Honestly I'm surprised anyone these days is actually impressed by graphics. They are not getting much better. Oh wow, higher resolutions and a little more realism. That's it. Big whoop. We saw ultra-realism with FF: Spirits Within years ago. What do real-looking graphics do for a game? We got along fine with 2D sprites back in the day. Why is it that now we can barely handle "bad graphics"?
People these days are too caught up in what their system can do as opposed to how much skill is required in a game. That is what made me stop playing games so much. The fact that games became too easy and relied on repetition or impossible skill. Even Gradius V is garbage in that respect because you have so many lives and continues.
Nearly every game these days is garbage, so even though I support the Wii over the PS3 and 360, I still don't really care for it. I'm just waiting for SSBB and I'm good to go interms of console gaming.
