!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Well, making the graphics look realistic is expensive and time consuming. Modern people have developed a really good eye for spotting imperfections so if you want them to believe what they are seeing is real, it takes years of development and high end computers.
As for GTA 6, I don't know, bloat I guess.
While sure that may be the case, nobody is asking for realistic graphics, people are happy with pixel art games and good looking games, if the story and gameplay is there the graphics are secondary.
Me! And plenty others. Nothing's wrong with pixel games, but sometimes people want strong immersion, and realistic graphics helps a lot.
Did you know that others might enjoy different things? :)
