I wish I could get it through to my dumbass friend. She says that a game must have good graphics or else she won't play it.

Stardew valley? Nope. It's too blocky. Undertale? Nope. Might as well be an NES game.

Your friend is entitled to her own opinion and I somewhat get her. Good graphics are really nice and can add greatly to a game.

While I understand your feelings (I have such a friend myself), if graphics are most important to them, they are perfectly entitled to that opinion! I always interject, that my friend is missing out on great gameplay experiences but it is on them what they like and value most.
