What Is More Important To You?

[PvK]

People enjoy games and fiction with their imaginations. Game display and game play both contribute to that, but there's a huge range of what does the trick for different players. I don't need graphics except to help understand the situation, and I can get bored with a game just by looking at the box and seeing that it is a derivative shallow game design that could never come close to holding my interest. On the other end of the spectrum are kids I've seen who can enjoy the graphics of a game and have a great time - even if they haven't even realized that they aren't out of the "attract" mode display and aren't having any effect at all on what they're seeing while they grapple with the controls. Somewhere in the middle is the mass-market audience, who megabucks corporate managers still annoyingly think want graphics over gameplay.
