As others have mentioned, for quite a few people graphics are important. It is nice to see graphics evolve and get better over time, but I am in the camp of aesthetics/art style trump graphics.
Just want to requote this again because its funny.Also, OP got called out by Daniel Ahmad hard on Twitter. Talk about backfire.

I love resolution above all other graphical effects

From my experience, even that crowd doesn't care as much about cutting-edge graphics as they claim they do. I've seen the following happen plenty of times - enthusiasts start hyping the latest graphical showcase, the game comes out, they quickly beat it and go back to something that doesn't prioritize graphics like DOTA/CoD/Overwatch/PUBG/etc until the next graphically impressive release, rinse and repeat. They may buy into games that differentiate themselves through amazing graphics but are much more engaged with those that differentiate themselves through gameplay.When we talk about what "gamers" want, we're referring to expectations in the AAA console/PC space. That section of the gaming market probably is more interested in fancy graphics.
Really? All I seem to read on GAF is about how people don't want to play games with "shitty" graphics regardless of how good the game plays. (That is after you get past the 60fps arguments) There are plenty here that prefer gameplay over graphics, but I believe the bigger sentiment is graphics is more important.On gaf its gameplay > graphics. But in reality its graphics > gameplay.
The higher resolution is what makes those effects stand out so much more, still, if they were absent it wouldn't be as impressive even with a 4K resolution.I love resolution above all other graphical effects

Gameplay > Graphics every single time.
A lot of people do judge games' quality by their graphics though.
I think it's the other way round.For the average GAF user, sure.
For the mouth-breather who is shopping at Walmart for fishing bait and diapers and has no idea what frame rate means... it is easier to sell that person a game with "Purdy graffiks" on the screen.
I think it's not that gamers demands high end visual. But in today's highly competitive overcrowded market, having high end graphics is just one of the more sure fire way to grab attention, which could lead to big sales.
So, yeah. Publishers and developers are the one who pushed for this graphics arms race. But, it is also true that graphics sells. So it's not wrong to say that publishers are being pressured to make high end graphics in their attempt to sell the game.
?GAT DAMN!

I'm not so sure about that.I only have one objection. If Horizon ZD 2 came out with the same graphical quality and scope but with improved gameplay, a new world to explore and a new story, I don't think anyone would complain.
I'm not so sure about that.

Another example of a best selling game before this fall tho:The notable best selling games so far are PUBG, and years old Minecraft and GTAV, truly the best graphics 2017 had to offer.
Graphic fidelity is important.
I don't think people would want to play uncharted 4 if it looked like terminator salvation.
Do note that GTAV is a graphically impressive remaster.The notable best selling games so far are PUBG, and years old Minecraft and GTAV, truly the best graphics 2017 had to offer.
Yea people really need to stop sleeping on PUBG's visuals ITT:Do note that GTAV is a graphically impressive remaster.
Also PUBG actually isn't graphically poor just that people turn down settings due to uneven optimization or streaming.

If the game wasn't a WIP people would likely play it with higher settings but due to performance issues they kinda can't. That's a different issue entirely.In response to post about why people not necessarily care about graphics, the counterargument is they like the game so much they lowered down the graphic settings.
