bbpolterGAYst (she/her)raytracing rule
GabuThis, but unironically. Games don’t even need such realistic graphics, anyway - I’d much rather play a stylized or even 2d game where the devs focused on mechanics and fun, rather than pretty lights.
Half of the shit that is praised today are basically subpar rendered movies with little gameplay elements.
Might aswell play a visual novel and atleast get a good story instead.
vuranMinecraft, ULTRAKILL, Undertale, Celeste
all of them some of the best games in my opinion, how many use ray tracing? ZERO.
Hollow Knight, Crosscode, Hades, Dead Cells, Signalis, Dusk, Outer Wilds, Underrail, and more are all great examples of relatively modern games that kill it in the graphical department without using anything fancy.
Minecraft shaders look great though
i was talking about unmodded java edition
One. Minecraft has ray tracing.

Jack3GCeleste still has really nice lighting in places, imo, but you are right, it all just comes from good colour choice and artistic skill, not some premade graphics option that they flipped on.
fuck graphics all games should be text-based from now on
$ crawl
Flying SquidZork was the shit.
uisText-based minecraft
Right, but then someone will rebuild Minecraft in text-based Minecraft with a 3D rendering engine displayed through ASCII
Sounds doable. Something like 192x108 characters should work great on software rasterizer. For heavy loads you can use paletted mode of GPU.
Garbage take. Few things are truly needed outside of the game being enjoyable and “good” graphics can absolutely be something contributing to that. For some good is pixel graphics, for others it’s near realism. You don’t get to decide for anyone but you.
Yup. Currently I’m on the indie hype train, but games like The Witcher and Red Dead are also very fun and benefit from good graphics.
Spoken like a true garbage eating normie
