@bowandlyre No, but it isn't the sole element of a decade-winning game. Sure, it was different art, the problem is that they TRIED something and it was crap in execution because they overdid it. I'll admit, I bought games like Skyrim and Borderlands for the art. They look nice. That doesn't make them spectacular games. I won't argue with you that a lot of games today are trying to make games that look realistic and bland because that's what consumers like. It's half because of the Call fo Duty effect in which they keep making crappy games because they sell and it's risky to make something different, but it's also half because they're trying to push the limits of graphics and such. That's why there are so few games that overtake the industry nowadays. They know what everyone wants so they keep doing it.
