Art directors are expensive. A guy that can "google it" is much more cost effective.

Why do that when I can just ask Sora to make it for me? Then I don't have to engage my brain at all!
Meh, I like high fidelity graphics. Most "artfully stylised" games are not to my taste either - pixel graphics do nothing for me and nor do a lot of flat 2D graphics. Stuff like GRIS is beautiful, but it seems to be an outlier. So for visually engaging stuff I find it's AAA mostly realistic graphics - if not "photorealistic" - for me.
A person with different tastes than me, grrrr. It's diametrically opposite for me. All AAA, no matter what studio, not ID, not Lorien, their graphics just never look as vibrant as lo-fi graphics of a game made by, at most, 5 people. They do have some impressive aspects but, overall, because they try to look more """real""" they end up looking more mundane and boring to me. Nothing will ever compete with artistic abstraction of lo-fi games 🥀
I do like pacific drive but can't play on my potato
Jesus god and more pre-rendered graphics.
Monster Hunter Rise was more visually satisfying that Wilds. Prove me wrong (you can't).
Genuine question:
Kenshi.
Does that count as ah, heh, a lo-fi take on photorealism, or... stylized?
Many people run mods that add a bit of tasteful cel-shading type borders, but you can also go the other way and crank up texture resolution levels.
But on another note, potentially a hot take.
'Anime Waifu' does not count as 'artfully stylized'.
Its ... everywhere, its boring as fuck.
Maybe if you go an actually distinct take on an anime type art style, then sure, that counts.
But your bog standard VROID type stuff?
Nah.
Windwaker. That's an actual style.
Viewtiful Joe.
Cassette Beasts.
Oh also please stop with the Fortnite character proportions, everywhere, for everything.
It's worse than Blizzard turning all their previously distinct art styles into WoW proportions.
I like anime waifu and I think it's timeless. The problem is, because it's everywhere, there are a lot of not great to offensive games that use it
Would you honestly prefer artistic over photorealistic in games like GTA, Arma, 7 days to die, every driving or racing sim, escape from tarkov/stalker, and majority of other popular titles? Yeah, no.
