Graphics Vs Playability

[Chilipeppers]

What do you think is most important? In the past I've had a great time playing very basic looking games. Having said that, fancy pics can add a lot to the immersive quality of a game. While bad graphics can be a big turn off, sometimes if you persevere with a 'bad looking' game you often find a gem which is far more fun that anything with massive amounts of special effects. Ultimately I have to say that playability is the most important thing for me.

Playability, of course... there are these games which are just abominable when its visuals we're talking about, but try playing them and try getting off of the game and you'll find yourself basking there in an hour not even trying to get off of the game.

Flash games are a good example.. there are a lot lately that are very addictive, considering their simplicity.

If you have tried the first version of Prince of Persia (which is black and white, only the lights are colored red) and the game was like Mario in which you only need to go to way. But if you have seen the latest version of Prince of Persia, you would be dumping the first version of it.

Graphics really add more enjoyment to the player but playability also important. Games that has high graphics are great to play on PC that has good Video Accelerations. But playability is much preferred when you have a computer that has low graphical ability.
