    We don’t need super high quality graphics for every AAA production. Sometimes, Just good enough graphics, but with better interactivity with the environment like ToTK and Baldurs Gate 3. I mean , I love RDR2, but honestly, shrinking horse testicles is a bit too much attention to detail.

    As an example, cell shading of ToTK still looks amazing and far more enduring as a graphics style. Also, Elden Ring, arguably has worse graphics than RDR2 or the latest CoD. But, because of it’s amazing art direction it will age pretty well.

    This can help really reduce the high dev costs.

      The horse testicle physics are the heart of the game, and we should be boycotting any game that doesn’t have them!

      … As someone who hasn’t played RDR2, or really paid attention to it… What? There are seriously shrinking horse testicles?

        Yeah, Horse testicles shrink in cold regions of the map. It’s kind of a dumb detail to be honest.

          I need to know if this detail was in release notes, or some player found it by repeatedly checking his horse testicles.
