Do people play low poly games because they're low poly or despite them being low poly
it's because they're mentally ill transvestites
I play games that are fun. Graphics are secondary to that. If a low poly game is fun, then it's good. If a low poly game is shit, then it's shit.If you play games because of graphics you are gay.
>>745949871>video game thread>thinks about mentally ill transvestitesSounds like the call is coming from inside the house
Because it's good. Been trying to finish gtav so I can pirate 6 but I just started replaying gta3 and it felt amazing. The story is also way better
>>745949815I play fun games. I know some tards don't like fake retro but if it's fun and the chicks are maybe even hot, I'm all up for it.
>>745949913Damn bro we're all anonymous here no need to be a poser
>>745950049No argument because I'm right.
Despite, I don't give a fuck about graphics.
>>745949815emulated a load of PS1 games recently, Tenchu, Shadow Tower, Silent Hill, Medal of Honor, ODT and a few more, was playing them to study their environments and stuff dropped all of them usually after an hour because they're not terribly fun, even if a lot of them looked nice on the more recent side, Dusk looks like shit and far worse than any of those games, but I beat it because it's funlow poly might be an aesthetic pull but most of all I'd say people care about fun. nobody tends to play games they think aren't fun
>>745950606low poly was a limitation of the time, learning it now would be like painting the Mona Lisa with your feet... pretty based tho
retro games are time capsules. i play them the way they are to re-experience the way i played them back in the day.remakes and remasters completely miss the pointit's like reheated microwave leftovers
Good low poly is a draw but can't save a bad game
>>745949815It's not necessarily low poly that is important to me. I wouldn't call Half Life 2 low poly by any stretch (though it is by modern standards).I just like clean visuals and simple, sharp textures.Everything after ~2006 has way too much post processing and temporal effects that it ruins the image quality.A bit of bloom is okay but they just slather that shit on nowadays and combined with chromatic aberration, TAA, raytracing, film grain, etc, etc and it just looks terrible.
>>745949913A game can be more fun because of its visuals, stop being an obstinate retard
>>745949815Games should go back to looking like this instead of spending $500m and 5 years in development.
>>745952005I want both.I want them to go back to looking like this but also spend 5 years in development so they can add a shit ton of mechanics and content.Imagine an ImSim like Deus Ex but it's a simulation of an entire city instead of just tiny hubs.
>>745949815I played them back when the term "low-poly" didn't exist and that was just what 3D games looked like. I would never play a modern game that intentionally looked like this.
>>745949815I play weird games in the hopes that it makes me appear sophisticated or interesting. I tell myself I'm scoring points internally as a true art appreciator in a sea of people who "don't get it"
>>745952532Based "The Lantern of the Laughless Saint" enjoyer
>>745952241You do not like video games
>>745949815I want 6th gen aesthetics. PS1 games are ugly
>>7459531816th gen aesthetics are a weird gray area. relatively high poly, very low res textures but not low enough that you can really do pixel art. you might as well just make a half life 2 mod at a certain point.
>>745949815As long as the game is good, I don’t care
It's a fun novelty. seeing how well people can ripoff an old style. you don't need to make a cynical manifesto about it.
Only if done properly
>>745953638imma kill you
>>745951989It can but I feel like there's definitely diminishing returns and we've long since passed the point that better graphics don't really increase the enjoyment of a game and if anything the push for photo realism and ray tracing and dogshit unreal engine 5 performance has actually made many games LESS fun than if they were visually equivalent to some 2015 games that ran fine on an Xbox One/PS4. Most games don't need to be more graphically impressive than The Witcher 3 or Destiny 1, both games that released more than a decade ago. Many modern games are actually significantly uglier than those two despite being 100+ gigabytes more of storage and repairing 10x as much graphical processing power on your GPU.I would rather more games have ten year old visuals but run at 200 FPS with no fake AI frames needed and without needing a $5,000 GPU than to get a 5090 and still need DLSS to get above 50 FPS.
>>745949815>"Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided."low poly is cool. it and pixel art are the visual signature of the medium, I think, like how black and white registers as filmic
I feel like we still haven't had a defining low poly indie game the way we have lots of defining pixel art indie games
>>745950606I absolutely adore Front Mission 3, do you recommend any other in the series or is 3 simply the best one?
>>745955353the only remastermake that's actually needed
