All I play are 2D games with cartoonish graphics so I don't care about any of this "realistic" bullshit anymore. All the modern games I see look like fucking ass and normalfags get HYPE over them anyway.
>bro the graphics are so good!
Nigger it's the same Unreal engine shit you bought 10 years ago.

GTX980 going to tide me over until the heat death of the universe. They stopped making decent fighting games around the time I first purchased it and I have unlimited supply of them from before 2016 that I haven't gotten around to yet. Well those and platformers. Actual platformers.

People are retarded. Great example is the mid-90s console wars over graphics. We spend 20 years building 2D games and finally get a home console that could have provided us decades of amazing 2D graphics and the real arcade experience at home. What does the industry do? It shits out horrible looking 3D shit for the next 20 years. They didn't even bother to give you a proper controller to play them. So you had to suffer through tank controls on your d-pad or buying a controller aftermarket with analog sticks. All the work in progress projects that would have provided us with cartoon/anime level graphics got canceled to shit out horrible looking polygon abominations where every character was comprised of 5 triangles total and the backgrounds were shitty overly compressed jpegs. Wow so immersive.

Modern shit is just the same thing with another gimmick slapped on it. "Realistic graphics" has always been ass. Just watch a fucking movie at that point. I only care about cute anime girls and looney toons-like slapstick animation. Perfection must be sought through 2D. Since 3D is ugly. Who the fuck wants to replicate the 3DPD walking around in our society? If I wanted to be horrified I'd just go outside.
