I like purty pictures. I also like good gameplay. Call me fickle.

I will take game play over graphics every time. I want my boat to act like a submarine much more than I want it to look like one. I do not believe that graphics are essential for "immersion", if I have to think more like a submarine captain then the more likely I am to think that I am a submarine captain. I can easily get immersed in a good radio play and the graphics on the radio are awful.

As much as I hate to admit that I'm hooked on the 'eye candy', the truth is that if it weren't for the awesome feel of being there, I'd still be playing Aces and SH1. There are a lot of other factors involved, such as SH3's ability to start from historic ports, but even those needed help from mods.

Graphics aren't everything, but they are a deciding factor for me in this case.
