Graphics are the least important part of a game.The industry

okay

I kind of agree. I played Morrowind, the Oblivion, then Skyrim. Each game noticeably worse just to make way for muh graffix.

While I agree, what are some recent examples of the industry pressuring people? preferably not just casuals acting like it's the only reason one should play Uncharted

I say the industry is pressuring people, but I don't mean that in a direct and pointed sense. It does happen like that sometimes, but not that commonly. Mostly what I mean is just that companies are exerting passive pressure on the consumer to care the most about graphics because they base their own PR near-entirely around them. I don't think this is necessarily even intentional, it's just because doing graphics well isn't hard compared to doing game design, soundtracks, or story well. Those all require varying degrees of real creativity and thought, while having good graphics can be achieved by throwing millions of dollars of mindless grunt work at a project.

Right, I was expecting something like trailers (Skyrim Enhanced) or western game reveals like at E3 which start very slow and people just cheer at the graphics but not much happens in that exhibition, just slowly walking while an NPC keeps barking instructions on a linear path and the player just shows the scenery to the crowd

I also realized it's ironic that even though graphics are pushed as the most important part, games keep getting visual downgrades out the ass (cough ubisoft cough), but I suppose that's better than cut gameplay features

This. Sad but true.
Graphics is how you win casuals

Artstyle is far more important than graphics.
