Everyone reckons the only important part of a game is the gameplay, then why do you think all of these "super-consoles" are coming out! Gameplay is very important but the better the graphics, the more realistic, and the more realistic, the better the gameplay. For example, would Half-Life be the great game it is if it was in 2D! Not a chance! And the same goes for plots. There are great games without great plots, but would Metal Gear Solid be the game it is today without the great plot???

I'm not saying that a lot of people dont buy mags... but the majority of gamesplayers dont... there enough console owners now for computer mags to sell a good number, whilst still having the mainstay of owners only having read one or two...

However... since were all agreeing with each other, since just about the begining! :).. I'll guess this thread has pretty much run?

I've always found that Gameplay is the most important factor but graphics are still incredibly important.

Take Pokemon Red. Great gameplay but the red only qraphics do look ugly once you've finished the game.

Pokemon Gold is so much more beautiful...

Most people don't buy mags? How do you explain that most mags have a very large number of copies sold each month? General people on the street are increasingly buying magazines to keep them up to date, especially if they need to make a buying decision and they're not in the 'loop'

I'm sure that a lot of people who are SR customers are not all game addicts, and where did they hear about the company?

All my own opinion of course!

If you've already got good gameplay, then you add good graphics, it makes it: good gameplay+good graphics = super good.
