Gameplay Vs Graphics
We all know that an ideal game would include both amazing graphics and in depth, interesting gameplay but which is most important to you? For me gameplay that keeps me interested comes first. I don't ...

I would rather have less "sophisticated" graphics if it means far better gameplay. I should not have to use mods for simple gameplay. It would be one thing if I was using a mod to make my sim Superman or a mutant from The X Men or add in occults that the community is divided on. (Which I do use for kids to use magic and added occults for gameplay options) but I mostly use them to add social interactions (that still are in the T rating), for my sims to react to things like cheating realistically for gameplay, better autonomy, better traits etc.
It's not like the devs are spending days on making models, rigging, parenting this to that. There are plenty of places to get stock models and stock animation to cut down on time which means cutting costs all around. I love and can appreciate good graphics but if a game has great gameplay I don't mind poorer graphics. Unfortunately, EA has a nasty habit of buying successful gaming companies and destroying that game. Instead of just acting as a publishing company which is what they should simply do, they have to try to make games. They fail at this. Let gaming companies make incredible games with a decent time to make them. I wouldn't ask the CEO at Random House to write a mindblowing novel because they run a publishing company and they aren't an author. Why does EA insist that they should make games when all they should do is simply publish them?
