The Portal games.
I love suikoden and suikoden 2. I don’t think they’d feel anywhere near the same if the graphics were changed.
Killer7, a very easy choice. That game’s visual style will never fail to hold up for me.
Definitely Minecraft
Halo 3
Came here to say this too. The lighting is better than most games released in the past 5 years.
I would have to say L.A. Noire.
Darkwood
Any game that isn’t trying to go for realistic graphics. Some off the top of my head:
- Braid
- Okami
- Outer Wilds
- Ori and the Blind Forest
Wind waker. The cell shading will always look good.
Yup. Sly Cooper still looks great as well.
That and a new Wing Commander are at the top of my wishlist.
Hi Fi Rush
Valheim, though its more recent, nothing else is quite like it.
How is this getting downvoted? Did you piss off some trogs in a different thread?
Possibly?
I made a dumb joke about guns not being common in the UK (to handle a break out of a flock of now multiplying chickens) … some days ago.
More recently I confronted a very aggressive person insisting that everyone who does not believe in magic does so because they tautalogically (sp?) just define it as impossible… but then they themselves refuse to actually define what they mean by magic, provided ahistorical descriptions of magic and religious persecution, and meandered from different contextual definitions of magic (wonder and whimsy worldview vs real effectual practices vs only effectual in practitioners minds).
But the downvotes on this started days after the first thing and I think 4 to 6 hours after the second thing?
I dunno. My money would be on the magical person, as I have found that tumblr-brained people have a tendency toward delysional magic thinking, and manipulation by both twisting words by flipping and flopping between their different definitions, as well as having multiple alt accounts and/or a small number of highly devoted followers.
But I don’t know.
I suppose I apologize to the Nordic gods for however I brought misfortune upon their realm.
Yeah I looked at your comments and saw that thread, where the person was claiming that computers functioned by spirits being summoned from rocks and other nonsense.
The sheer ridiculousness of it forced me to hop in and take a look, and I sure did get a good laugh out of that. Had to leave my two cents and go. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s that weirdo too.
I mean, for fucks sake, the state is magic? Money is magic? The placebo effect is magic?
This dumbfuck probably thinks the wind is magic.
Edit: also you were close! Tautologically, one ‘o’ off.
Edit 2: if they respond to you again, hit em with the God of the gaps fallacy.
I think I am done with that person.
They are a self admitted antirealist solipsist.
Reality is not a valid concept for them.
Not jokingly, as an insult, but literally.
To this person I suppose that we are all some kind of demonic entities of inner self doubt manifesting to challenge them in their grand, all encompassing existence.
Wow ashlands is great. Surprised this isn’t higher
It’s not higher because it doesn’t “hold up” since it’s not even fully released yet. It’s still in Early Access since 2021.
Wind Waker is probably the go-to answer for this. I think Xcom 2 is a good example too, even though it’s fairly recent.
Wind Waker is definitely my answer whenever this question pops up. It’s one of the few fully-3D games from that era that still holds up moderately well today. A lot of Gamecube games definitely look like Gamecube games when emulated with out-of-the-box settings, but Wind Waker looks like an indie game that could’ve come out last year when emulated.
The Zelda art teams really are masters at their craft.
The art direction at Nintendo in general is really top tier. I was looking looking at their WiiU games not too long ago. I noticed they don’t usually have a lot of complex shapes in their models, they use a surprising amount of flat area, but they jazz them up with extremely well done texturing and shaders.
Honestly, a lot of first party GameCube games have aged incredibly well. Mario Party, Wind Waker, Warioware, Smash, Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion etc. all still look fantastic today, resolution aside.
Terraria
