Are graphics really important in video games?

Nope, artstyle is much more important.

good luck playing a videogame without graphics

I think performance is more important, but I think we are at a time where fucking 1080p should be the norm always.

Only to a point. As long as the graphics are "good" enough to not be a muddled mess then it's okay. Realistic graphics are a meme, it's not interesting.

a game that is boring when stripped to white textures and boxes is not a real game but a movie

Good luck not getting hit by traffic if you wander off from your handler.

Style and aesthetic: Yes.

Technical power: No.

I still routinely play and enjoy SNES games, and the output resolution of that console is 256x224

Not really
I mean when you start getting lower than NES / GB graphics that's when stuff gets tricky to enjoy but anything higher is fine

video GAMES

Yes they are, not in the sense of how many of muh resolution you can cram on a single model and make it look as uncanny as possible but in the sense of art direction and expressing your vision being able to see what the you are doing, having clean UIs, you know the utility off having graphics.
Some atari games look better than others, Witcher 3 looks better than any Bioware shit.

Why is this buglady being posted all over Yea Forums now?

artstyle >>>> graphical fidelity

why is everyone is too retarded to understand this?

Dafuq is wrong with her face? Its like part of her jaw is missing. She looks like what my waifu charactrers end up looking in game after I spent a while in character creator trying to get them right, so im forced to restart to fix them.
Also, wide shoulders, im thinking trap chance at 50%.

Graphics are important up until they can properly convey art style. Mario didn't really need better graphics than the Gamecube, except Mario Kart which benefits from the sharper Switch display.
"Realistic" shooters continue to benefit from gorillion dollar budgets because it's very important I can see every blackhead on that soldier's nose in the reflection of that bead of sweat.
Meanwhile MMOs have been hurt by better graphics because their art styles are generally meant to be interpretive to engross you in the world more over time. The world of Runescape feels more real than any Korean MMO where 99% of the budget went to graphix and the other 1% went to the character creator.
Graphics can even create art style through necessity. Look at Brave Fencer Musashi or Megaman Legends, fucking amazing low poly art styles that look great. Only problem is low resolution which is a weakness.

tl;dr: Usually no, but a crisp resolution is almost always good

Photo realism doesn't make games memorable in of themselves
The adoption of it as a standard forces designers to actively try to be more creative than their peers
The more generic brown/bloom/orange&blue lens flare bullshit there is the more actual design innovation stands out

The mouthbreathing muh graphics fags that make up the majority of wannabe PC gamers playing multiplats on ps4/xbox isn't going to be that bad in the long run

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

Check mailbox

Why are you checking other peoples' mail, asshole

Hmmm... Yes and no. Resident 2 remake is good game with good grophics.
Silent hill 1 is good game with old graphics.

Eat grue

We've been watching graphics slowly evolve for most of our lives so this is impressive but not amazing to us. We can tell the difference between this and reality.
Imagine showing this to someone 200 years ago. They'd think it was real. Show them any big name Hollywood movie these days they'd think the world was ending.

I don't know the word "check".

one of them looks like this irl

In all likelihood, part of her jaw IS missing, she's Korean and they're plastic surgery capital of the world

Yes but I'll play old games where they did as best as they could with limited technology. I fucking hate pixel art.

Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet.

>Are graphics really important in video games?
There wouldn't be anything to see without graphics, simpleton

Read leaflet

You don't have the leaflet.

Less graphics, more gameplay.

It says "Flip me over"

It's folded. You unfold it. It's empty.
You check the back to make sure it's really empty before you turn it back to the front.
The last thing you see is a gun pop out of the paper.

Game Over.
You died.

Take leaflet

No matter what anyone denies: YES. Here's the formula for success in vidya:
>Amazing graphics + bad gameplay + good content = good sales. (most AAA games).
>Amazing graphics + bad gameplay + bad content = flop (Rise, Order 1886).
>Amazing graphics + amazing gameplay + bad content = good sales.
>Amazing graphics + amazing gameplay + amazing content = classic (everyone wants this).
>Bad graphics + amazing gameplay + good content = flop (King of Fighters XIV).
>Bad graphics + bad gameplay + amazing content = flop, but will earn fanboys (Deadly Premonition).
>Bad graphics + amazing gameplay + amazing content = okay sales (some AA games, indies).

As you see, you can't have terrible graphics and AAA sales. No matter what you do, reviewers and gamers will dock points for presentation, but not much for shit gameplay and lack or content if the game looks amazing.

>Open leaflet
It says "Turn me upside down"

What's the difference between gameplay and content, exactly?

Turn leaflet

Yes

No. Look at fortnite. All about content

>Turn leaflet
It asks "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior?"

Why is her chest so big. Not even her tits but fucking chest

>posts a blurry mess emulated with bilinear filtering on

Accept Jesus Christ

Gameplay is how you interact with the game.
Content are the stories that are told in the game.

So for an action rpg type game like skyrim or witcher, gameplay is the combat, content are the quests.

A crazed Mormon wielding a machete walks up behind you and says "Well I guess you won't mind dyin' right here, right now"

No, it's more important how they feel

DON'T READ THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Gameplay is putting down turrets and supplying them to fight off and push back an endlessly spawning purple ooze.

Content is over 400 different maps featuring different scenarios, ooze spawns, terrain, and win-conditions, plus a 30 map campaign and 100 challenge maps you compete against other players for the fastest completion score.

Another example is lockpicking in skyrim is gameplay. Content is when are where locks appear, and how unlocking them allow you to complete your quests in alternate or faster ways, or reward you with something inside.

Oh man, all of my boners. You made me check what this dude has done since CW3, and I just found this.

>Build and equip your own ships piece by piece.
>Gameplay still emergent from a fluid, physics-based enemy you approach how you want.
That first point is something I've been wanting for ages and FTL couldn't help. If I'm misreading this and the ships are all pre-built, I'm gonna be really devastated.

Now I just need to wait for a sale.
