For me graphics don't even factor this gen, You have the middle ground were about 95% of games are, they all looks great, then you have a few percent that look above average and that's great too, but it never makes me want the game more. Then you have the final few percent which look below average, but as long as the game is great it's not too bad. I mean look at Halo 3, there's no denying that the graphics aren't what they should've been, but it still got all that praise, and I've just finished playing prototype, that was a hell of a lot of fun even though it was pretty bad looking.bobbetybob
this is true, graphics are becoming less and less of a factor for me in pc gaming. just about everything looks fantastic maxed out - mass effect, fallout 3, bioshock, assassins creed, gta iv, cod 4, cod waw, dead space. the differences are so trivial that its really just a matter of personal preference as to which is best.
occasionally you'll get a game like prototype that is noticably inferior to the rest when maxed but who cares because the game is great fun.
as long as the pursuit of photo realistic graphics doesnt come at the expense of innovation (and the high production costs reduces the number of releases) then ill be happy
