    It looks so marketing driven.

    We are in decades of video games. Look at very old game and assess how “ugly” they are by today’s standard while at their time they were “the best graphics ever seen in history!” or something.

    And so, the big question: we were having fun with games decades ago already. If graphics were part of the fun, your brain should explode under the immensely higher level of fun you have on modern games vs 20y old games. And… well…nope. Same as before, just higher expectations.

      very well said. I think the last time i got excited about graphics was when Final Fantasy X came out lol. then they kept getting more realistic but never actually became real, they stayed video games. even VR. so… maybe graphics aren’t what we need to keep working on

      EDIT: *aren’t, not are, FUCK. I’m saying no matter how much graphics improve, it’s still just a video game, good or bad

        Games going for that uncanny valley aesthetic and not being nearly as efficient. I don’t want a 1000W PSU just to run my graphics card.

      Are you perhaps retarded? Do you not understand that expectations change with current technology? Daily life must be immensely difficult for you
