Graphics Troll

A troll who criticizes/mocks the dated graphics of older video games, regardless of whether the gameplay has stood the test of time.

They seem to be oblivious of the fact that due to the rapid emergence of new technology, the cutting edge eye-candy they're jacking off over now will be dated and discarded once the "next big thing" hits the market.

They're also guilty of the greater crime of championing visuals over gameplay - a stance which is killing the integrity of the video game industry.

They can typically be found in Youtube comments sections, posting garbage on gameplay videos of titles 5 - 10+ years old.
Graphics Troll:

"Shogun Total War? Why the hell did IGN give this POS game an 8.5!? The characters are 2D! WTF!??

Look at the ground textures! LOL what resolution is that 1x1!? SUCKAGE

You nerds can knock yourselves out. I'm off to play some COD:WAW NAZI ZOMBIES FTW BITCHHHHHEEESS!!!!!"

graphics whore

In terms of the marketing crap that is called "the console wars" or the "next generation wars" in video game consoles, it is someone that puts down, denies, refutes, and ignores a system solely if the console does not have the graphic and processing power as the other competition.

See: fanboy for other details.
Boy1: "Omg, the Nintendo Wii is so freaking awesome."
Boy2: "It is just the gamecube with a new remote. It is so gimicky. It can't even go beyond 480i!"
Boy1: "You're just a graphics whore."

Graphics Whore

The shame of gaming, the worst kind of gamer, and one that gives other gamers a bad name by hating on a game because the graphics aren't realistic enough for them, when instead, they should be looking for smooth controls, varied moves/abilities, smooth gameplay with few bugs, and above all, fun.
Graphics Whore: I'm going to play my 360 and PS3 because I am awesome.
Me: Well, have fun. I'm going to play SNES, N64, Genesis, and NES.
Graphics Whore: You still play that outdated shit? Man, that shit is stupid and the graphics suck balls!
Me: You know what? Why don't you go fuck yourself with a rusty chainsaw?

Graphics Junkie

A person caring to much about graphics and almost nothing about game play or anything else for that matter.
That person is such a Graphics Junkie that they won't even play the classic Mario and Pacman games.
