You know, I don't want my games to look like shit. However we're at a point that things look pretty realistic allready. seriously, beyond Mario Galaxy who the fuck cares?

Somebody answer this logically for me: Why the fuck do graphics whores have to be able to see every last fucking pore on every fucking visible patch of skin before you're happy? Why do the graphics HAVE TO BE THAT FUCKING GOOD? If graphic whores had their way We'd have development teams working their fucking ASS off for about 3 years working on graphics and then decide to fill it with hour long cutscenes YOU WAN'T TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS?!

A MOTHER FUCKING MOVIE

Time to calm down.. haaahhhhh... happy mole. To this day no one has explained to me WHY. Prove to me there is a reason for it to be high-def, 1080p or whatever the fuck. Prove to me that the game play of the games you love so much (shooters, sports games, racing games, you name it I don't care) will STILL be worth a SHIT if you stripped all that crap away. I see no love of video games in games like this. I see distaste and disrespect of video games in the attempt to make them into movies.

We have reached what many people probably know (or don't know for that matter) as the uncanny valley with certain videogames striving to be not videogames: but movies.

To all the graphics whores: Is this what you really want? 30 hour long movies? This sends Companies into development costs that are so massive that the companies behind these efforts simply can't afford to be original, let alone take the risk. That's ok though, I know how much you looovvveee first person shooters

I live in a photorealistic world. There's no power-ups, no explosive barrels, no cellshaded worlds, no women walking around with breasts larger than her head, I cant speed down the highway as fast as I please, I can't randomly steal cars and I certainly cant blow shit up without reprimand. It's not special. Videogames are an oppurtunity to do what you cant in your regular mundane life and have a shitload of fun while doing it.

For me, the closer video games come to appearing photo realistic, the closer they come to looking like actors in movies, the less interested I am in them.

I don't know why these talented CG animators and Writers waste their time trying to make video games into movies. Just go make movies if that's what you want to do. I just ask that you put an effort into your graphics, but it doesnt have to be the factor that makes or breaks the sucess of videogames.

Don't get me wrong, You know, I don't want my games to look like shit
