Graphics are the most important part of video games and the better the visuals the better the experience.

Unique artstyle> realism

Name ONE video game with good mechanics. You literally can't.
Andrew Perry
Too much visual noise hinders gameplay tho
Nolan Russell
both are essential
Caleb James
That fact that Dwarf Fortress is more complex, more interesting, creates better player experiences and stories, and has more replayability than any modern game ever made not only disproves your assertion, but also demonstrates that you're inbred and also love semen.
Jacob Allen
Roses are red
Sunflowers are long
Your shit's all retarded
And your opinion is wrong
Charles Peterson
No.
Julian Cook
if you genuinely believe this you've never played the game
not one thing about DF is complex, every single part of the game is shallow as fuck or worse (UI)
Lincoln Hernandez
Most of the people playing DF use tilesets that give it non-shit visuals, though. You lose, bye bye.
Christian Peterson
A unique artstyle will not always look good.
Fact is, the better something looks, the more the average person will enjoy his time with the game because if the thing you look at for multiple hours isn't pleasing to your eyes you will lose interest faster.
Logan Foster
not really
Landon James
>not one thing about DF is complex
bait
Matthew Murphy
I could but you would just shit on it because this is Yea Forums
Grayson Howard
The Hunter COTW thread? what map is that?

I believe the game in OPs pic is actually Hunt Showdown.
Logan Bailey
art style > graphical fidelity
Your "realistic" game will look like shit in 2 years.
Chase Russell
I was joking
Alexander Rodriguez
I wouldn't say OP's graphics will look shit, but I think we hit a point where further graphical fidelity holds far less value than it used to. Everything basically past 2010 is more than acceptable by most people's standards. Not to say games further back don't look good, but probably 2010 to 2012 is where we started seeing more and more strides in attempts at rendering realism and lighting effects.

Brandon Jones
oh yeah, but botw will always look amazing? hahahaha
Adam Brooks
BoTW has both shit style and graphics. Your point, you nigger?
Alexander White
Point is that artstyle doesnt mean shit
Ethan Campbell
Aurora 4X points and laughs
Jeremiah Johnson
WOLFENSTEIN. YOUNGBLOOD.
Isaac Price
A game made for autism?
Matthew Nguyen
You just posted a picture of one of the worst offenders.
Kayden Perez
If nothing had eyes, would the universe not exist?
Jace Lopez
The fact that people are idiots doesn't disprove the argument at all. I've never installed a tileset, it's still possibly my favorite game ever, and my complaints are primarily performance based.
Austin Perez
if heaven exists i hope it looks like layton lake district. that place is paradise
Nathan Baker
Graphics without gameplay is an animated film
Gameplay without graphics is /tg/
Video games are necessarily both video and game, and to think either one can carry a lack of the other is like insisting one can walk with only one leg
James Howard
Is this on low settings or does grass really disappear after 100 feet
Chase Thomas
>totally miss the point
>fuck up their only argument
>get upset and post frogs
zoom zoom
Evan Roberts
disappears I think
Benjamin Mitchell
Photorealism is such a fucking meme
Lucas Stewart
better than kiddy cartoony shit or some cheap artsy fartsy stylization
Aaron Flores
>M-m-muh artstyle
>M-m-muh photorealism becomes outdated
Jayden King
Fpbp
Twilight Princess and SOTN come to mind
