I've been noticing alot of people on this forum love to hate on CoD for using the same engine and having "same graphics" and I honestly don't see why they hate em, I personally think they're fine. Anywho, that's besides the point, Do you care about how good (or bad) graphics are in a video game? Or in other words, does the quality of graphics effect your view on a game?
As long as the game is fun, I don't mind graphics! Hell, I still play some gamecube and gbc games every now and again.

I want to be able to clearly identify what things are without having to really think about it. I remember in the past I'd sometimes get stuck because the game failed to depict the necessary tools to advance in the game. Ever had the "[i]oh, that's a key[/i]" feeling? We're pretty much beyond that now, and to me a developer who pushes [i]Amazing graphics[/i] as one of their key selling points is just showing feathers. I'm not concerned about graphics much anymore (with the exception of racing simulators). I'm now [i]much[/i] more concerned with game mechanics.
