That's your choice, your preference, and I forgot how obsessed you are with Halo 2 PC. My apologies.
Now onto Mario, I simply meant content as in textures, not actual gameplay.
And yeah, I love good graphics for a game, but story and gameplay are just as important, and I never said that they weren't.
I don't know why you brought up the 360, since I'm talking about the MCC version, the most recent. And more people are playing CEA on that then on PC and the old xbox. That's clear as day.
Now our opinions and preferences are our own, but if graphics didn't do anything to compliment gameplay, then why have over 15 million different people bought current gen consoles? If they didn't matter, more people would've stuck with games like Halo on the 360, or even on the original xbox. But they didn't. Why? Because while people like good gameplay, they want to play a game with stunning visuals. And old consoles can't offer that.
If graphics didn't matter, then why do remakes have such good sales? Games like Tomb Raider and Last of Us that are story driven games. It's clear that you're in the minority of people, who don't think that graphics matter, when they do just as much as story and gameplay.
Lastly, I don't know why you make it sounds like I think graphics are the only thing that matter in a game.. I think they are about as important as gameplay and story, but nothing above that.
P.S~ It's fun debating with you, since you actually can counter with points, but don't overdo it, since this is just a friendly argument.
Edit~ I feel like this argument doesn't belong here, so mods let us know if you want us to stop.
