"Graphics do matter. But they should not."
A conundrum. But I agree with the ethics behind it, that graphics--in principle--should not matter. This means that if I do pass on a game because of graphics, I will at least feel guilty. Thus, in a sense, my subconscious acknowledges that I am wrong and I made a poor decision. In all likelihood, I passed on a game I would have enjoyed.
Furthermore, we should consider STYLE, which cannot be classified as good or bad in any technical sense. Subjectivity creeps in. I actually like the way Deception looks. It's fine to my eyes. And, uh, well...more for me, less for you.
