    Who asked for these games to look photo real, I used to like GTA back in the San Andreas and Vice City days. I hated the look of GTA 5 and didn’t even finish it, the older games had cartoon graphics and lots of charm, these new ones suck

      Everyone who isn’t being pedantic and ignoring the vast majority and economic data and sales that led us to giant graphically intensive open worlds rpg and action games.

      You don’t like that shit, good for you. But pretending the demand isn’t there is head in sand dumb.

        Graphics peaked for me in the 360 era. Bioshock Infinite is probably the best that graphics ever needed to get. Focus on frame rate and shit, I guess, but I don’t need my mud brown shooters to look any more hyper realistic than they did in 2013.

        As much as I like this platform, there’s a lot of this kind of thinking on here. People with niche opinions acting like they’re a worldwide fact.

        I don’t care about hyper real graphics either, but many, many, many people care about it a lot. The reality is indie games are quite niche compared to larger games even during this time of increasing spotlight on them. Hopefully that will continue to shift but we aren’t there yet.
