The only games I really care about graphical fidelity are racing simulators, and that’s because I’m in VR in a simrig and looking to be as immersed as possible. Even then, frame rate is more important that just about everything else.
I don’t give a toss if you aren’t impressed by graphic quality and fidelity. Elden Ring is a beautiful game and it does impress me. Somehow people will praise the soundtrack of games but it’s still faintly taboo to want high-fidelity, beautiful graphics. I have absolutely zero issue with paying good money to buy a sequel which is giving my similar content to what I’ve already played: improved graphics, tweaked gameplay and a couple of new mechanics, and my friends all joining in on the latest thing are all worth it.
It’s closer to ripping off ARK, but removing all the misery-inducing wastes of time so it’s actually fun to play casually. The Pokémon stuff is there, but 90% of everything else is ARK with the serial numbers filed off.
Call PS3 and Xbox 360-era army slop what you will, but at least it had functional graphics, no noise, no visual bugs, no temporal smear, and most of the time it worked on release.
IMO, most modern games are so bad that Brown Army Slop™ looks good in comparison.

I am currently playing AC:Brotherhood and Nine Sols. Both are amazing in their own right. Ezio Trilogy is quite special.
This seems like the kind of conversation we were having 10-20 years ago. Are we not a bit beyond that now? Over the last few days I played:
And I enjoyed all of them.

ROM hacks are even better…
“Balatro’s fun, but if only the cards were more realistic, it’d be a much better game” said nobody ever
I’m not impressed by ripping off Pokemon and giving them machine guns. \s

Not to mention nickel-and-diming the customer.
