This is going to sound shallow but it’s so hard for me to play rpgs that don’t graphically look good or realistic. The art in that game cheapens it so much for me I can’t really play it.
to each their own I guess. Personally I avoid good graphics. It's not that I actually dislike them, but rather ive found across many games the rpgs and systems designed by small teams, often lone developers, have a lot more quirk and charm that I enjoy. I tend to love and embrace janky gameplay though, so I guess its not for everyone. Some highlights include cataclysm dda, dwarf fortress, rule the waves
That does sound shallow, actually. Once you learn to leave behind the vain realm of sensory experience, then you'll really be able to enjoy quality video games.
It is shallow. Still, I need both of those things to happen together. Gorgeous graphics along with good gameplay and mechanics.
