The mainstream games industry is clamoring for more and more realistic graphics, and here I am playing the original Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, (via Scummvm), a 2D point-and-click adventure game from 1996, and I'm so delighted with its graphics. The comic book art is so charming and colorful. It feels like I'm playing an interactable bande dessinée in the vein of Tintin or Spirou. And honestly I prefer that to anything realistic. Like I already got the real world? So when I play a video game, I would prefer to escape into the world of a comic book like Broken Sword allows me to.

Like just look at these random screenshots i took, this rules.

Seriously why is baldur’s gate 3 200GB I’ll probably get the game at some point in the future cause I know how good it is but I wish I could just get a version of the game with none of the high quality graphics installed in it even if It looked significantly worse because the graphics are absolutely not what I care about the most when playing the game.

I’ve said this before but Ives said it again the entire triple A games industry should go back to making games that have graphics similar to the PS3 and Xbox 360 because video game file size and graphics requirements have made a lot of amazing triple A modern games inaccessible to a lot of people.

I wish more games were economical with their graphics like Rollerdrome. Not only does it look awsome but it was a 5gb file that i could download in the same afternoon i bought it on my shitty internet!

you don’t need a bazillion textures and lighting effects to look good. Stylisation can work too.

I LOVE low poly graphics

Like

There's such a charm to them

I feel like a game can feel super lifeless if it's super realistic
