graphics help in making a game great but graphics alone dont do it sorry to burst your bubble...graphics/story/gameplay/characters/replay value...they are all part of an amazing game. look at something like a bethesda open world rpg or something truly great like demon souls all of those things i just talked about come into play.
@dodos... The dark elf trilogy isnt half as good as the icewind dale trilogy, the city of menzoberanzen is dark and dry and all of the power is held by matriarchs who tend to become annoying because the believe they hold so much power when in truth drizzt would cleave their pathetic heads in two. the captivating story in the crystal shard is where its at...i wouldnt mind sitting under a tree catching some mythril head trout on a relaxing summer day.
if everyone in the USA wasnt so concerned with graphics and less concerned with gameplay and stroy we would have more amazing JRPGs come to our shores. 99 out of 100 american gamers are mindless and i could go into a rant calling them degrading names but i wont. the fact is games like gears of war sell millions of copies with weak stories and games like this would only sell to the few gamers who remember what good games are. If you didnt grow up with a super nintendo or a playstation 1 you probably have never played a decent rpg in your life aside from the PC.
