Thought this was a reupload for a sec 😅
-
Perfect companion piece to the Graphics over Gameplay. Thanks Jake and crew.
-
I went back to Dragon Age Origins after finishing Baldur's Gate 3. Even with outdated graphics it's still one of the best RPGs out there.
-
If you were born in the 1970s, all of these games look like photorealistic unimaginable witchcraft we could have only dreamed of whilst playing Arkanoid and Frogger etc. Tetris has got to be the best gameplay over graphics.
-
Crazy that Dragon Age is here. It never occurred to me that its graphics back in the day wasn't great. I thought it was fine.
-
First game I thought about when I read the title: Valheim. That game has nailed the building system, leveling progression, exploration, environment, atmosphere and reward system. The creature design varies, but it's not bad imo. I've spend soo much time playing Valheim during a more difficult time and I can really recommend the game.
-
A game doesn't need to have realistic graphics to be good as long it's fun it will be a good game. That's the problem with modern AAA games.
-
So glad Spiderweb got some love, they are amazing games, I got them all in a humble bundle years ago but lost the Steam account... still miss them, never had a chance to play them all :)
-
Dragon Age origins had a great narrative and world building, Great medieval fantasy
-
Fallout New Vegas didn't need graphics, It's one of the most beloved games ever
-
I can't believe you didn't mention Rogue. It's about as graphically simple as it gets, but the gameplay was so engaging and entertaining that it inspired entire genres which are still producing best-sellers nearly fifty years later. It has to be the undisputed king of this list.
-
You can't discuss this topic without Dwarf Fortress. Back when I started playing it, it was still just ASCII symbols, people just barely starting to dip toes into tilesets as a thing. The complexity that's there after 20 years of development is unfathomable, but until recently, it very much came from sacrificing graphics entirely.
-
Salt and Sanctuary as well as Kenshi are both EXCELLENT games
-
actually crazy how DA: Origins ended up being the peak of the franchise.
-
I see a "New Vegas" thumbnail, I click it! Every damn time!
-
I love what Dragon Age Origins accomplished and wish more games took their approach with role playing elements and focus on story. The gameplay was satisfying with utilizing abilities in combat. One of the more underrated games in my opinion
-
Pokémon chose neither.
-
Honestly as long as its fun and you're able to tell what you're looking at it doesnt really matter. Plus Ultrakill runs on literally anything so it's worth it.
-
Dragon Age Origins' having a bunch of different beginnings was such a great idea and the polar opposite of the much more common "play the same forced intro and tutorial 50+ times" cough Skyrim* and I have no idea why it isn't more popular other than it must be more work
-
I recently reinstalled Thief Gold to play the recent fan-made full campaign mod Thief: The Black Parade. The graphics are definitely dated, but that classic Thief style stealth gameplay is as good as ever. This all new campaign is just as good as Thief: the Dark Project, and includes the classic style mission briefings, cutscenes, . . .everything. Definitely a can't miss for Thief fans.
