Graphics in my opinion peaked at around 2015. I still boot up games from that time and I think they’re not that different from today’s titles

The amount of effort for such imperceptible improvements is insane.

Also insane is how shit modern games run without multi thousand dollar hardware, even if you turn down settings, but then it also looks like ass in addition to running like shit.

So true. A couple years ago, I upgraded from an RX 480 to an RTX 3070. I was excited for ray tracing and so much more. It was very underwhelming.

I recently tried Star Wars Battlefront from 2015 on my PC and holy crap it looks good.

Yup. I got the Mad Max game or $3 at a steam sale and it's graphics and gameplay is just right.
