Graphics vs Gameplay vs Story

[Symphony]

I'm a big fan of indie games, but I'm also very picky about them. That means I really don't mind 16-bit graphics or 2D games, but I'm with Cody. If the graphics COULD do better, even on a low-budget game, I probably won't play it.
For me, if the developer 'couldn't' make presentable graphics, he's not only failing in his game presentation but he probably failed somewhere else in the development. Unless I hear really good comments on the game, I won't touch it.

Another thing that bothers me is the lack of graphic settings. It REALLY annoys me when a company can't be bothered with people with low-specs and don't add ANY sort of tweaking setups. And all I would need is a 'hide shadows', 'disable vsync' and 'lower textures'. Is that a lot to ask? =/
