I don’t understand what you’re getting at…

I prefer better graphics because it makes the game seem realer and I can play better.

Take burnout for ps2 for instance:

The graphics are horrible. It’s almost impossible to see where you are going at full speed. It may have something to do with the high speed effect combined with the shitty graphics but I’m not sure.

I just know that graphics do help the gameplay. Just think about how the bullet holes (if they make them real enough or do in the future) could tell you which bullet the direction came from. Or footprints, water, bullet shells, etc…all of these factors are part of the graphics engine and affect gameplay.
