Game graphics are good enough now. Wish they'd start working on gameplay and story again

They’re counting on AI to do the writing. Let me know how that goes.

No. All time, effort and money must be poured into making graphics 0.001% better. This is what gamers demand

Graphics are always good enough "now". In a couple years it will be more obvious how much room for improvement there was, until they're indistinguishable from reality. Which, they definitely are not, and won't be for a long while. But fundamentally, I agree with the point you're trying to make.

And world interactivity. So many games have so many little things to dress up the environment but NOTHING reacts to me being in that environment.

I'd rather have a heavily stylised environment that I can interact with than a photorealistic world that feels like it's made out of styrofoam. Looking at you, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with the 2x2 rocks that should weigh about 30kg each that I keep kicking around like a football.

I totally agree. And just think of how nice it would be to never need to upgrade your PC ever again!

Graphics are easier to advertise with. Show a few screenshots from the game on the box / whatever website you're advertising with, and it shows a lot of work was put into a game... so it's probably good.

I love downloading 80GB updates so CoD 17 can have more pixels on the gun’s magazines

I hear people say this and I don’t get it. Like— they’re not the same roles at all. What is the trade off that you imagine?

preach.
