I prefer cartoony games like many "cutesy" Nintendo series and Sonic. I also like anime-style games like Zelda and Tales.

I always felt that non-realistic games age way better. Go back and play some "realistic" games from just a few generations ago and you will see what I mean. Meanwhile, the games that went with a more unique art style look way better even under a modern lens.

It is like CGI vs. animatronics for movies. CGI from even 10 years ago looks really bad, but movies that used animatronics from the 80's still look good today.

I prefer games that are fun, period. But I guess I do like to marvel at modern computer graphics, as I have since the first 3D games. I've been playing Myst for VR and shitting my pants at how cool it is to play one of my favorite games from childhood with modern graphics & in VR. Poster above has a really good point though.

Technically neither.

I don't judge my preference for a game based on the animation. I base it on the story. A game with a strong story and variable character interaction will appeal to me regardless of what the characters look like. A game with minimal story or a complete lack of actual "roleplaying" generally leaves me cold no matter what.

I don't like most Nintendo games (at least not post SNES), but it has little to do with what the characters look like. I'd probably have been all over Breath of the Wild if it looked the same but played more like, say, Baldur's Gate III.

Why barely conceal them?

Double word play. The game is barely concealed or the characters are barely concealed

Most of the games I enjoy happen to have realistic graphics, but the graphics isnt the main reason I like them.

Striving to look realistic was always doomed to fail until the technology was there, i.e. very recently. For that reason stylized games (cartoony, anime, cell shaded, etc.) will always age better.

unforgiving difficulty is all I want

I don't really care about aesthetic so long as that is available

Cell shaded games are cool and work for certain series. Dragon Quest 11 comes to mind. I do however like realistic graphics. Due to been a RPG fan the most cell shaded/animated graphics get my vote as that lends itself very well to fantasy.

No strong preference. On the whole, I probably tend toward less realism simply because greater realism tends to mean movement has to feel semi-realistic to avoid jarring with the art style and that often conflicts with making it feel good to move around, but that's hardly absolute and there are times when clunkier movement works well (like horror games).

Ah that's a classic. A person in a skirt is more interesting than a naked one because we wonder what's underneath.

Depends on the game but no real preference.

I prefer cartoony or anime because the pictures are more cute and beautiful.

depends entirely on the style. there are some cartoony games that are absolutely beautiful and a lot of realistic games that are just grey and brown splotches of boring shit. there are a couple games that make that work, though.

more importantly though is if the game plays like ass.

It doesn't matter which style is used, for me.
