As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

I'm on the same boat. Photorealism only gets you so far, and pixel-art like graphics have their own charm. .

That and it doesn't effect gameplay quality. A fun enough game retains its addictiveness no matter how real the visuals look.
