Too much realism can violate moral sense and order. If the game is so real and everytime you blast the pasting out of some poor sap and it looks like reality... how will that affect you? I think developers have a moral obligation to keep games fun and not too realistic.

Everything in the gaming world is much more fun than the real world. Apart from flight sims, most games aren't suppose to be too realistic... fighting, rpgs and that sort.

2d games aren't bad, games like Metal Slug look great and play even better, regardless of the fact that it's 2d.

If Microsoft's official hype machine has taught us anything, it's that gameplay outweighs graphics by a considerable amount.
