So, with this The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Fallout 4 trailer, I've found myself wondering, does it really matter?
This video got me thinking about this:
Sure, you could argue that in this day and age we have come to expect great graphic fidelity in games whilst maintaining an entertaining, captivating and engrossing story. I for one used to be a graphics whore; was very focused on how good "true-to-life" a game looked and felt, but is that really what makes a game good.
There are people saying that Fallout 4 looks dated, which it probably does, but is its looks a major selling point?
Now, The Last of Us was graphically gorgeous; scenery, characters and environment looked like a real world, but honestly, even if it'd looked like Fallout, I'd still have given it a 10/10 because the narrative was brilliantly presented.
As far as I'm concerned, great visuals are a bonus, IMO. If the story sucks, the visuals won't make up for that.
What I played was not interesting and no amount of graphic "superiority" is going to have me feeling any different about it.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree?
Do you think that having stunning (photo-realistic) visuals coupled with good narrative is what makes a game? Are people just complaining for the sake of complaining? Am I just running my mouth ranting?
I've probably repeated myself a lot in this thread.
Thanks for your responses.

His channel is actually quite popular, but I suspect people only subscribe once they catch on Francis is only an act
