Do you enjoy games that can make for a good spectacle to watch or just prefer good gameplay?

I enjoy a bit of both.

Just took a break from Rise of the Tomb Kings but I figured I'd share a little of said spectacle from my initial campaigns to conquer the coast of Araby and remove the crusading Bretonnian forces there.

Gameplay over graphics, every time!

@sometimeslonelytoo Absolutely. Though I can certainly appreciate a game that puts in the work to look pretty [i]with[/i] good gameplay.

Of course. I find the technology behind computer graphics fascinating, but wasted if the game is not a pleasure!

@sometimeslonelytoo Indeed. Few things worse than a game that is [i]un[/i]fun.

gameplay is everything

@SW-User Quite true, it's what makes the [i]game[/i] half of a video game. :P

@UndeadPrivateer and I say this as someone who cares about aesthetics a lot

@SW-User Same here. Though good aesthetics [i]plus[/i] good gameplay can make for quite the incredible experience. Only trouble is that graphics often don't age great(with some notable exceptions) while good gameplay is forever.

Homeworld 1 & 2 is a great example of when the two work perfectly and each improves the other, imo. Even aged very gracefully, though now we also have Remastered.
