Graphics and Visual Aesthetics.

[Brytryne]

now many of you have no clue what those two words mean, so I'll give you some examples.

games with high graphics but weak visual aesthetics:
Crysis1&2.

I stopped reading here because all I saw was opinions are stated as facts.
I get your point though. The middle ground is what I prefer, maybe leaning a bit towards the aesthetics in focus.

Neither. I tend to like the games with powerful atmosphere the most. Be it majestic sights or tiny rooms with a crooked clock. Unfortunately that needs at least decent graphics in most cases.

As for aestetics, yea, thats important too but personally cartoony and unrealistic (as in huge heads or sholders and such, can be surreal or ignore some laws of physics though) generally makes me move on or causes a negative reaction.
