Lol, funny. To be fair, it is quite obvious when a street is empty versus when crowded. Play Spiderman 2 on PC, you can easily see the difference between 2 NPCs in New York City versus 40 NPCs. I don't think it fair to argue the increase doesn't impact atmosphere. |
It's confirmation bias. You ignore/downplay the things that create internal conflict, and you embellish/overplay the things (regardless of how few) that fortify your life-choices. We're all susceptible, although very few of us are aware of it when it's happening. And even when you make people aware of it, most of them will confirmation-bias that awareness right out of their minds before even considering it (usually by using an ad hominem fallacy toward the person who brought it to their attention). It's a real problem.
For me, I just want to play third party games on whatever platform they run the best on. I have multiple platforms. I don't care which hunk of hardware does that better. I just want the best experience, tech/spec wise. That's all that matters to me.
