1. When you compare X game to X then yeah you are 100% correct. I was more really referring to see once in awhile I'll see a comment someone saying X game's renders are bad that is what I think is subjective. Cause in those cases ive seen games where I don't see what makes the renders bad since they look decent enough even sometimes good to me.
I'm with you there, I do not want nor need every AVN to look like those ultra-realistic games, and that is for one simple reason: development time. For example, the graphics of Imperial Chronicles certainly can't quite compare to the aforementioned behemoths, but I still wouldn't say IC has bad renders, not by a long shot. And that game gets an update every 1.5 - 2 months, so I wouldn't want to trade better looking characters (
the scale of which, by the way, is the epitome of diminishing returns) for development times that are quadruples. Completely not worth it. I will take shorter, to-the-point stories over grand-scale games like BaDIK any time, any day.
