to be totally clear, i don't think there's anything wrong if you like stuff to look real, totally valid.
like, if i have a take, it's that we shouldn't forget these are artistic decisions and shouldn't be assumed as a default
there's a stylistic choice in games that puts me off, and that is realism. Which nowadays means pretty much any AAA game, since "good graphics" tends to mean "looks real"

[tom scott voice] i'm here in my yard to talk about a milkshake. my milkshake, specifically. as you can see i'm surrounded by boys. all sorts of boys the world over come to experience my milkshake, "it's better than yours" they tell me, and i'm inclined to agree. but how is it better than yours? well, i could teach you... [politely folds hands in lap] ...but i'd have to charge.
[remarkably foreign guy voice] ah yes, here at Boybringenmäschinen ve are engineering revolutionary milkshake technologies, our company vas founded in 1842 by Hans Dairy, who could not run a farm vith a single cow vithout attracting the attention of ze locals, and vas forced to turn his home into a tourism hotspot
Boys! It seems that SOME of you are unable to take it. Do you FEAR the cake? Well, there will be no mercy here. If you can't handle the SWEET, get out of the kitchen!
