    Indeed.

    Graphics will always be less important

    The popularity of various “ugly” games is proof of that

    undertale

    Rimworld

    Dwarf fortress

    Minecraft

    Diablo 2 (not resurrected)

    Probably many many more

      You’d think that everyone thinks that way, but the overwhelming majority of my “normie” friends won’t touch a game if it doesn’t have good photorealistic graphics and animations.

      My dad is one of those people who seems to think minecraft is lame because of the graphics yet says Mario on the NES looks just fine.

        Minecraft is a strange one for me, because it has never caused me that reaction of “this game looks bad/ugly”. I think something like Infiniminer looks ugly, Unturned looks ugly, most Minecraft clones look ugly, a lot of more “realistic” games look ugly, but somehow not Minecraft. I can’t quite put my finger on why I see it as different somehow.
