I thought Civ3s graphics left a lot to be desired too...I have to say I can take bad graphics as long as they're functional and clean. Sorry to go a little of topic here but everything seems to drift...On the subject of civ games I found them to be a little over rated...the concept didn't seem to work well to me, yet alpha centuri seemed great, and was a good buy when I picked it up second hand. Is there a gameplay difference or is it just me. Mabey I prefer future settings.
Crap graphics = Bad Gameplay.
So, u cant really choose one over the other!
Your going to have to elaborate a bit more on what you mean there buddy because I don't quiet follow. I can't see how bad graphics make the gameplay bad. But thats just my opinion.
zelda doesn't have crap graphics, it has acceptable 2D graphics (unless your talking about the nes one). I think all 16-bit 2D graphics are usually good, 8-bit always looks pretty terrible, and early 3D graphics are the worst. That's bad graphics. Doom, there was a game with bad graphics and pretty basic gameplay, luckly for them it was one of the first games of an upcoming genre, so everyone though it was revolutionary
This is really a simple question. Its got to be gameplay! Whats the point of having an eye popping beautiful game if you absolutely hate the way it plays? The newest tomb raider springs to mind. The game has nice detail, killer graphics, and lara has never looked better. But the controls suck! They absolutely destroyed what was once a fun adventure game. Granted they had to do something cause it was getting boring but not this!!! I can think of many games I really enjoyed that had less than perfect graphics but the gameplay is what makes it interesting and keeps you going for that next level.
