It's insane how far videogame graphics in my life time have advanced..

Compare the nineties polygonal shapes to this clip of a current game in progress.

Back then, you'd think this was real life. (I do think more retro graphics have a nice charm, so I prefer them.)

it does not matter what level of realism of the game if the game engine, story or style of play is not interesting.

there are a lot of shooters. they are boring.

@fakable Stupid blonde eh? Well you got that part right.

@fakable I care a lot about story, just as much as or even more than anything else actually.

But that's not what my post is about right now.

@fakable @Allelse I was thinking the same thing after reading that comment

@fakable it may not be your genre maybe you like the sims I’m guessing?
@caPnAhab

i'm not interested in games whose base is built on destruction and violence.

try making something constructive, like a sandbox with an open world, the ability to create creative content, an extensive storyline for the game character, and a link to the psychological needs of the users.

it can be done, but no one does it.
@Heavenlywarrior you made me smile

@fakable what you just described for the most part, sounds like Minecraft. Obviously a massively successful game centered around creativity

And appealing to human needs of survival.
@caPnAhab
basically, i want a copy of reality edited to my needs.

they don't do that now, but the current technology makes it possible.

maybe in the future...
