What is more important?

Hi guys,

What do you think - graphics or gameplay? What is more important?

For me the most important thing is the gameplay and the overall experience of playing the game. I don`t pay so much attention to the graphics or the sound, but to the gameplay.One of the best gameplays that I have ever seen is COD4.

What do you think?

It is definitely gameplay, but I do like clean graphical interface which can turn me off a lot of older games. Even playing the Baldur's Gate re-release is cringeworthy due to how bad quality it is.

False dilemma. These are not mutually exclusive elements in game design.

Reprace graphics with presentation for that one. Very simple looking games can be really stylish.that is important for me I guess. A fps should look incredible, but that's not needed for a strategy-game per sé, very simple graphics are probably even better then if the artwork is good.
