Technical issues and glitches also affect the overall graphical experience, especially on certain ports.
“First of all, the game worked fine for me, no issues with graphics or resolution.”
“While the graphics represented a technical improvement at the time of release, the artistic shift divided opinion among fans.”
“Some appreciated the cleaner visuals and more modern appearance, while others felt the cartoon-like style diminished the historical atmosphere and realism that had helped define the series.”
“The artstyle and the gritty and realistic feel of the first two games has been replaced with this cartoonish artstyle and horrible voice acting with really poor humor which just kills the whole vibe of the game.”
“Nothing works in this port - if you increase resolution and graphics quality, you'll get even more glitches and stutters than you do with basic settings.”
“The art style is cartoony compared to the previous iterations.”
