Graphics, or gameplay?
My friend says that Graphics are better. Quote "Graphics are better than gameplay because gameplay would be non-existant without graphics."
I find this only a LITTLE true, Graphics DO help with the gameplay a LITTLE, but still, there are plenty of games with AWESOME gameplay and BAD or MEDIOCRE graphics. (OoT, MM, Warlords, Metroid, StarFox 64, Centipede, Robotron 2084, joust, etc.)
So, what do you think?
Ocarina of Time still has decent graphics. But they were AWESOME when it first came out.
I say gameplay. Graphics aren't that big of a deal for me. I think Super Mario Bros is one of the best games ever, but the graphics really suck. As long as the gameplay is good, I probably like the game.
Gameplay. If I'm having fun in the game, I could care less what it looks like, as long as it doesn't interfere.
gameplay, but a game has to have good enough graphics that I understand what's going on, and when it looks nice, it can make up for sloppy gameplay, but only to a very short extent.
Gameplay. The game could look as realistic as possible, but it wouldn't amount to ANYTHING if the gameplay sucks. That's the most important aspect of any game; being able to play it!

Much like sonic '06.. ::)
Gameplay, easily. The only reason graphics are getting better is to enhance the gameplay.

Probably the best counterexample.
Definitely gameplay. Take the bit Generations series of GBA games for example. They are extremely simple graphics-wise (some of them have next to none) but the gameplay is incredible.
Gameplay, old 8-bit games still rock compared to some good graphics games today.
DDR is just arrows moving upward, and it's fun as heck. Nobody would really care if the graphics were to improve because it wouldn't affect the gameplay at all.
...Even though they did improve from PS1 to 2. >_>
Dude, most of the games you mentioned are old, back then, those graphics kicked ass, OoT: "OMG I'M A 3D LINK AND NOT A PIXLEATED LINK, BEST GRAPHICS EVER! AWSOME!"
Anyway, I think gameplay is more important, otherwise I wouldn't like SA2B because it's old and graphics suck compared to newer Sonic games.
They are both important.
Notice all the games you listed had the best graphics around at the time.
Most games nowadays don't do much unique anyways, so the gameplay is the same. (see: FPS, RPG, etc)
All about gameplay 8)
The graphics could lool like poop for all I ca........

Meh, only the background and dancers, the arrows are still the same.
Except, now we'll have HD Arrows... That probably won't look any better either.
The only thing that was helpful from the PS1 to PS2 was the Framerate.

My friend is the same way,it pisses me off.But I would say gameplay.
Good graphics are good but if its wasted on a game with no good gameplay its gey.
