Graphics can be part of the fun. What's so difficult to understand?
Graphics and jiggly physics.
If it's just the tits, it's not physics; it's fetish.
It's the ass as well.
don't forget the dick and balls, I don't
Good graphics are fine, but not at the expense of creativity and fun.
It looks so marketing driven.
We are in decades of video games. Look at very old game and assess how "ugly" they are by today's standard while at their time they were "the best graphics ever seen in history!" or something.
And so, the big question: we were having fun with games decades ago already. If graphics were part of the fun, your brain should explode under the immensely higher level of fun you have on modern games vs 20y old games. And… well…nope. Same as before, just higher expectations.
very well said. I think the last time i got excited about graphics was when Final Fantasy X came out lol. then they kept getting more realistic but never actually became real, they stayed video games. even VR. so... maybe graphics aren't what we need to keep working on
EDIT: *aren't, not are, FUCK. I'm saying no matter how much graphics improve, it's still just a video game, good or bad
Games going for that uncanny valley aesthetic and not being nearly as efficient. I don't want a 1000W PSU just to run my graphics card.
Are you perhaps retarded? Do you not understand that expectations change with current technology? Daily life must be immensely difficult for you
Of course, I don't want my game to look like utter dogshit, and graphics can be apart of the fun, but my biggest concerns with games are how they play and what the story/characters is like (if it's that type of game).
There can be times that I can appreciate more realistic looking games, but honestly it's boring to see so many games try the same style over and over again, especially when it isn't executed well. And if worrying about graphics causes my game to be an unoptimized game with a lackluster story, then I'd rather people just stick with a less detailed style to preserve the the fun (imo) part of games, which is literally everything else.
And the most fun graphics are stylized graphics!
REbirth sure does look better than Fortnite, and REbirth sure does need a ton less of GPU and CPU.
It looks like dog shit, what the fuck are you talking about
