Fact: PS1 games in an emulator with increased resolution looks super cool
not only based, but also gay.
because gay is good, therefore the original point is good.
edit: lemmy does not respect formatting 100%. I wanted larger gaps between sections.
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.
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.
so I totally forgot that I commented on this, and was coming in to make a comment about how aesthetic is so much more important than graphical fidelity, then saw that I had already made a quippy comment.
oops.
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.
Yeah! And people who play unpopular sports despite small crowd sizes - what are they, insane?
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.

Where my WAXD gamers at? The Chaos Engine was a fun game, but the controls were a bit weird.
It’s better if you look at games that are not 3d.
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.
That’s understandable.
They were not very good on a technical level at launch, either. I never beat 1 back in the day because I got to a point where it would just crash consistently at the same spot, every time.
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

Old Graphics =/= Bad Graphics

Back and forth, forever.
Sometimes I play old games because of the graphics, not despite them. For nostalgia and the fact that my crappy laptop can handle them.
Bad???
I love chunky pixels and great gameplay. I love games that you can get hundreds of hours of fun out of, only take up 1gb of storage, and can run smooth on a dinosaur PC. No DRM, supporting a small team who respect you as a supporter and passionately make a piece of interactive art you get to enjoy the rest of your life.
The graphics snobs have the worst brain dead takes man. Not being able to enjoy a game just because it ask you to use creativity and imagination to interpret the art that acompanies the interactive experience. But I guess to each their own. Who knows maybe in 20 years when their old favorite games look like shit their tune might change. In the meantime I hope they enjoy the 170gb weekly updates for the newest unoptimized reheated game franchise. I hear the newest version of the Ark dinosaur game is doing just great, I’m sure the next assassins creed and cod and whatever Bethesda is making in between skyrim releases will give you a novel and memorable experience.
I think Final Fantasy IX looks outstanding. That’s fairly old now.
What do you mean by “Bad Graphics” ?
Also me playing a brand new mons hunter game on low graph because they shipped a broken game.
That and Denuvo… but supporting scummy companies is all on you, as a consumer. Don’t give them the money.
It’s almost like mechanics trumps graphics.
See Dwarf Fortress.
Not really? I would love to play complex game like df or cataclysm with good 3d graphics.
DW has good graphics now compared to what it use to have.
Are you trying to tell me that this doesn’t look amazing? Look at those lovely hills and fjords! I think I even see a fox poking it’s head out
Check out Going Medieval. Doesn’t have everything DF has, but it’s something.
It’s low-poly so it’s not that big of a jump, but the 3d camera alone makes it so much easier to play than 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.
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.
everyone is free to play whatever they want, but everyone is also free to call your opinion dumb. which it is.
by that logic xkcd is bad
I think this kind of attitude means you’re going to miss a lot of fantastic games, honestly. Games offer a lot more than just visuals, and many very pretty games are extremely bad games.
Is that PS1 Hagrid?
You can have my Project 1999 when you pry it from my cold, dead, fingers.
