Video games: Realism or stylized?

World of Warcrafts art style is so beautiful to me, maybe because I grew up with the game, but it has the perfect balance of immersive realism, with a style that allows it to age rather well. Areas like Elwynn Forest are 17 years old but still look good, especially compared to the 'realistic' graphics of games that are just as old. However the newer stuff in WoW looks gorgeous, and every time a new zone comes out it really takes my breath away.

I love this game with all my heart. As you might be able to tell. :wub:

I agree. I mean, the older zones look ok but the newer ones are spectacular.

Stylized. Personally, it creates an imaginative experience for me.

I think I prefer stylized because it seems that for the most part game developers let realistic graphics limit their creativity. Could you imagine botw with realistic graphics? A realistic link scaling everything in sight? I can't.

But don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim.
