| azuarc 06/10/19 11:51:32 PM #18: | I can appreciate good graphics, but it seldom if ever makes the decision for me. I know I was interested in Bayonetta after seeing it at a show, but that's the only time I can remember that being an explicit influencing factor in my purchase of a game. The much bigger factor is that going back to old games is hard. I grew up on C64, which routinely had blob graphics, awful artifacts all over the screen, and terrible UI. Going back to that is brutal. NES and SNES games were often very carefully designed to maximize what they had to work with, but the generation after that really wasn't and the PC games of the day weren't always much better. However, I do still laugh at graphic snobs, especially people who insist on high framerate. The average person doesn't see at an effective framerate above 30. What do I need 60 for? That's just taxing the GPU for no reason. Give me a game my machine will play over a game that forces me to upgrade my hardware any day. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline ... Copied to Clipboard! |
