Quoting: killeri404Why do I even have Windows installed if all nice games are coming?
Because of insecurity maybe?
I ditched windows back in 2001 and never looked back.

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition For Linux & Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Linux Update

Quoting: sevI personally, if I'm being honest, value both. I want good game play, but I really want good graphics and sound too. I'm not saying I won't play a game without these things, but I am biased toward good graphics and sound design, because the reason I play video games is for total immersion. I want to feel like I'm in another world. If a game has no voice actors and 8bit graphics, why am I even bothering playing it on the computer? I might as well just go play a tabletop game at that point.

I am, however, mostly a player of RPG. So maybe that's different for people who play games just for the gaming/puzzle aspect.
I'm an almost strictly RPG player as well and I have found that the immersion I get because of the atmosphere and the gameplay has nothing to do with graphics. Good story can place your mind in a new world. Good graphics cannot. But when I say RPG, I mean RPG. Not just action, hack n slash games with lvl up system like Diablo or Torchlight.
Go try some games like Darklands, Ultima7 and Planescape Torment and I assure you that you will see how meaningless the graphics are.

So you value graphics more than gameplay?
