A Graphic Matter

[Lethal]

When videogames become so graphically amazing, HD, and so sharp it hurts your eyes I will pretty quite buying games like that. I still want a great storyline, characters, and a amazing feel to the game, I want it to amaze me, not graphic wise, but with drama, action, puzzles, whatever the game has to offer.

You have to go back to the Gamecube. Lets pick Super Mario Sunshine. Yes, the game was tacky, underrated, pretty weird to play and the graphics were somewhat in places blocky, pixelised, and ugly. It didnt have the greatest graphics. But the level designs, the music, the characters, you can feel the thought and effort that was put into it. Whenever I beat a Boss Battle, I feel the desperation of Mario, trying to get soo close to Peach. It also their neverending love that also touches my heart.
A more recent game, lets pick Dead Island. Yup, the graphics are pretty great, nice, the textures are decent, in places the graphics are quite horrible, ugly and it glitches alot. But the game maintains fear, scares, desperation, depression, emotions and the graphics. When you walk down streets in Dead Island, you almost feel a stab of fear like you were there yourself. Patches of zombies shambling around, then you turn around and boom, theres a zombie slapping you silly. Videogames need to have emotions in them, just like when someone dies in Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Gears of War, you go: 'NOO!'. But one of your teammates dies in a ultra-realistic game like Battlefield? Pff, no biggie.
