Please define “bad graphics”
It should probably say “old graphics”
Older games also don’t treat me like I’m the product.
Older games just seemed thrilled that you were playing them! So many NES era games had long “thank you for playing” screens at the end.
I love playing old games. Hit me with those polygons and bitmaps any day of the week. If the game is good it doesn’t matter how old it is.
I’ll never not love 2D games for that reason.
I’ve never really cared much about graphics in video games, and a game can still be great with even the simplest of graphics - see the Faith series, for example. Interesting story and still has some good scares despite the 8-bit graphics.
To me many of these games with retro aesthetics (either because they’re actually retro or the dev decided to go with a retro style) don’t really feel dated, but rather nostalgic and charming in their own special way.
And many other people also don’t seem to care much about graphics. Minecraft and Roblox are very popular despite having very simplistic graphics, and every now and then a new gameplay video about some horror game with a retro aesthetic will pop up on my recommended, and so far I’ve never seen anyone complain about the graphics, only compliments about them being interesting, nostalgic and charming.
Also I have a potato PC, and it can’t run these modern 8K FPS games anyway, so having these games with simpler graphics that I can actually run is nice. But maybe that’s just me.
