All the rage focuses on faces, and yes, some look rough. But nobody is talking about the environments and textures. I think they look incredible. Old games may have been a bad example for them to give. Games built with this in mind from the start? I’ll hold judgement until I see a game built for this from scratch, not a demo of a 15-year-old one.
Just so we are clear… Reddit was the same, likely before your time. But sites like Digg and Reddit were for nerds but over time it brought in other ‘communities’ in a forum type style. Build it and they will come. (also you’re likely too old for that reference too, but its all good) I like the less ‘normy’ experience.
