    The thing that really stops me from enjoying a lot of old games I liked back in the day is the abysmal controls. Years of having good controls has ruined my ability to go back to when devs were still trying to figure out the whole 3D thing.

      It’s better if you look at games that are not 3d.

    Fact: PS1 games in an emulator with increased resolution looks super cool

      not only based, but also gay.

      because gay is good, therefore the original point is good.

    What do you mean by “Bad Graphics” ?

  • slazer2au@lemmy.world ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s almost like mechanics trumps graphics.

    See Dwarf Fortress.

      Not really? I would love to play complex game like df or cataclysm with good 3d graphics.

        Check out Going Medieval. Doesn’t have everything DF has, but it’s something.

        DW has good graphics now compared to what it use to have.

      Shitty visual aesthetics has kept me from playing so many games from small devs…I don’t what one or the other, I want both. I would rather play a game with mediocre mechanics and great graphics than one with great mechanics and mediocre graphics.

        everyone is free to play whatever they want, but everyone is also free to call your opinion dumb. which it is.

        I think this kind of attitude means you’re going to miss a lot of fantastic games, honestly. Games offer a lot more than just visuals, and many very pretty games are extremely bad games.

        To each their own, but when I play games I want games that are fun to play. When I want realistic graphics I just go for a walk.

    i’ve got an old version of FCEUX that I boot up all the time to run The Guardian Legend. One day, I’ll do a full run in one sitting. Then, maybe I’ll speedrun. I can dream.

    They’re not bad graphics, they’re good graphics… for their time

    • HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Nahhh, some of them really were bad graphics. Morrowind and Mario Sunshine came out in the same year.

      • AstralPath@lemmy.ca ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The scope of each of those games is so vastly different that I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. The art styles are wildly different too.

        Morrowind is beautiful :(

        Different styles. All Morrowind’s missing is ragdolls and physics.

        Though Oblivion Rosacea is hard to look past…

    There’s a charm to early 3D. Late 2D is a timeless look, but early 3D is unmistakably mid 90s to early 2000s stuff.

    I’ve been running the original Resident Evil trilogy. The graphics age it, of course, but the games are just awesome. Resources are limited. You have to consider what’s worth wasting ammo on. You have to consider if you’ve done enough to justify a save. The puzzles aren’t terribly difficult, but they’re satisfying. And I love a good old fashioned jump scare.

    It’s cute that people think those are low res graphics.

    Sometimes I play old games because of the graphics, not despite them. For nostalgia and the fact that my crappy laptop can handle them.

  • HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I think Final Fantasy IX looks outstanding. That’s fairly old now.

    This feels like making fun of playing unpopular sports despite small crowd sizes.

    I love chunky pixels and great gameplay. I love games that you can get hundreds of hours of fun out of, only take up 1gb of storage, and can run smooth on a dinosaur PC. No DRM, supporting a small team who respect you as a supporter and passionately make a piece of interactive art you get to enjoy the rest of your life.

    The graphics snobs have the worst brain dead takes man. Not being able to enjoy a game just because it ask you to use creativity and imagination to interpret the art that acompanies the interactive experience. But I guess to each their own. I hope they enjoy the 170gb weekly updates for the newest unoptimized reheated game franchise. I hear the newest version of the Ark dinosaur game is doing just great, I’m sure the next assassins creed and cod and whatever Bethesda is making in between skyrim releases will give you a novel and memorable experience.

      Only 1GB. A lot of the good old games fit on a CD and had enough space left to have a full album of red book music!

    Or: people who play new games in this style :) two examples I’ve enjoyed very much are Lorn’s Lure and ULTRAKILL.

      Gotta shout out Parking Garage Rally Circuit, neat little racing game that just came out using this retro style. Like Mario Kart, but just the sweet drift boosting and none of the shell bs lol

    I bought Trackmania United Forever last weekend and it’s kinda interesting because the stadium environment still looks great, most of the rest look ok and some others look pretty bad.
