Message: [QUOTE="Lena CE, post: 258024, member: 26523"] As a kid I remember really not caring that much, but I think thats in part due to playing handhelds. I'd be playing PS1 games on my PS2 and then on a car ride to the store play my Gameboy Advance. It meant that I wasn't solely looking at the latest and greatest visuals, so rly I just got to care more about how much fun I was having. Crash Team Racing never stopped being a game I played because no kart racer could fill the void. Even after I got Nitro Kart on PS2, I'd go back to CTR far more often. People our age also grew up in the age of flash games and the endless barrage of F2P downloadable or browser games like Maplestory or Runescape. Graphics ranged wildly from some dinky flash game to your consple Final Fantasy titles so it was a lot harder for people to grow up being snobs. I also feel like while "good graphics" still had presence in marketing, it wasn't nearly as ubiquitous of a selling point as it became for the PS3/360 generation. Thats also the era when games would run like total shit just cause devs were trying to squeeze our every ounce of visual fidelity that they could, it was so sad. The people I see care the most about graphics are casual players who only play a couple AAA games a year and will throw a fit if the grass physics aren't up to snuff. [/QUOTE]
