Are cel-shade graphics just an lazy excuse in disguise?

Cell shaded and looks effin great.

Most of the time, not really. In Borderlands's case, Gearbox chose cell-shaded as an art style, and not as a lazy excuse. It runs on Unreal Engine, so it has the capability of running very realistic graphics.
In Telltale's case, I'd say it's laziness. They always give their games a cell-shaded "art-style" even though the art design doesn't fit any of their games' atmospheres (except Borderlands). Given how much money Telltale has accumulated, I'm surprised the haven't splurged and bought a lisence to a better game engine.

I kinda like Telltale's design, because when I usually see that style, it reminds me of them. Also it worked with the wolf among us, since it was a comic like the walking dead.

So it does work.

Usually when I see a game with a cell-shaded art style, I assume it is comedy themed. I think TWD and TWAU would have been better with realistic. Game of Thrones, especially; because that game's "art-style" is hideous.

Telltale was going with the Walking Dead Comic's design, but they really have no excuse for Game of Thrones.

I usually don't like it but in some cases I think it looks okay, like in Borderlands or Telltale games.

[Jonathan Sensei]

No, not really. But that's my opinion.

So the devs doesn't have to put any effort in making a good looking game.

So you're saying realistic games are the only ones that look good?

Borderlands not cel shaded m8.

Yes it is, actually. If you think it isn't then you don't know what cel shading is.

Cel shading. Cel shading (often misspelled as "cell shading") or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make 3-D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade gradient or tints and shades.
