Were games better off with simpler graphics?
The most soulful one is probably the one in the middle.
No.
What ruins gaming is leftists and corporate greed.
Games were better off when it was all about building brand recognition, not short-term profits and marketing campaigns.
Absolutely not.
Games were better when people made them to have fucking fun. Realism doesn’t mean shit if your game isn’t fucking fun
>you'll never live in the time line where at the start of the 7th gen developers focused a lot less on hard graphics/realism and focused on AI and game mechanics while using original art styles to stand out
>Devs make graphics
Are you fucking retarded?
Artists are developpers.
yes, they cost less to develop and could take bigger risks
PS2 was the pinnacle of videogame graphics. Everything that came later was just fluff, we didn't need anything past PS2.
