It's as though they thought to themselves -
''I know, if I make up some crap and say the words polygons and graphics it will sound like I know what I am talking about''
I will say this only once 'Gameplay Makes The Game What It Is, and nothing else'

i'd say the same thing about people who actually believe that the gameplay is the "only" important thing in a game.
its a mix. part graphics part game play. and one side weighs out more then the other depending on the game.
graphics are more then things looking pretty. graphics are responsible for the 3d world in general. many 3d games without advancements in graphics would never have become, because they just went possible in 2d.
games that use their graphics to draw you into the game would completely suck without those graphics.
graphics help gameplay in a lot more areas then just looking pretty.
that doesnt mean you cant like old games. old games are still great. but remember. without updated graphics many of thoes old games never woulda been either because they'd of looked like pong.
and many games would be just as good today without thier super graphics... as noted on PC where people turn down graphics to get an edge on line by running it smoother and quicker......
but it boggles the mind how some people can be so ignorant as to say graphics mean nothing and gameplay is everything. graphics and gameplay are sometimes one in the same.
