Rant about game graphics (and gamertards in general)

So recently, I have been hearng a lot of conversations around where people will call games terrible, without providing a reason. If I ask them why a game is bad, they will either say "because look at it, cod is so much better lol" or "dude, the graphics are gay why do you play that?" , or they will have some other bs reason or an opinion they try to state as a fact.

Who gives two stuffs about graphics? Old games are fun, but too many people put them off because of the graphics. Minecraft, in my opinion, is an amazing game, and it is very fun to play. As an achievement in gaming, it is monolithic. But every time I try to show it to someone, they say that it looks bad "because of the graphics". Who gives two stuffs about graphics? You play games for fun, not graphics. Do you see megarealistic games like "ultra coffee cup simulator 2012" which theoretically could have amazing graphics, wining awards for that reason? I don't think so.

If I made a game about drinking ultra realistic coffee, it would have great graphics, but it wouldn't be fun. Games are for fun, not graphics. Please, if you are going to bash games at all, come up with legitimate reasons first, or just play another game. When making an argument agains a game in general, remember that you are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.

I'm going to stop you right there. In the previous line you just gave examples of people who give a stuff about graphics. People have their own personal taste. Its like the bullstuff Naratologist versus Ludologist debate. Just play the things you like. Theres no reason to go and tell everyone else they are wrong about everything they hold dear in their lives. forget off. Lets have games that look good and bad. With greater variety there is more potential for people to use certain features to make things cool. If every game was they way you like games at this moment, you would get so loving bored so loving quickly.

I am only trying to make the point that amazing graphics don't make an amazing game. That was a rhetorical question intended to question the reliability of graphics as a method of judging how great a gam is.

Game graphics are very important, just not as important as gameplay.
