Am I the only one who doesn't really care about graphics? (lemm.ee)

As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

And people wonder why Wind Waker did so well compared to Twilight Princess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As someone else pointed out, that is false.

What IS true is that Wind Waker seems to generally be remembered more fondly than Twilight Princess. Plus it aged much better.

I'm not saying it did better than Twilight Princess, just that they're comparable.

Twilight princess had double the global sales of WW though lol

Possibly because one was on a console that sold "okay", and the other was on one of the biggest-selling systems of all time

Not unlikely. Still means TP was better commercially than WW. I love them both
