Random piece of text idk dumping it here 'cause I'm not really sure about a "modern gaming sucks" thread lol:
One of the reasons gaming sucks now is the topic of graphics. Graphics alone weighs around a 60% or higher portion of the rating for most nowadays, with 40% on everything else. Nearly everyone is talking about realism, and the fact that so many only like realistic graphics and consider it "better". There is a big difference between those, not to say that realistic graphics is bad, but it's not the only way to look good. The word "outdated" doesn't go with graphics. I know this is more about modern gamers rather than modern games, but do they not count?

I know this is more about modern gamers rather than modern games, but do they not count? Over the years I have learned that aesthetics trump fidelity. A game that uses a unique art style will hold up better and be more memorable than a game that tries to look as realistic as possible. Just look at Minecraft. It doesn't even try to look realistic but it has managed to become one of the most popular games of all time.

Actually Minecraft might be "the" most popular one, so that one is true in some cases. Although I think it might be because it wasn't "out of date" yet back in 2009, so people played it a lot, and people kept jumping on the bandwagon, and now you have every 9 year old simping for it. Add to that the not-so-high PC requirements. Nearly everywhere I see people talking about games, the word "outdated graphics" is a common thing to hear. Back when I visited discord daily, the Google Play Store review section, the Steam review section(even though I never buy games from there, lol).
