Graphics or Gameplay?

No person would look for visual quality over fun.

Unfortunately, but that's the result of laziness, and we shouldn't be enabling developers to not put in a good amount of time and effort in making their game look good. Yeah, it takes longer, but the end product is of better quality for it. I'm not saying make every game look like Crysis, don't get me wrong, I'm saying that today, the lowest bar for graphical quality from a team of developers should be, at minimum, HL2 Source Engine quality, unless pursuing another art direction out of aesthetic principle and not primarily to save on development time.
Also, I'm not talking about indie developers when I said what I said above, I was strictly speaking of development teams and companies. Indie games will naturally pursue gameplay over graphics, simply due to a lack of resources, which is why you see games like Minecraft, which are building wealth and a team, gradually become more aesthetically pleasing.

That's my point.

Wow yuki being a loving idiot.
Because you completely got the point wrong, I asked what is more important to a game.

Though I'd like to rephrase that as "No intelligent person"

I agree with that statement but some of the wording is off some games can look 'bad' to some people but are still really good in gameplay
or do you mean take into account of when they were developed like the 90s?
in that case at the TIME they were made they were topnotch and fun to play
cause for a second I thought you were meaning a game won't be fun if it looks terrible
also about the above statement no one said you cant have both in the game they only asked 'which do you prefer'
