A Graphic Matter

[Beware of Cuccos]

When I play a video game, I want it to look like a video game. If I wanted lifelike graphics, I would go out in the real world more often. I judge games based on how fun they are for me, and I guess "child-like graphics" are just more fun for me. Just to give you an idea about me, my favorite console is the Nintendo 64 (with NES and SNES close behind) and some of my favorite games are Ocarina of Time, A Link To The Past, Banjo-Kazooie, The Sims (PC- 1, 2 and 3) and numerous other brightly colored titles.

What's the point in playing a game with perfect, lifelike graphics if the storyline is crap? I think the new generation of graphics makes all games (and all levels within those games) look the same. Whereas in my type of games, the colors set the mood. Example- OoT graphics- The way the area i'm in is colored, let's me know what i've got coming to me. The bright blue of the water in Lake Hylia, the red and orange tones of Gerudo valley, and the drk, yet at the same time bright green, of the Forest Temple (letting you know while beauiful, it's still dangerous).

When games are too lifelike, it takes that away from me.

I feel like a rambling old woman now. Did any of that make sense?
