People keep saying that realism is what's ruining games and movie adaptations but does it really? I get it, "realistic" graphics can look bad and can tank the performance. I understand that many realistic AAA games are generic open-world over-the-shoulder action games (or CoD). I understand that Disney remakes and Netflix adaptations are hot garbage. But I feel like it's a problem of overblown budgets, bad art design, bad development tools/cinematography, pandering to mainstream audiences and just plain incompetence rather than an inherent flaw of realism. AA games are doing just fine with realistic graphics, you just need to know what you're doing. Honestly, this sentiment feels like the opposite of "realism good, animation bad" and is just as insufferable. Instead of critiquing actual bad practices of the AAA industry and its sheer capitalist greed we overfocus on arbitrary shit of whether a character looks realistic or not. Who cares?
>Devil May Cry V was fire
>Grand Theft Auto V was fire
>One Piece was fire
>How to Train Your Dragon was fire
>Helldivers 2 was fire
A good work of art is a good work of art regardless of its artstyle, no?

What are your thoughts?

Speak da truth, bougie!

It feels like Twitter is trying to gaslight everyone into thinking we're in the wrong. I constantly see statements like:
>Modern gaming sucks
>Realistic graphics suck
>Cartoony games are for babies and soyboys
>Wokeness isn't real
>The anti-woke crowd hates women/minorities
>Female/black/gay/fat/disabled protagonists are woke
>Uglyfication of women isn't real
>"Uglyfication of women" is a misogynist talking point
>Women ruined video games
>Concord's character designs are great
>Fanservice is sexist
>Woman who look like porn actresses is peak character design

I think art direction is fine if everything about the game isn't how it looks or if it looks real. As long as the game experience is preserved and it goes along well with the graphics then I see no problems.

Same for movies. I agree, the extra rollercoaster themepark they get going for movies, especially hero and thriller movies isn't good. The CGI gets so ridiculous it isn't fun.

It is nothing like a good 1960's epic, with rising skeletons and sword fights. There is charm on the techniques used back then.

There is no charm in AI or extra CGI for lasers, robots or helicopters. I think the presentation and goal of those movies need to be rethought.

Realism has always been the enemy of good game design.  From FPSs to Euroshmups to strategy games and more, every time a developer has considered a creative level design, a risk-reward dynamic, a mechanic rebalancing, a fair challenge, etc., only to reject it by uttering "oh, but that's not realistic".  These have always been cases of tragic incompetence.

cyberleek was probably an insider doing damage control to ready the plebs for how little they changed in the game besides graphics.

I hope this is real because fuck the corporations but I don't feel like downloading more viruses on my windows partition and tbqh I don't care enough about this game to uninstall other games to make room on my ssd, just to run this at 480p on my pc.

I hope someone confirms it though. Screenshotting that page in case it gets taken down.

PC gaming sucks now. It's all Denuvo cancer, buggy ports, shitty optimization and overpriced hardware. The corpos show no respect or care towards PC gamers and everyone just goes along with it. Don't get me wrong, I love PC gaming, it has clear advantages. But over the years it's harder and harder for me to recommend it over just buying a console.

Fuck NVidia and Denuvo for making PC gaming worse and fuck Valve for allowing this shit to happen. I can't even stand Gabe Newell anymore, it's all his fault. Allowing Denuvo to poison games, caving in to Nintendo and payment processes' censorship demands. This whole monopoly on PC gaming led to predictable results.

I could barely afford 8GB of RAM and that was already enough for comfortable AAA gaming. Now even that isn't enough. Despite the fact that a 2015 game still looks better than 90% of what AAA studios put out nowadays.

I actually think PC gaming has improved a bit in the past ten years or so. After the indie hack scene matured a bit from the garbage it peddled in the '10s, after the most cancerous graphics whores like John Carmack and the Crytek people faded from relevance, and of course as cryptotards and AIscammers bid up the price of basic computer hardware, we're finally getting some decent games by smalltime developers that are concerned with solid game design over pretentious graphics power-rig pandering and nickel and diming. I don't pay any attention to what's going on in the Windows/Steam DRMsphere, but I've been appreciating that there's a lot more DRM-free games with Linux ports these days.

If what they showed in the GTA VI trailers is indeed running on PS5 hardware, I'd say that's very impressive. You're basically getting cut-scene quality graphics on a 6 year old machine.

>I can't even stand Gabe Newell anymore
They literally invented micro-transactions and lootboxes. And steam is just DRM. They've always been evil, they just do it with as little friction as possible.

Also their new steam machine is weak as shit for 1500$ wtf.

Let's recommend, talk and post apks modded or unmodded about those games new or old that you'd play while waiting in the airport.

I loved Temple Run 2 and Angry Birds Star Wars so much

Where do you guys find old apks of games before they became too iap hungry or online

If you guys are into gaming beyond just mobile, you can actually play full Nintendo Switch games on Android using Yuzu Emulator — no console needed, completely free. Games like Mario Kart 8, Zelda, Pokemon all work great. Setup takes about 15 minutes if you follow a proper guide. I found the easiest step by step tutorial at https://playwithyuzu.com — covers everything from installation to fixing common errors.

It's DEFINITELY because the creators came out as trans. I'd even go further and claim that the Wachowskis' claim that it was always about being trans is dubious because they said it AFTER being trans became trendy. Not saying their identities are illegitimate (Lilly came out as trans in 2008) but they were also saying that they certainly absolutely definitely will NOT make a new sequel… And they've made a new sequel.

Is this a thing? I constantly see wokescolds saying that wokeness isn't real and that anyone who criticizes it is just a bigot, and it sounds like shifting the blame instead of some kind of a well-thought out argument. I'm immune to this but many other progressives aren't so they reproduce this attitude like… well, a mind virus.

I recently saw someone post about the ABOMELOK0408 game that was from the dark web around 2024, I don't know if people are still talking about it or looking for it; If someone previously downloaded that game is unknown. But the person that made the iceberg was some reddit user, I assume they are seeking information about it, what I know about ABOMELOK0408 is that it was made with Godot Engine and it was made by a Snapchat user that distributed it! It contains a lot of viruses, The creator gives her Snapchat name and QR code if you search carefully, She does this for people to ask her questions about it if they have any. She admitted to making the game again you can find that in search results, I highlighted ABOMELOK0408 in yellow, one reddit user asked what it was about and the creator of the iceberg said there's not a lot of information; I know this game was distributed on the TOR network but I didn't bother to download it.

A cybersecurity site had a playback monitor for the notepad file the game comes with and I have a screenshot.
This is from the site tria.ge I tried to see if the original SHA256 has been scanned but it's not on there. 5e80d8bdc954451fbe5c09d15a059e1fb4307d596a36e72f76479c83de25848e Is the original SHA256 for ABOMELOK0408. You can scan on VirusTotal by just typing in the sha256 without downloading anything. But that hash isn't on tria.ge also the notepad file doesn't change foe each SHA256. So there's probably been clones floating around or something but I found access to the notepad file without downloading the game.

If anyone is investigating or making icebergs, View the game on a VM if you want to investigate and try use a decompiler in the investigating part. The pastebin link for it is the original game, but I would still be careful of this stuff. But I'm not touching that.
