Exclamation New Poll: Gameplay versus Graphics

Yes...it's the old debate about gameplay versus graphics...but now with a poll out front.

How important are graphics in a game?

  • You cannot have a great game without great graphics!
  • Graphics are important, but gameplay is equally important.
  • Who needs graphics? All I care about is the gameplay!
Register your vote. And don't forget: you can also leave comments, too!

Re: New Poll: Gameplay versus Graphics

The best games in todays market will have a balance of both, and perform well too.

Re: New Poll: Gameplay versus Graphics

You should have made it a poll to begin with, easier to track the responses.

Gameplay wins over graphics, as a personal choice.

But the other extreme holds true as well. The best game play in the world won't offset the migraine inducing crap-tastic graphics...

Re: New Poll: Gameplay versus Graphics

This is interesting:

Even though the poll only has only garnered 8 responses , the graphics don't matter crowd only got 13% of the vote so far, with Graphic & Gameplay getting 50% and Graphics Rule! (for lack of a better term) crowd getting 38%! 'Graphics don't count' is a distinct minority.

Now, it could be people screwing with the poll, but I don't think so. I think those numbers are quite telling.
