Graphics peaked with the original Lara Croft and her triangular bosom. It’s been a steady decline since then trying to make things look round. Just accept the triangles.
My entire life when I heard someon say that it would get under my skin. The only ceiling has always been to make it so realistic, we can’t tell the difference.
I was little when the OG Ace Combat game came out on the PS1 right? Polygonal jet engines & everything lol
Until i was like 11, whenever i saw real pictures of actual aircraft that were in the game i thought they were fake because their engines weren’t polygonal enough 🤣🤣🤣
For me it wasn't a video game but adjacent - I saw Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within in 2001 and thought "well, that's it, computer graphics have achieved photorealism and nothing could possibly ever be better."
“Hi, welcome to the midgame checkpoint. To continue, please produce 25 potions that require four different useless items.”
“Oh ho, this enemy is impervious to your broadsword. But if you have that one dagger the orphan boy dropped 26 playing hours ago, then you can throw it in his eye and obtain the Orphan’s Treasure. This unique item will grant a buff that increases gainaxing.”
“Yes, you’re low on health, but you can eat 25 cheese wheels. Save those hundred full life potions for when you really need th-Oh that was the last boss. Good job, you win, and the potions mean nothing.”
Ok, that last one is a reason not to hoard, but it stems from a thousand boss battles where you didn’t have any healing items.
Yes, you’re low on health, but you can eat 25 cheese wheels.
Just once I'd like a game where this actually has consequences. Oh, you ate 25 cheese wheels right before a battle? Now you're nauseated and your stomach is aching. You puke mid battle and your enemy decapitates you, which leading to a spray of blood and vomit in their face so you kinda get the last laugh but you're still dead.
I think Outer Worlds does this, (Well not the whole puking thing lmao) if you eat/drink too much of the same thing you get hit with a debuff or something. You can also develop addictions iirc with certain foods, drugs and alcohol where you get slapped with a debuff if it gets too long since you last consumed ut
That game exists. It’s called “real life”. It’s pay to win and often not all that fun. Plus, the graphics can be hit or miss at times, depending on your hardware.
You eat the giant corpse. You’re having a hard time getting all of it down. Stop eating? y/n
n
You choke over your giant corpse. You die. Do you want your possesions identified? y/n
Or, if you can’t choke to death because you’re wearing an amulet of magical breathing:
You stuff yourself, and then vomit voluminously.
It’s not really the same, because eating doesn’t heal you and you’d usually rather do it when nothing is trying to kill you, although sometimes it can’t be helped.
Every time a piece is about to hit another, the players have to arm wrestle and the winner takes the loser’s piece (if you can’t arm wrestle then you lose automatically).
