Can a games graphics be TOO good?

yeah, because then it means i can't run the game

although somehow i can't run a lot of games that look like shit too, weird.

artstyle matters infinitely more than graphics. i don't think i'm unreasonable in saying I'll rate quake or tf2 over any modern game when it comes to visual appeal

>actually shooting a guy in the stomach, watching his guts spill out, and hearing him scream in agony.
Stop giving me a boner, user

No. Unlike modders, studios can create visually consistent experiences that look good in motion

Quake looks like ass

>and hearing him scream in agony.
so kino when this happens in rising storm 2, last night i shot a guy and heard him groan in agony for like 25 seconds

>model is obviously low poly shit with sharp edges clearly visible, just has hi-res textures + normal mapping/parallax occlusion mapping out the ass
Not impressed

>If they distract from the gameplay
Did your parents punch you in the skull when you were a child?

We're not far from photorealistic games. We will be there in a decade

>he doesn't carve his local trees into smooth perfect cylinders
Lmao @your forest.
