Depends. If the game advertises a lot about the graphics, and they suck. I will not get it. Here's why, if a game advertises about it's graphics so much, it indicates that they spent a lot of time on the graphics. (Possibly indicating that other areas of the game didn't get as much love) When the graphics are mediocre, it shows me that the thing they spent 90% of their time, resources, and power on, isn't very stunning, and that other parts of the game will be even worse. (This is where reviews come in) Sometimes that isn't the case. Look at Gran Turismo 5. Advertised as the most realistic looking racing game. Graphics looked great, photorealistic at certain times. What happened was that they seemed to spend most their time on graphics, and very little time on anything else. The game lacked in gameplay regions.
