My view on game graphics.

Shinji:
Now, I know, graphics don't make up a game.

But they DO make the game more fun on some levels.

You see, graphics add to the atmosphere. They give you something to look at, eye candy basically. You see, here's an example, GTA IV. Everything is brown and stuff, and it's all depressing. This decreases the fun of the game, making it more boring to look at and such (atleast for me, cause I play on a console and there's nothing much to do here). Saints Row 2, however, has a more "happy" look to the game, even if that graphics aren't all that great. You see, the contrast and the shade of the colors makes it seem more fun. This is just my view, however. Discuss.

Exactly, like:

They're both basically the same, but ArmA 2 looks better overall. I find it more fun.
Captain Crazy:
Even though I had a blast with GTA IV, I agree. Good graphics make the experience more engaging, fun, and interesting. It's possible to go overboard with graphics, though.
