Any of you feel like we've become so fixated on graphics and perfomance to the point where the actual game part of a video game is often overlooked, or at least underemphasized? I don't know about the rest of you, but all I come across on social media regarding gaming is about resolution, ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, frame rates, frame time, CPU and GPU untilization, and all of that stuff, and I'm honestly sick of it! I mean performance markers have always been discussed when it comes to PC gaming, but now even console gaming is getting this treatment! Don't you miss the days when you just installed the game and just played it? I know I do. What do you think?

Everything you said is just telling us what You've been focusing on. If you don't want to focus on resolution, frame rates, etc, then don't.

There are hundreds and hundreds of great games easily available. Play them. Ive been living the days of just installing a game and playing it for decades. And I'll continue to do so with no problem.
