Do you like video games with realistic graphics?

[Namefag]

For me it ruins the point of vidya, I like my block games if I wanted to see a realistic world I would go outside. Also on those realistic games I end up turning the graphics to their lowest settings to get better performance anyways

 

[Dagonet]

No, It'll turn my laptop into a fire hazard

 

[catjakker]

realism doesn't matter if it has no soul in it
thats why most ue5 games suck ass even when you ignore visual artifacts and extreme optimization blunders

I find that newer games with realisticerino graphics all use the yellow paint shit on everything because in old games you could tell the assets apart from each other while in newer games everything is blurred and blends in together + the graphics in question haven't changed since 2018 so i'm not really impressed by them anymore.

no it sucks and is unoriginal, instead of showing what amazing irl graphics these companies are able to make, at the cost of their consumers burning their hardware alive, while running their games for 20 minutes on recommended settings, they should invest that energy into the gameplay/story itself and do something creative maybe even simple with the graphics

 

[𓅰𓅪𓃯]

No. Every other stylisation choice both by choice and by hardware restriction won.

No because it turns my 13 year old computer into a nuclear reactor while trying to start one, and either way half of them are just not interesting.

Stylized graphics are better. Realistic graphics will look like complete shit in a couple years while stylized can hold up for decades.

it depends on the game style
Realistic graphics doesn't go well with everything

my opinion changes depending on the game and every game shouldn't have realistic graphics tbh

generally yes but ue5 is atrocious, and unless its a simulation game then graphics usually dont matter aslong as theyre pretty

The only reason I havent played minecraft yet is because the artstyle is shitty and graphics look ugly
It needs to look like this to make me even consider playing it

It's hard to describe, but to me there's an area between "good" graphics and typical 2D pixel graphics that looks like total dogshit. Look at this screenshot of Fallout 3, yes the game isn't supposed to look pretty (especially considering the setting) but it's absolutely hideous.

The models are jagged, the reflections are poor and primitive, and the green tint doesn't help at all.

But here's a screenshot of HL1:



It looks dated, yes, but it's not ugly. The textures are simple to cope with the compression and the models are just high poly enough to provide a basic representation of what they're supposed to be. The lighting isn't trying to be something it's not, it's not overexposed or anything like that.

I'm dummyed though.
