Can we finally admit HD-2D games are ugly?

i guess it was kind of novel at first to have 16bit graphics mixed in with some 3d-like backgrounds and ugly sparkly water and bloom effects. But after like 9 games this shyt just comes off as lazy. The nostalgia blinders eventually gotta come off and admit there are too many better looking pixel based games coming out to still be excited by these things.

People actually wanted a Chrono Trigger remake in this style, as opposed to a 3d style.:wtf::dead:
Always thought it looked horrible. The clash of the HD backgrounds with the pixelated character models is so hard to look at. I was so happy to see "HD2D" trending yesterday and see people finally start to call it out for how ugly it looks.

shyt just looks super muddy to me, like sometimes you can’t even see the NPC’s cause they blend in so much with the background.

Then you have that ugly ass vignette around the border of the screen
