When are they going to realise video games are not about realism?

    You'll have to tell all those obsessed with playing the latest AAA slop in mega-ultra at 531649516782 fps in 4k with ray-tracing so they can see the ultrarealistic explosions. I know a few. The other day at work, one coworker just couldn't understand that I was fine playing a pixel art game on 1080p at 60fps because it looked "ugly as fuck"

    You mean at 30 fps frame-genned to 120 fps that still play like 30 but with more visual artifacts. Because that's what modern hardware gets you and that's what the next three generations of hardware will get you.

    Damn, this is so true though. I didnt even think about that, though it really hits the nail on the head. My favourite games of all time are games like factorio, minecraft, diplomacy is not an option. Who cares about realistic graphics. Give me good gameplay.

    I know some brain damaged people who would disagree, they don't want to touch VR until it's "indistinguishable from reality".

    Consider yourself lucky, that you still enjoy actual gameplay :>
