That is also incorrect as fan mods are improving the game and the "square arms" and poor models are mostly a thing of the past. Graphics can be updated and games stand or fall based on their substance, this is a fact.

Mario 3 is still brilliant to play, so is sonic 2, so is FF6-10. FF7 is still considered by many to be the greatest game, and FF6 to others. 12 and 13 can only dream of that kind of accolade no matter how good their graphics.

Graphics are the least important thing. I would rather play Breath of Fire 3 (a great game) 100 times than touch XIII. Pong is still fun to play and so is Galaga. I am not saying Graphics should deliberately be thrown away for the sake of it, I am saying getting a balance is most important and XIII utterly fails with it.

I really don't understand why Graphics are held in such high status for a game.
