Shitty visual aesthetics has kept me from playing so many games from small devs, i don’t want their crappy pixel-graphics bullshit, I played those when I was a kid I don’t need that anymore now that we have the ability to do better…I don’t want one or the other, I want both. I would rather play a game with mediocre mechanics and great graphics than one with great mechanics and mediocre graphics.
I think this kind of attitude means you’re going to miss a lot of fantastic games, honestly. Games offer a lot more than just visuals, and many very pretty games are extremely bad games.
It’s almost like mechanics trumps graphics.
See Dwarf Fortress.
Not really? I would love to play complex game like df or cataclysm with good 3d graphics.
DW has good graphics now compared to what it use to have.
Are you trying to tell me that this doesn’t look amazing? Look at those lovely hills and fjords! I think I even see a fox poking it’s head out
I can hear the guitar melody
Check out Going Medieval. Doesn’t have everything DF has, but it’s something.
It’s low-poly so it’s not that big of a jump, but the 3d camera alone makes it so much easier to play than dwarf fortress.

To each their own, but when I play games I want games that are fun to play. When I want realistic graphics I just go for a walk.

by that logic xkcd is bad
