Whats the point of realistic high-end graphics in videogames? Even from jewish perspective it makes zero sense
>cost insane amounts of money and effort
>large portion of people with weak systems is cut off from your game
>actual gameplay has to be sacrificed
>years of development
>meanwhile normies don't really care and shit like Hotline Miami, Minecraft, and Nintendo games print money
Are AAA-devs retarded?

Because the majority of "gamers" don't care about gameplay but about graphics.

>actual gameplay has to be sacrificed
But Crysis is easily one, if not the, best modern FPS

>why wasting time on pretty icing for cakes?

I love brownies precisely because they are a no-bullshit type of pastry. It looks like a turd brick, but tastes fantastic

Explain World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2 and other games with horribly outdated graphics that top the charts for years?
The most profitable game in a world is Clash of Clans for fucks sake

Because every chad and moron needs high def at minimum these days. They should go back to producing games with Gamecube graphics, still would look good and production time would be reduced.

Not to mention that even with modern graphics, human characters are still uncanny valley as fuck and not real looking.

Go to steamspy.com and check out the numbers for stuff like Terraria, MnB:Warband, Undertale, Civ V, L4D2, etc..

Tons of low to mid-graphics games, released relatively recently in many cases, with millions of owners. Stuff like FF15 on the other hand needs 10 million buyers just to succeed in the first place.

There's diminishing returns when it comes to graphics. Not even dudebros care about it that much, only /v/ and Neogaf really jerks off to it.

Any serious sam game blow it out of the water

> Gamecube graphics

that shit is bad, worse than 2d pixelshit that indies churn out these days.

They're guaranteed profit, while games like Minecraft are gambles.
