Yeah, but that's no longer the focus of games. I can complain that FF7 had a better storyline than FF13, but that doesn't matter anymore. Graphics trumps story. Or gameplay. They shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

They should focus on great basic gameplay mechanics and less on cosmetic mechanics...eg. fish swimming away in CoD, Assassin Creed (how you try to not walk into npc, you turn a bit to avoid collision)...while all time classics like megaman have little "cosmetic" mechanics but very basic stuff (jump, shoot, etc) and get a larger fan base due to gameplay and not graphics. Fuck graphics...rather play mediocre graphic game with super gameplay than over stylized graphic game with shitty boring gameplay.
