Rant about game graphics (and gamertards in general)
Tingalz:
Good graphics can really make the game feel better, but it's not something you should hate a game for or put ahead of gameplay.
Captain Crazy:
i prefer aesthetics over graphics
aka: TF2 has cool aesthetics (style) but conservative graphics
COD has cool graphics and absolutely no style at all
IkeTheGeneric:
I feel as though if a game relies too much on environmental effects and glossy designs over gameplay, it's not worth my time.
Same goes for compelling story. While a compelling story is okay, gameplay and story has to go hand-in-hand and not have stronger points unless the strong point is gameplay. I want to play the game, not watch it.
Placid:
i prefer gameplay over graphics like OP, but honestly there's no reason for anyone to bash on both sides.. it's a personal choice.
example of my preference: VVVVVV, which has almost no graphical intensity, is a very fun game despite the "old-fashioned" graphics.

Word games, taboo, where you try to get someone to say something without saying certain words
Others. I am considering trying to develop a 3d dungeon game using only sound with no graphics, but this is a silly far off idea I have thats not on my main todo list
