Yup, I honestly avoid the hyper-realistic games anyway. The closest I have gotten recently is the Yakuza series, and even that is very clearly a game, even in their high-quality renders. Gameplay is far more important than graphics quality. I don't even care at all about RTX, just give me a fun game with an interesting story, and give the art team a lot of leeway on how to represent that.

I almost never buy games day 1 because they're full of bugs (though they do look pretty), but do you know what game I'm excited to buy day 1? Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It's basically the opposite of the big-budget, hyper-realistic games, and I'm all for it. I expect great gameplay and minimal bugs, and I'm willing to pay a premium for that.

I wish the big studios went back to putting fun first, instead of trying to compete on who can run my PC temps the highest.
