Are you a graphics snob?

This is where my complete ignorance and lack of knowledge about graphics help me. I can play a game which isn't big on graphics and love it. I recognize good graphics in games like Uncharted, but I could care less about 60fps and Castrol Nvidia GTX. I only just recently figured out what 60fps means, and it wasn't all that different from what I already knew, from working in the media industry.

TL;DR: graphics don't really matter, as long as you're having fun with a game.
 
And that's why you guys Nintendo sooooo much right? They're the epitome of this sentiment yet most of you guys avoid them like the plague.

Yeah, good point. I've never played a Nintendo game and not have a fucking blast of the time. Graphics isn't even a thought when you pick that 3DS or Nunchuck up.

Played Wii tennis for 10 minutes then called it quits - too exhausting. Was fun while it lasted.

I'm a huge fan of New Super Mario Bros on the Wii (leeching play time on a cousin's console :o:p), I've just never been able to justify buying a console to complement my PC, whether it be PS, Xbox (Well, I won that here on MyG :D), or Wii.


By the way, for those who haven't played these, try Strider (relatively recent), Mark of the Ninja, or Sacred Citadel. These are more examples of the Aesthetics vs Graphics viewpoint.

This.

Look at a game like "Papers, Please":

Those graphics would never work on a FPS, but for this type of "simulation", it was spot on. In fact, photorealistic graphics would have made the game less immersive.

Although Ive sunk many hours so far in papers please and FLT, I cant help but think every time I play, that it would've been more enjoyable with better graphics or even just in higher resolution. So yeah, I think Im a bit of graphic snob. I still enjoy the games but I think 8/16 bit art style is a bit lazy in 2014.

Never! I absolutely adore Nintendo titles. I would love to buy a Wii U soon but I just cannot right now :(.

Are gamers too obsessed with graphics quality and forgetting about gameplay and storyline?

Nope most of my games I play don't even have good graphics. I like the game cause of the gameplay and fun it gives even Tetris can be fun yet it is just blocks same with the Mario/Pokemon games.

People who obsess about graphics are losing out on tons of good, fun games.
