Oh, I'm not talking about games like Stardew Valley or Starbound. I'm perfectly fine with the graphics of those games (and SV would be more like 16-bit rather than 8).

I'm mainly talking about those games that, with the excuse of using an 8-bit or retro style, are made by lazy people and have ugly graphics. I'd like to post an example, but I don't remember any now.

I know, but I was letting you know my tastes and what I'm fine with

I think it probably says that you appreciate good graphics, but you care more about the game you're playing.

That and it helps that playing a lot more on the console side than the PC side shows you're perfectly fine with the former than the latter.

 

I've been playing mostly PC only since 2012 and I've noticed a shift in my expectations over the years.

That might have been a valid explanation if I did play a lot more on console than on PC, but if anything, it's PC that sees the most of my gaming time.

In things like that it's always good to not only look up but also look down. The console people who are berating PC people for higher standards are the same that shit on people who enjoy mobile games which are in their mind inferior. That's what most people are missing, perspective in both directions.

It's the same with PC fanboys. With their shitty GTX1060 they try to shit on console people just because they can play all games on 1080p60. Above them are the people who wouldn't even look at anything below 1440p120. Above them are the 4k and 8k people laughing. There are always people with higher or lower standards than you so it's not a good idea to go after anyone for their standards.

Except of course Nintendo fanboys. Their standards are garbage.

I wonder what this says about me - I have a 1070 that can kick my PS4's butt, yet I don't think I've really experienced not finding the PS4's graphics acceptable.

Well, how could you with a shitty 1070:P

Probably still playing 1080p60, pleb.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Yeah, that's why I was talking from recent memory. I remember when you were building your rig at the time.
