Really?
Graphics are the big issue?
Then why was redfall’s basic gameplay loop worse than Skyrim’s (a game that hasn’t received a mayor update in 10-15 years)?
Like, I understand expectations can be batshit crazy, and often quite bad. You’ve got a point there. Graphics are only a minor part of what makes a good game, a good game though.
P.s.
People nowadays tend to say that a game is incredibly buggy, or boring. Haven’t heard complaints about looks in a long, long time. Only heard complaints that the game is shite, or just simply doesn’t even work.
Yes, people expect top notch graphics and a great story to go with it. There’s only so much bandwidth in a team. We’re lucky we get a coherent story at all most of the time considering how much we expect from games these days.
That still doesn’t excuse shitty gameplay, or like I said, an awfull basic gameplay loop.
Gameplay loops don’t have to be difficult.
Take minecraft as an example.
The basic gameplay loop there is simple.
Mine, craft, repeat.
That, in its most basic form, is it.
But if you look at redfall as an example, it’s using a tried and true method.
Shoot, loot, upgrade, repeat.
They don’t do anything else with it though.
Redfall (to my knowledge) adds nothing.
And it doesn’t even have top-notch graphics. iirc Horizon: Zero Dawn looked prettier. So does Minecraft, but Minecraft is a complicated comparison that I won’t go into here.

Minecraft adds enchantments, building, cool alternate equipment.
