Why do modern games look so "fuzzy"

Every time, haha. I miss the old days where devs pulled clever tricks, or outright didn't increase fidelity due to the hardware, not trying to push only photorealism for every game.
The push for photorealism has been to the detriment of everything else sadly.
Depressing, really. Art style over gritty realism any day.
Ikr Unique world spaces over everything looking like reality.
Weirdly I noticed that, while the really heavy games got uglier and slower, most PS4 games still have decent resolutions (System Shock remake) unlike PS360 where resolutions tanked in the latter half of the gen.
But also I miss being excited for new hardware
Yep, I have a fancy gaming PC right now but once it dies I am going for efficiency and embracing stable refresh rates at decent PPI displays without upscaling, if that means a return to 1080p 24 inches I will go that route.
Absolutely based. My wife has an AOC 24G2 which is 24"/1080/144hz and it slaps honestly.
Nice! Consistently hitting that 144 FPS cap at 1080p, 24inches must be nice. Easier to hit the caps, smoother gameplay, lower power draw. I'm here for it, honestly.
4k can stick to movies, even if it can be nice, it's just too expensive to actually achieve at reasonable framerates for most games even with upscaling.
She tends to use 120 because A) matches her Zephyrus G14 screen refresh B) easier to hit C) 2× 60fps, but yeah it slaps. It also has freesync and gsync which are soooooo cooooool.
I have a few 4k blurays and that's it tbh, I do not see a reason to upgrade to 4K. Most GPUs still struggle yeah, so...
