Actually, the few places where graphics DO matter is in an EV plugin. How many people out there open the plug with res-edit before you play it and look over the graphics? I trash it if the ships look like colored paper. Graphics can make a game fun. I don't touch marathon anymore, (unless a new scenario comes out) regaurdless of how cool the story was. The graphics engine is hindering, on the other side, half-life doesn't have great graphics, but people still like it. Unreal has a nice singleplayer game like marathon, and I still play it. Because the graphics are amazing. That is the only thing (other than ai) is has over marathon, yet I play it. it's the graphics that prevent a game from getting old and boring! Does anyone here still play doom? A few of you might, but almost all of you don't! Because the graphics make it stupid! It has no plot either, so I can't tell you why anyone in their right mind would still play it! Plot may make a game interesting the first time around, but graphics keep it.
