    Just the thumbnail here is seriously funny! But this is all it’s really good for I think: Ridicule.

    Actually using this in games I think is so incredibly unnecessary. Are games bad or limited because of poor graphics? No. Are games better if they have great graphics? Not really.

      Hard agree

      I think this comment would benefit from a clear distinction between graphical fidelity and art style.

      Depends on how you define “great”. I’ve definitely played games before where the art direction and general visual artistry was a huge part of the selling point. But that doesn’t have to be photorealistic - “great graphics” can be something like pixel art majesty (CF: REPLACED).

      That being said, some games are certainly elevated by incredible photorealistic visuals. Borycam has basically built a whole premise on it, and it would certainly be a lesser game without its graphics.
