I'm well aware that you never said Nintendo needs to shift focus, though I can see why you'd think that given how I worded my sentence. But my point still stands: You are one of the more prominent examples of a Nintendo fan that cares about graphics. You may not value it above art style, but you do care which is evident by the fact that you refer to Mario Kart 8's graphics as "disappointing". This puts you closer to your own perception of the new average Nintendo fan than the actual average Nintendo fan. |
It would be more acurate to describe myself as PC gamer with a strong love for Sony/Nintendo and just a dash of Halo for good measure :P It's not the value being put on the graphics i don't understand, it's the willing ignorance. I may be disappointed by MK8's graphics, but i accept them for what they are and am please to see Nintendo's art style has transitioned well into HD. It's the willing ignorance of some users that's baffled me :/
Can you imagine if someone claimed MK7 to be both an artistic and graphical power house compared to GT5? I'd agree with them on the style side, but laugh at them about the graphical. In reality that kind of mentality was almost non-existence among Nintendo fans (at least here on VGC anyway), until recently.
I certainly care more about graphics than many Nintendo fans (tis' a curse we PC gamers must live with), but i don't refuse to see past my own biases. Just like how i'm disappointing by MK8's graphics, i was hugely disappointed by Knack (artistically, graphically, performance... Knack was just awful really), and was irritated by Killzone's use of FXAA (whyyy Gorilla? Whyyyy? ;----;).
inFamous is probably the only 8th gen title thus far i haven't had much reason to complain about graphically or artistically. As long i ignore that Delsin is a vampire :p
