i say they are both equal

because after having been spoiled by great graphics combined with great gameplay in many modern games, i am now accustomed to having great graphics

due to constant exposure to great graphics, it has become an expected norm for me.

hence if i play a game with bad graphics, then i am constantly thinking: "wow, these are some really bad graphics!" i am always mentally comparing the environments in a game with obsolete graphics to the environments of all the games i've played that have great graphics. hence i cannot enjoy the gameplay of a game with bad graphics, no matter how great

the exceptions to this for me are games that i grew up with. i can still enjoy those because they are part of my soul and remind me of good times in my childhood.
