The thing that really stops me from enjoying a lot of old games I liked back in the day is the abysmal controls. Years of having good controls has ruined my ability to go back to when devs were still trying to figure out the whole 3D thing.
Yeah I tried going back to play the witcher 1 and 2 after finishing 3. I just could not get into 1 at all and 2 had some wack as well with where you could go. I could not even beat the first boss.
They’re not bad graphics, they’re good graphics… for their time
Nahhh, some of them really were bad graphics. Morrowind and Mario Sunshine came out in the same year.
The scope of each of those games is so vastly different that I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. The art styles are wildly different too.
Morrowind is beautiful :(
I also frequently lie to myself.
The world of Morrowind, in aggregate, is beautiful and sometimes genuinely breathtaking.
Individual models may look like deep fried asshole, but they come together to form an aesthetic that I personally like quite a lot.
It’s almost like mechanics trumps graphics.
See Dwarf Fortress.
Shitty visual aesthetics has kept me from playing so many games from small devs, i don’t want their crappy pixel-graphics bullshit, I played those when I was a kid I don’t need that anymore now that we have the ability to do better…I don’t want one or the other, I want both. I would rather play a game with mediocre mechanics and great graphics than one with great mechanics and mediocre graphics.
everyone is free to play whatever they want, but everyone is also free to call your opinion dumb. which it is.
To each their own, but when I play games I want games that are fun to play. When I want realistic graphics I just go for a walk.
Not really? I would love to play complex game like df or cataclysm with good 3d graphics.
New games look like realistic pencil drawings that were smudged to shit.
I literally have Elden Ring screenshots on my PS4 that look worse than Super Mario 64 screenshots.
It’s like modern games all have a screen shader at the end specifically to fuck up the graphics and blur details. I know it’s TAA and friends but damn. It feels weird that so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots. And people call them good looking games lol
I think Final Fantasy IX looks outstanding. That’s fairly old now.
What do you mean by “Bad Graphics” ?
Fact: PS1 games in an emulator with increased resolution looks super cool
There’s a charm to early 3D. Late 2D is a timeless look, but early 3D is unmistakably mid 90s to early 2000s stuff.
I’ve been running the original Resident Evil trilogy. The graphics age it, of course, but the games are just awesome. Resources are limited. You have to consider what’s worth wasting ammo on. You have to consider if you’ve done enough to justify a save. The puzzles aren’t terribly difficult, but they’re satisfying. And I love a good old fashioned jump scare.
Old Graphics =/= Bad Graphics
It’s cute that people think those are low res graphics.
It’s cute that people think the games they are playing have good graphics
It’s cute that people think
It’s cute
Is that PS1 Hagrid?
