Being a visual vidya art appreciator is suffering

It's sad
Honestly the first row doesn't look bad, I wouldn't say it's a direct downgrade, just an attempt at different styles, even if the 2nd one is kinda foul it's still just expirimental

Hell, even the 3D ones are attempting something new
But the last one is full blown "yeah we shatted the bed lmao"

MI3 has always been my favorite of all the games but how Guybrush looked always bothered me a little. The environments however are beautiful.

Bottom is vastly better ingame, also the penis leg always looked bad

Not really comparable; both are going for completely different artstyles and Majora's mask never looked even half as cool as the promo art with the heavy black shading anyways

They are absolutely comparable given that the choice of art subject matter is also part of art, BOTW/TOTK go for incredibly boring and generic subject matter and the artstyle is a reflection of that

Monkey Island 3 looks amazing. Comparing it to 1's still images is a difference in style, not in quality

Yes but it's just going to cut up the boring realistic style illustrations, GTA3's poster had cool grungy stylized illustrations to cut up

It's strange how people never seem to complain about anime in that way. Let's take One Piece as an example. The anime has been running for 27 years. Not only did the art style completely change, but everything is worse: the animation, colors, backgrounds, fluidity, combat, etc. You literally have one frame with half of a person's face for minutes where only their mouth moves across the whole screen in modern One Piece. And yet, people still consume and love it, pretending that it's still like the first 200 episodes. It's so cheaply made, but it's still so successful at the mainstream level that it's insane. In video games, you would call it slop. It's strange how this narrative about bad art changes as soon as it's anime.

The problem is that you're focusing on one very dedicated fanbase, /a/ absolutely does shit on modern anime aesthetics in general but going after individual IPs will have you fighting off rabid fanboys

Outside 4chan no one notices that art declined in both games and anime, in fact they think it's better than ever thanks to resolution and framerate increases, SFX/VFX, realistic graphics etc, stuff that has fuck all to do with art
>>
>>729175896
Please post an example of people approving of the idea that modern One Piece sucks. Because I can only find examples of people roasting OP and calling him delusional, saying that he's just being nostalgic.

>>729176107
>framerate increases
How do normies not realize that 7 different real frames from hand-drawn animation are better than 24 fake frames from modern PC slop?

Art styles change, sadly. For me Broken Sword 1 and 2 were absolute peak.
>>
>>729174312
I don't even mind the art style itself that much with its flat, pop-up paper aesthetic. It's just designs themselves that are ABHORENT.

I mean this isn't good, it's ugly as hell

but I still vastly prefer it to the massive push towards photo-realism so many game studios demand.

The original MI2 has the same graphical style as MI1, and it's fucking beautiful
MI3 has a different art style, but it's not bad. I prefer 1 and 2 though.
I haven't played the rest, but yikes

The menu is soulless garbage.
The characters look terrible.
Only some backgrounds make are worth looking at for a bit and then turning back to remake loo.
Your image is not even your own screenshot and instead someone elses image full of jpg artifacts you retarded poser baby.

you are kvetching about gameplay in a thread about art, nigger.

>The menu is soulless garbage.
I like the menu with the icons. Overall the UI is not the best, but the graphical style of the game is still nice.
>The characters look terrible.
I think they're soulful but they're not the best part of the game
>Only some backgrounds make are worth looking at for a bit and then turning back to remake loo.
Yes, the background are great. I absolutely don't care for the remake's art style.
>Your image is not even your own screenshot and instead someone elses image full of jpg artifacts you retarded poser baby.
Yeah calm your tits you ape, I'm glad I was able to find a single one that had the correct fucking aspect ratio. Go and play the game instead of whining

>>729169701
this is the only one in the thread where i like both. amano art is obviously better, but it is hard to live up to that legacy (to the point that i don't think amano himself even lives up to it anymore). image on right is still very beautiful.

everything else in this thread is absolutely depressing.
