Why do western developers have such a pathetic massive boner

what is wrong with her face

if they're so obsessed with "realism", why that face?

>>376295451
all this shit you're talking about stems from the "video games are art" line of thought

>>376295451
Theres nothing wrong about wanting to be realistic, theyre just dogshit at doing so

It's AAA devs, and it's easier to make something realistic than it is to be creative. That's it. These questions usually have extremely simple answers and you can almost always figure it out by rubbing two neurons together for half a minute.

Yes, because all art must be realistic in style.

Incompetence

>>376295451
Because fantasy stories grounded in realism are more fun than whacky randumb crap.

They are afraid that fun, creative thoughts might lead them to bad thoughts and then sexism/racism.

Kinda like how religious nuts see anything fun as intrinsically sinful.

It depends on the genre.

But military sims and strategy games do benefit from the added realism because these type of games add more immersion.

I don't care how creative your vision is, but if you fucking cant animate properly how a bullet is ejected from the receiver, your military game is fucking trash.

Because maybe people like believable sotures and settings?
For example I would rather see low fantasy than the next generic high fantasy shit.
Also why are weebs always making threads like these most people hate your waifu kawai moeblob shittaste fucking get over it already.

"Realism" is just a buzzword that SJWs use to make ugly female characters on purpose.

it's a lot harder and takes more work to render something realistically. which is why only AAA studios do it.

Because to work in game development you have to goto college, a place that brain washes them.

So is education.

Making games realistic defeats the purpose of games (escaping reality).

>>376295451
They are bankrupt of imagination

>>376301972
not the purpose of games.

>strategy games
Not always, IMO.
Advance Wars has like zero grounding in reality but was great fun.

>>376302121
Then what is it?

>>376302650
Pushing social agendas.

>>376301972
I just want to have fun with a game. "Escaping reality" is a pretty exaggerated way of putting it, I think.

I'd like to think that pic is just a presentation by a student, who then received really fucking poor grades for that bullshit.
