It really doesn't matter how bad a games looks but when the gameplay is addictive and fun then I would go with that.

Even if a game looks amazing but you get bored and irritated after like 2 mins then you could just go outside and enjoy the "real world graphic".

In my mind gameplay > graphics*2000000

Definitely gameplay. A game could look absolutely amazing, but that doesn't make it fun to play. Some of my favorite games on this site have pixely graphics.

who cares about graphics? mario in 2D is just as good as it is in 3D.

I want both in my games. Fun to play, and you can tell what it is. Iam a sucker for NES games, but good graphics also means alot to me.

Gameplay is the way to go.. I see no argument here. If you want an argument, why not ask... New games or Old Games?
Definitely old games...

True. I'm playing Heroes IV now. Nothing can beat old classics.
But still new games got both, usually. After all those are called "video games" so visual sensations are important.
I remember playing Metal Gear Solid on Sony 1 when I was a kid and I know that I was fascinated with that game because it had great gameplay. Seeing it now looking all squary and pointy after I played a lot of games with more advanced graphics makes it unplayable because it's so ugly.

Gameplay. No contest. If there is a game with very addictive gameplay, but not so good graphics, and a game with very poor gameplay, but awesome graphics which would you pick? I could play a game with good gameplay for weeks, but games with poor gameplay for only days.
