Why do people make fun of cartoony looking video games?

[JakeWIlls92]

I remember back in 2015 there was a comment on a video for a Johnny Cash song that stated “Seems like a game f*gs play” after a E3 2015 trailer that revealed Mass Effect Andromeda used a Johnny Cash song.

I didn’t know if they were referring to the original trilogy or Andromeda.

Andromeda did turn out to be more cringy though. The Andromeda characters felt more like college students than hardened soldiers, mercenaries, and intellectual scientists of the original trilogy.





I’ll admit when I first saw ME1 it looked a bit too cartoony for my tastes but I’d never say anything like that.

Then one day I got tired of CoD and picked up a cheap copy of ME1 from a local GameStop after a friend begged me to play it.

Since then narrative based games have my preference. ME OT, To The Moon, Valiant Hearts, etc.

I ain’t going back to CoD ever again.

I don’t know why I had that prejudice against sci fi in the first place.

Perhaps American society before the 2010s conditioned people to conform.

Society definitely seems more open to geek culture nowadays.

I hope that ignoramus is enjoying Baldur's Gate 3 and/or Starfield right now.
