Yeah, I feel much the same. The Wii was for me the best console of the 7th gen (though I loved 360 and PS3 as well) in spite of being a generation behind in visuals, and many of its best games have aged more gracefully than most PS360 titles. Metroid Prime 3 came out the same year as Mass Effect 1, yet revisiting them now, ME1 (amazing as it was in 2007) is a clunky mess today while MP3 still plays like a dream. Heck, I'd even say Prime 3 looks better now, even if it's less technically demanding, due to both art direction and polish. Back when BOTW and Horizon came out these videos made the rounds; I feel they do an excellent job of demonstrating why BOTW is widely considered the better game in spite of being a generation behind in graphics technology. More power doesn't necessarily make for better games. |
What makes a better game will always be subjective. graphics can diffidently make some people fall in love with game, not me but my friend loves this game and can't stop gushing over forbidden west graphics and how beautiful exploring the world is. personally my favorite games are Bloodborne, and SEKIRO but many don't like them cause they are too challenging. |
Yeah it's always gonna be different strokes for different folks.
I was just expressing my own view; I like beautiful visuals as much as the next guy, but for me, gameplay is king. A game can be utterly gorgeous, but if it's not fun to play, then I'll get bored and quit. On the other hand, I've played plenty of games where the graphics weren't great, but I was having too much fun to care.
