...
But as I said in my post before yours there, when you first play a game matters a lot. If when you first play it it's on top graphically then yes there is a higher chance that in the future you'll wish for it to be better and match what you thought it was in your mind... but if you play it later, when it's already not the best? I'd say that it's a different story then...
But then I've also seen far too many remakes and "improvements" of games that just did not work to really support the idea wholeheartedly. Even very well done ones, like Link's Awakening DX, have issues...
