B. You picked a game out based on looks and not gameplay, why should anyone care what you think?

I'm still pretty sure that aesthetics are still a large part of the game.

Psychologically certain things get imprinted on us. The four main things that get imprinted on us in video games are the aesthetics, the sound-scape, the interaction, and in online games the community. These things create the overall 'feel' of the game and everybody has different opinions on which one of these is the most important.

A good analogy is a car. Picking a game based off of gameplay is tantamount to picking a car because it handles good. Which in itself isn't bad, but if that car has horrible engine noise and is rusted through the paint then not many people are going to care about how you feel about it.

The moral of the story is that this is all very subjective, and using subjective criteria to dismiss somebody's opinion based off of something which is also subjective is sort of douchey.
