Once upon a time I wanted a strong PC so badly so I could play… Grand Theft Auto IV.

Now, I don’t want anything to do with that franchise. Granted I still do play some AAA stuff, more so PS3 games, and I now want a strong PC for Cyberpunk 2077 to explore its world and give myself extra background for the TTRPG Cyberpunk RED, but other than that I mostly just want indie and retro.

Really I just want one thing. The same thing every gamer wants. To escape to the one place uncorrupted by capitalism.

You should play World of Workcraft for like 40 hours a week.

Maybe you’ll be invited to heroic raids then!

Not mythic, that’s for the 200 hours per week players.

What I wouldn’t give for a true successor to beyond good and evil

I have always liked ODST quite a bit for changing up the formula and being an overall solid game. I might do another run of that soon. :)

Though, I have spent more time playing CE than every other Halo combined. Much of that due to the fact only it and 2 were released for PC until somewhat recently, and Halo 2 got saddled with Games for Windows Live. But, mostly just because CE is damn good.

I’ve been listening to CE’s soundtrack regularly recently. it’s aesthetic and story are just so unique and an amazing thing I’ve never really seen replicated. Not even the sequels manage to nail it’s unique vibe, though they’re amazing in their own ways

Never liked photorealistic games for some reason, my brain’s perception just filters it out past the first few minutes looking at effects.

catfeeder, 6 dni temu

With some modern photo-realistic games I can’t even discern anything on screen: it’s so much detail that my brain becomes overwhelmed :P

The new Doom is literally unplayable for me because of that (and the music).

i do think that cartoon-style games (like this) are more immersive in general.

catfeeder, 5 dni temu

For me immersion depends more on sound design than on visuals.

Infra Arcana, the game that looks like this (screenshot’s not mine):

QMDeXAc7X22YkXt.png

It is among the most immersive horror experiences for me. I still clearly remember walking down a long empty corridor, stumbling upon a door at the end of it, and when I approached the door something behind it started banging - it was so fucking scary!

Well, it does just look like more of that reality, you can find outside. It’s kind of inherently boring.

Mega man is one of my favourite franchises, but man I wish we could get past the side scroller old style and get a modern ratchet and clank style open city mega man. Or a new mega man legends.

I stopped being a graphics whore around the mid PS2 era, mostly because my computer couldn’t run the more realistic games like GTA Vice City 😁

I unironically love seeing newer indies with PS1/N64 style 3D graphics

Yaky, 6 dni temu

I love it too, Dusk being one of my favorites. My only complaints with modern PS1/PSX aesthetic 3D graphics (as I often see on reddit):

• overly exagerrated vertex wobble (the only time i really noticed that was quake 2 animations on a high-res monitor)
• low polygon count, but modern effects (soft shadows, god rays, etc)

Back when 16 bit graphics were cutting edge, we thought they were getting close to photorealistic. It’s crazy seeing screenshots of games that I thought looked amazing at the time.

Kolanaki, 6 dni temu do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

Until it can be actually photo-realistic and cross the uncanny valley, it’s best to just have a stylized aesthetic anyway.

No, you must be angry about “DEI-chins” and “uglified women” instead, then demand that all female characters must be like Eve from Stellar Blade! /j

Partly because games are so inefficient these days that we have no choice. Looking at you, Unity and Unreal

ICastFist, 6 dni temu

Nooooooooo, you’re just envious because you don’t have a RTX 5090 that only costs 15k dollars and needs to generate fake frames at 400*300 to maintain a stable 60FPS

If youre my age, then games were advancing in graphic fidelity at the same rate as getting better and more in depth. Devs were able to learn from eachother on what makes a game great. Then the horse dlc happened, and suddenly devs could only make games that could be chopped up into pieces and sold as an al a carte game instead of the 7 course meals they had been making.

Kolanaki, 6 dni temu (edited 6 dni temu)

And even with that chopped up BS, they’re still not as in-depth as games were just kinda starting to get.

Sabin10, 6 dni temu do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

Ironically, modern pixel graphic games would struggle t to run on the hardware I wanted realistic graphics from.

I’ve been playing the older Ys games. Ys seven and back. These games are great. I didn’t play a single Ys game until last year. No nostalgia for them. Practically no JRPG nostalgia either as I was a Diablo/Baldurs Gate type gamer 20+ years ago. Now I’m eating up all these old JRPG games

salacious_coaster, 6 dni temu (edited 6 dni temu)

I only ever played Ys 3. The ratio of music composition quality to gameplay quality of that one was insane.

network_switch, 6 dni temu

Something about this series where the games seem budget for their era but has great polish. Good music. The stories are fun entertaining adventures. The characters are lovable. Gameplay is fun to me and iove the music. I’m impressed with how the games on PC have ultrawide support. Eventually I’ll get to 8-10 where everyone hypes up 8 as best in series. And all the modern games are easy enough for pretty much anyone to run on cheap hardware. Great series

good graphics have replaced good art direction and style
