Aesthetic Vidya

Again, just using the word "aesthetic" doesn't magically make it fit the criteria, neither does "atmosphere", neither does posting microscopic screenshots. No idea why you misspelled aesthetic when you spelled plebeian correctly, you need to calm down when you're furiously typing responses

The cognitive dissonance is something else. Why not just admit to the fact you have a fetish for shitty low res textures? If you want a game that had low res and high atmosphere then do it right faggot.

It's got gameplay and combat, yeah. Best way to describe it is the N game mixed with Ikaruga, as it has ikaurgas color shifting mechanics and bullet hell elements to go with it, and the controls/player character/view remind me of the N game a lot.

But it's not nearly as mechanically deep as either of those games, Outland is pretty shallow gameplay wise, but IMO it's got *enough* gameplay to it that the overall package is worth it even if the visuals and audio does more of the lifting in the equation.

I can't stand how what you posted looks.

Why even make 3d models if they are going to animate and look exactly like sprites. They could have made the animations actually fluid and smooth but they didn't on purpose.

What a waste.

Indeed it is
Maybe you should tell the self important SanFran fucks who listen to vaporwave in this thread to either play more vidya or actually figure out what in the fuck they're talking about

Also, Halo's skyboxes are pretty fucking aeshetic, H2A's MP stuff in general.

Halo 2 and CE had very impressive skyboxes for their time as well, but they've ageed too much to post here. 3's still look pretty good. It's also one of the few area's 343 is just as good as bungie was in

Last one here looks a lot better in motion, the entire atmosphere animates like it's on fire, because, well, it sort of is, the covenant ships in the skybox are melting the atmosphere away with their glassing beams

Oh boy now it's time for me to tell YOU to kill yourself

Maybe you should learn to shut your mouth once in a while instead of making a jackass out of yourself and then pouting about it

Holy shit you are a fucking retard, kill yourself already.

Are we really lowering the bar of aesthetics that much to just include "nice skyline"? we could be here all week with that sort of shit. I only played up until Halo 3 , but the Half Life 2 (and episodes) had a hell of a lot more interesting environments. That desert pic is nice on Halo 4 tho.
