Im sorry but someone has to point out the Emperor has no Clothes
this has been a while coming, but seriously guys... there is a reason games evolved from what they were... because we wanted better games!!!!

these games looked crap but they were all we had. No amount of nostalgia can gloss over the fact that they look crap!! they did then, and they do now.

I'm afraid that the time has come for someone to point out that the Emporer has been very nude for quite some time now and appears more and more often on Steam - standing there and wiggling his willy about, while too many peple marvel at his fancy new invisible clothes.

Stick to AAA and let us enjoy deep and rich games since it's not your cup of tea. No one's forcing you to buy it and thank god you'll always have EA Games to provide you with... clothes.

Also, and sorry for being a stalker (who am I kiding, that's what steam is all about), but you clocked 8hours of Contradiction and you don't seem to mind. I mean actors, really? Sierra is calling, they want their 90's adventure games back.

i gave up on Contradiction. it got silly. basically find a new object and then re-visit every character to ask them about it.. then rinse and repeat. I posted on that discussion board about it :-) you're right - its another failing of older games.. the monotony of it all and screeds of dialogue to read through or listen to... we have books for that.

I do also make positive posts from time to time, incase anyone thinks I just moan and whinge... not that anyone probably gives a toss what i think..

(but you might, if you're a stalker ;-)

You seem smart enough to know that coming to that kind of game's forum to complain about the graphics will make you look like a troll, so what exactly is your point? If you wanna know how a game that ugly manages to sell this well, just ask that.

And speaking about the Emperor and his clothes, games might have evolved on the graphic side but gameplay wise, they tend to be dumber and dumber. No wonder then that when a game like Dark Souls stop treating you like a 4years old potatoe with dawn syndrom, people go nuts about it.

Finally, there's this thing that people used to use but that has pretty much become obsolete: their imagination. A couple of sprites glued together with the name "ugly demon" over them will always be 10x scarier than any computer-generated imagery.

Yeah but with a high enough ego and some gifts I'm sure we can work things out!

gawd... i've got a cardboard box for sale..especially for someone with heaps of imagination ;-) anyway. if you enjoy it then go for it. i'm not really meaning to troll.. im just amazed at the increasing amount of these awful looking pixilated games. I wonder where it will end.. with two white blocks on a black screen perhaps... as long as its "deep" ;-)

You're not trolling, you just have the situational awareness of a lead brick. This is the game you're talking about:

That is what CoQ looks like. Because it's a roguelike. There used to be arguments, that escalated to fistfights, about whether or not a game could use any non-text tiles and still be considered a roguelike.

If you wanted to whine about retro pixel art in 2015, this was the absolute worst place to make your case.

Spending time on graphics takes away from spending time on actually interesting game development.

I agree it looks like crap and it would be, without a doubt, better with detailed graphics. The problem is that you cannot have everything. This game focuses all on gameplay and nothing on presentation. It's a choice and some like it, some don't.

I bought this game because I like the gameplay
