The Gameplay over Graphics ranters don't understand the situation. What they dislike, and I should hope all of us dislike, is how good gameplay is given less importance than graphics in a lot of games. But they confuse that with graphics = bad game. It doesn't, graphics add to a game, they don't make it the gameplay does that.
It also depends on what people mean when they say graphics.
The pro gameplay people tend to mean photo-realism and high-tech wizardry, but call them graphics. Graphics in my mind is the visual design of a game, and it doesn't have to be photo-realistic to be great.
