@Unfortunately See, I kinda have the same mindset, but just, realistic graphics are kind of a turn-off for me. It makes me feel like the developers are trying too hard to make their game as realistic as possible when they make their game's graphics realistic.
Of course, it's mostly in today's era where I have that problem. Back in the N64 and PSX era, I was perfectly fine with what realistic graphics they could pull off. As previously mentioned, with today's new software and such to use for developing and designing games, I feel like everyone is just taking too much advantage of the better graphics processors to make their games look as realistic as possible. It's uncreative to me.
Zun is just stupoid when it comes to his character graphics. DDC's characters look fine if you ask me, though.
