omg this is exactly it. realism is sooo mind bendingly boring to me. we're at the incredible age of technology and people actually prefer to look at something gray and gritty? wheres the fun? the color, the magic, the whimsy? i wanna get lost in an unfamiliar world!
the opposite of a "gun and ball" gamer is someone who only plays cartoonish platformers and absolutely despises any game with a realistic style or guns
