I love new graphical techniques as well i just don't want it coming at cost of resolution and frame rate and switch is just too weak for the most part to support them with out sacrificing resolution in a big way.

This list also seems very subjective as i really don't see mario wonder and especially mario rpg using any new advanced tech, yet they are on the list. even with luigi mansion 3 they state it's not using the latest tech but it does everything well  or something to that extent. so if a game mario rpg is on the list why is red dead which is techically more impressive a problem for permalite?  

It is a subjective list. It's literally DF's opinions. As for Mario Wonder and Mario RPG, they give explanations for why those are on the list right in the video. I could go and summarize why again like I did for XC3, but I think it would be better for you to look it up yourself and then potentially ask more informed questions about what they might mean if you don't understand. I'd be happy to answer those. Just keep in mind that implementation has nuance, regardless of how the end result looks to you and that DF (and especially John Linneman) are really passionate about how the right tech is used with the right art, not just that the most advanced features are thrown around. That's why they can be more impressed by and positive for something like Mario RPG than Lords of the Fallen (2023). You may not share the same sentiment or value for marriage of art with technology, and that's okay! But recognize that and what that means for your contributions to this thread.

I don't think pemalite has a problem with Red Dead so much as he has a problem with the means by which you've conducted yourself while waving it around in this thread. As we discussed, this thread and the video are about first-party games and about technology and not just what looks good to you. I happily encourage you to make another thread about how RDR looks great. You can even be creative about it and make it about the best looking third-arty games on Switch, or the 7th gen games that you think hold up best to modern standards. I'd absolutely be down to share some of my own opinions in such a thread. This just isn't the right thread for it. 

(FYI - his name doesn't have an 'r' - a lot of people get this confused and it's always funny to see reactions when people realize it after years.)
