Graphics whore

Basically someone who likes the video game for the graphics, not the gameplay. Usually refuses to play older games on any console besides Newer-generation consoles.

Johnny: Hey, George, do you wanna play some Grand Theft Auto: Vice city?

Johnny: Yeah but, Vice city kicks 4's ass.

George: YES BUT THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER

basement graphics

Used to describe horrible videogame graphics made by someone living in their basement and developing the game by themself.

Person 1: That new indie game has such basement graphics.
Person 2: Yes, I heard he made it by himself in his basement.

tighten up the graphics

1) To work at an introductory-level tech position.
2) To attempt a feat without knowledge of how it can be done.

Phrase originates from a Westwood College commercial, in which two young videogame designers, dressed in 70s attire, report to their boss that they are "almost done with level 3, and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

1) "Once I move back to Arlington I'm gonna tighten up the graphics for Adobe Systems."

2) "I'm almost done with my quadratics homework, I just need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

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Graphics Whore: You still play that outdated shit?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.
