Disco Elysium what?

I replayed Neverwinter Nights base campaigns again not too long ago. Replayability used to be the standard, and for $20. I’m not paying $60+ for a 30hr game that lacks the compulsion to turn around and start up another play through. Granted, D&D 3.5 character builds are compelling on their own, but I digress.

Civilizations III vs whatever VII was all about.

good graphics have replaced good art direction and style

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

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

network_switch,

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

catfeeder,

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 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.

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