>>56222088>you and your generationWhere the actual fuck do kids get their money? Do you think the kids are responsible for buying these games? No, it's the parents. Shut the fuck up. My generation didn't do shit, it was your generation that was more than happy to toe the line.
It's not the kid's fault that they get fat from McDonalds, anon. Kids haven't experienced the world, they don't know better exists until you show it to them.
>graphicsMY TURN! Do you not read the rest of my fucking posts? Graphics are the least of my concerns. I grew up playing fucking with ROBLOX, Flash games and VBA because I was almost never gifted the games I kept asking for. I never owned a PS3, and while I owned an Xbox 360, I used it for Hydro Thunder Hurricane's demo and playing Minecraft with my family. Neither of these games are particularly graphically impressive, and Minecraft actively flies in the face of your fucking "graphics brainwashing" defense. Hell, I've even advocated for games to stop focusing on photorealism because I think it's a waste of money myself!
Instead of this, I demand three things you keep ignoring.
>a good story with good morals to learn from>to actually improve on the gameplay loop like they used to do for 19 fucking years before the Switch>and to stop fucking with the poor music teamYou know what's funny though, despite all of this? Pokemon Colosseum, a half-cash grab half-patch for a terrible idea, by a fledgling studio on a tiny ass budget. And yet, it STILL looks a load better than modern Pokemon. I'm not even talking about the animations, I'm talking about the models and textures. Hell, even the reused N64 Stadium models look fucking fine comparatively.
>>56221507I worked on a mod once for HoI4. The short answer is that the world does work, but it's like experiencing My Little Pony through Equestria At War(and the workload to make this mod is part of the reason why I stopped working on it.) Good experience but it's not remotely the same thing.
