And you cant say that older games would have been the same if they looked like games nowadays. Every game designer you talk to will tell you that every game they made would have been totally different if the technology they were dealing with were different.

Theres this one part of Final Fantasy 13 where Lightning has this flowery weapon thing, and she looks like a dumbass for using that in a fight with someone. I hoping major publishers are going to learn some very important lessons about games looking real vs looking cool this coming generation.
Yeah I know what you're saying. But let's look at the new Tomb Raider for
Example. The old tomb raider games had violence, but because of the limitations of the hardware, it looked fake.

The new Tomb Raider is so realistic looking and the hardware so capable that the designers went out of their way to create unique and extremely graphic death sequences for Lara Croft. Do I enjoy watching women get impaled through the neck by a tree branch? Not particularly. I think it's sick actually. So for a consumer like myself, a particularly exciting gaming experience is ruined by over the top violence.

I know this isn't a problem for everyone, but for me and surely some others, this is a major issue as to why modern gaming isn't as appealing.
