    If we consider a game as a cake, I think of the graphics as its frostings. Sure, it could make the game look very good, but won’t do shit if the base of the cake is crap.

      i’d consider realistic graphics as fondant, sure you can create amazing visuals with it… but that thing is barely edible. give me some buttercream (stylised graphics) instead

        One of the things I liked about Blizzard was that they never tried to use fondant. It was all buttercream…

        Until Activision made them start mixing fiberglass into the frosting to cut costs
