For example: The Red Version of Pokemon has terrible graphics. And yet, it's a better game than Halo 2 will ever be.

I don't know what "The Red Version" is. A game should always be about having fun, but graphics are a good thing to have. Like Baten Kaitos. The 1st ones movie showed it had great graphics, but they chose crappy pre-rendered backgrounds. Even when they did close-ups, you could never see their eyes. Except in Origins, when they did a really close-up of Wiseman.

There is this story told in Inherit the Wind. There was this rocking horse at the toy store that this kid was crazy about. It was golden with purple spots all over, the most beautiful one he had ever seen, but it was way too expensive. He knew he would never get it. However, on Christmas morning he woke up, and there it was. His mom had been cutting down on groceries and his dad was working extra shifts to afford it. he rushed over to it, sat in it and began to rock--and it fell apart. it was held together with spit and wax. It was all shine, no substance.

A cruel, yet very effective story, Shika.

I can imagine if Jdog read that, he would write the very intelligent post:

did I miss something?

I know I read or heard something like that before. It's sad, but effective. But I would still like a game with good graphics, and some decent camera control. But I've read that a lot of people buy games(or don't buy) games based on graphics. Take WW. Everyone thought we would be getting a game with realistic graphics after Spaceworld 2000, but then we got "Celda". It only sold about 5,000,000 copies.

yet I think it was one of the best, it was a great game.

I never siad it was bad. Anyway, I came to a decision.  8)PS2. I saw a KH2 video, and it convinced me to get it. Plus, the way the next Zelda looks, and me being a .hack lover, I have to get it soon. That, and I'm down to about 173$. I had to pay off a bet I lost. I won't lock this since the topic has changed to something entirely unrelated, and it's fun. ;D

Yes but the graphic lovers are what keep Microsoft and Sony in gaming because the majority of their games are nothing to write home about (sure once in a while they get a great or fantastic game, it took the 360 a year to make a game to compare to the Wii, and still lost most Video Game of the Year awards). But that is what alot of kids go for, they want pixalated breats and blood as it makes them feel worth something. And that is sad because kids today do not know what great games are, at least the Wii shows them what gaming in its greatest age was like but many only get the bastardized versions and have no idea what real gaming is. Now they think they need to see every detail and it needs to be online...those are the kids and people who need friends and get out of their parent's basements.

One of the 360's biggest things is the achievements. it gives the graphic addicts a chance to feel like they accomplished something by sitting in front of the screen playing beautiful yet horrible mass murder games.

Might want to edit your description there Shik because you know how pathetic our mods are (of course except Wyndisis) as they will warn you for anything as long as it does not deal with RULE 4: ABOUT NOT SPAMMING. Because you can spam as much as you want but they do not care, but any other little thing you do they will bust you on...better check your credit report too

because PS3s cost way too much, the limit is $175 or so, PS3s explode, there aren't many good games for it, and it really isn't that much of an improvement over the PS2 besides graphics. and the heavy graphics is what makes it have so many problems.
