graphics really don't mean much to me unless it's under certain circumstances
for example, fallout 3
they were trying to present, um, a "realistic" game, so the whole amorphous blobs that they called faces were really off-putting.
comparing that to something like minecraft doesn't really work, because minecraft isn't trying to present something realistically.
sometimes, i'll just like a game for its gameplay and mechanics despite its graphics. that's what it's really all about anyway
anyway i like both as long as it's done right in their own way, and i think that's pretty much the same sentiment everyone here shares lol
that said, if i had to choose, stylized all the way because it gives you more room to work with
