--- Quote from: turf on October 16, 2013, 11:10:41 am ---A good example of this is in the twilight days of the NES. Most companies had figured how to squeeze every graphical drop out of that 8-bit machine. Taito said "Eff this. Let's focus on gameplay." Have you played Little Samson? That game is a lot of fun. It's not the best looking game on the NES, but dammit it's fun. Panic Restaurant is the same story. Fun > Pretty --- End quote --- I know right and no i haven't played Little Samson or Panic Restaurant before but i am open to willing to try it and see if i love it as one of my many favorite games too as well and my motherboard of my NES is sadly completely rusted out i either just replace the motherboard or just replace the whole thing i don't know yet what to do with it yet :). |

We play videogames because they're first and foremost, fun experiences. Many games released 20 years ago are still as fun today as they were when we were children, while many modern games focus entirely on making games technical showpieces first and the fun factor seems to be an afterthought. It's why I am still a Nintendo gamer. Their games are far from cutting edge from a technical standpoint, but I had far more fun with games on my Wii than on any other system. While they may lack the mature nature of something like Bioshock or Red Dead Redemption, they're what the core of what games should be. Fun. --- End quote --- starts slow clap... --- End quote --- *joins clap and whistles* |

You guys say "nowadays". Graphics ALWAYS were a big deal in gaming. Even way back in the 2nd generation, Intellivision was already using graphics as their selling point. The NES sold millions based on the fact that it's graphics blew the hell out of the 2nd generation consoles. The 16-bit wars was all about graphics (blast processing, Mode 7, FX chip, etc.). Sony tried to make game publishers make ONLY 3D games for a while on the PS1. And more importantly, the majority of gamers bought into it all. It's not a new issue, it's an always has been around issue. |
