Seems like the only thing gamers give a sht now is good graphics, even if the story sucks ass.

Have "good graphics" corrupted the minds of gamers?

There shouldnt be any reason with these budgets we cant have both. FF7 Rebirth is a damn good game. The graphics arent mindblowing but still pretty good and what most games should hope to achieve by todays standards. Reminds me of an old school JRPG. It can be done but like i said all the good ones are old and dying.

100% this.
The focus on making everything bigger and then having ADHD gamers constantly engaged in a gameplay loop to pad the playtime has made gaming worse.
I cant remember the last time a decent open world came out that actually pushes the genre forward. Every single game follows the ubisoft formula more or less to varying degrees.Sig line can't be a novel

Between resolution and HoW MaNy FpS DoEs It GeT!?!?
Yeah, I think it's starting to pigeonhole games into certain stylistic choices. Feels like if you're not going for photorealistic you're going to take a hit on reviews which eats into sales which eats into revenue which means studios get shuddered.
BUT
In the last couple of years you've also gotten:
Sea of Stars
Unicorn Overlord
Immortality
Pentiment
HiFi Rush
Helldivers
Hades
Deaths Door
Tunic
Little Nightmares
Planet of Lana
Etc
So there is still creativity to be found, but I think the AAA tentpole releases are struggling because of it.***Mariah Carey is my 10/10 Crew***

Feels like I'm going against everyone in the thread but here goes. What's wrong with having acceptable AAA graphics for the time we're in? I don't think gamers are pushing for the most AMAZING GRAFFIX EVAR! All people really want is acceptable image quality, acceptable art direction and acceptable performance for the $70-$100 price tag they're paying.
Elden Ring looked objectively worse than what could be done at the time (Demon's Souls Remake) , but people didn't complain about its graphics. Same goes for Baldur's Gate which looked weaker compared graphically.
People are mad at a few recent games because they either have weak graphics for their AAA price tag (Ronin) or have really trash image quality (Rebirth) or horrific performance issues (Dragon's Dogchit).
All people want is something that meets the bare minimums and you'd see far less complaining.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Apex legends has better graphics than alot of games out there.
You say that about "free twitch shooters" as if fortnite isn't at the bleeding edge of technology with the ue5 engine. They use that game to showcase it and it is more advanced than most of what you're playing.

Feels good being enough of a boomer that I literally don’t give two fuks about graphics anymore.
I legit can’t tell the difference and it all looks fantastic so I give no fuks.“Man’s image of the nature of man is not only a matter for objective inquiry; it is and has always been a prime instrument of social and political control. He who moulds that image does so with enormous consequences for the society in which he lives.”

Is this a response to my post? If so you missed the point completely. You're saying you're fine turning graphics down to get the best performance in your sweaty shooter...
Well yes, that's obvious because in those games you don't want crazy heavy graphics and particle effects that bog down performance. The simpler things are to make out and higher frames you get = a competitive advantage.
That's not how people are gonna view a $70 AAA single player game. The expectations are very different so said game is gonna have to deliver in those different areas from your sweaty shooter.
Hope that made sense this time, I can't make it any simpler for you.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
