Graphics vs. Aesthetics

[Narkro555]

This is why things like Minecraft and Yoshi's Island become so popular.

I love Extra Credits so much.  Check out their other videos.  They're great if you're into gaming.

It's also why I loved Tribes: Vengeance.

The graphics are a bit outdated, I agree, but the weapon/attachment/armor selection, and jettisoning through levels via jetpacks, good weapons and campaign made the game for me. I don't understand kids that think graphics make a game.
If you tell someone graphics don't make a game and they reply "yes they do", bitch-slap them and lecture them on why graphics and aesthetics need to fit each other and why they shouldn't even be playing games.
If they still say you're bullstuffting yourself, slap them even harder and lecture them even louder and closer to their ears. Then bitchslap them again.

If they STILL say you're bullstuffting, just say forget it and stab them through the thorax.

I've watched about 3 right now and I'm already in love.

I know how this is. IL-2, a game from 2001, sucks monkey nuts in graphics. But I have SEVERAL times yelled "OH stuff!" at the top of my lungs because I got shot, because it made a VERY loud clanging and pinging noise, along with bullet holes and stuff falling off. That just makes everything awesome and more fun. In fact, all of the IL-2 games do that to me.

This video is telling the COMPLETE truth.

All of this is very true.
And after I watched this I realized why some of the games I have played completely suck even with their high quality graphics.

Same.

Finally, a good way to explain this to my lesser friend who's convinced that graphics are all about a game.

Got this linked on twitter by Kappische.
It's so true i cannot find a flaw.
Well, you see, the first mentioned game in there is a bad example to me.
I mean, it's not i will play that game now. :P

I used to be a graphicscigarette (though not a hardcore one, pixely stuff just "hurt my eyes :S" and I wasn't crazy or flamboyant about it) until I played Minecraft.

Meh. I think nowadays we have more graphiccigarettes because there are more and more people playing Halo or Call of Duty as their first game.

My first game was lemmings :)

Mine might have been street fighter. But probably a pokemon game on my gameboy.

[Lil Robot]

first game was pogeymon
this is also why half-life was so successful.

[popman98]

Mine was probably Mario bros 2

Does anyone think Deadspace has good Aesthetics?

Does anyone think Deadspace has good Aesthetics?

Yes. Very good Aesthetics.

The game is based around horror, and the developers did a great job with it.
I guess the answer is, its good for what it is.
