As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

2D Pokemon games are really great. I used to play Pokemon firered in a potato mobile phone for hours and hours. even though It didn't have great graphics it was fun. I agree with you that some games can be really good in 2D too. however modern games like COD and GOW has their own place.
