Good story, thanks for sharing.

Why did you put it back though?

First post here, have been frequenting the site from years, anyways i wanted to write something about this thing some people has about realism and kiddy games or movies (like some of the Batman v Superman threads ).

As some people have pointed out its more of a personal preference, if you just got on the impression that some form of art or expression is superior to other because personal feelings, you will began to judge everything on that medium by some kind of flawed logic.

Does "grown up", "adult", "mature" (often used by some as synonyms) people not have the right to appreciate other that realism or hyperrealism in arts like painting or sculpture? what about films?, i mention this one because in OP opinion, everything should be adult or mature (realistic and dark?), the people shouldn't like pixar animations and its great themes and everything should have gone graphically the route of final fantasy spirits within and others.

Speaking of films, for example Kick-ass its still pretty violent and has a lot of "bad words" and things, then it looks tame in comparison to the comic, which lets be honest doesn't have a realistic illustrations. Since the days of pong some of the greatest games in the world, had "cartoony" graphics first because of the limitations of hardware and then because of a stylistic choice and thats a good thing, because we get a lot of variety just as comic book artist have a lot of styles, the day every game becomes hyper realistic is the day i will no longer play new games.

It's like saying "adult" people should only listen to classical music, because "adult reasons".


P.D. Everyone feel free to correct any mistakes in grammar and else(there may be a lot), english is obviously not my primary language.

What about Team Fortress? Or Overwatch? Or pretty much every point and click game?

Speaking for myself, I enjoy stylized games, and I frankly find the gameplay in many of these "kiddie" games to be more engaging than the gameplay in games like Assassin's Creed.

thats why

I appreciate it! 

The real question is... why hasnt nintendo made a mario sunshine 2?  Then we can all love cartoonish graphics again. 

I find that I don't give a shit what the game looks like as long as I enjoy it. Kiddy looking pokemon, or gory gears of war. I play what I want and I suggest you don't spend to much time worrying or thinking about it.

Did Mario kill one of your relatives or something?

No.

I was like this with Zelda: Wind Waker, i wanted it to be similar to Zelda OOFT & MM, Jak & Daxter is over hyped but i played Ratchet & Clank and it was good also Sly 4 was even better, However i love Mario Kart but understand what u mean.
