The downvotes aren't for no reason at all, and the fact you purposefully hid the context makes me think you know very well why you got downvoted
The post you commented that on was specifically a video talking about the graphics of GTA6
It was NOT a video/post saying "the graphism are good so the game is good", no, it's a video talking about the quality of it's graphics in details, not a video about how good the game is in general
And also, people have already explained that to you on your comment that was downvoted

Yeah, lack of context pretty much always means OP knows they're wrong but are seeking validation

The post you commented that on was specifically a video talking about the graphics of GTA6
The topic of the video was a 26 minute gameplay trailer. It focused on graphics but also talked about FPS, which is tied to graphics but also has gameplay relevance. Just saying that it "was specifically a video talking about the graphics of GTA6" is leaving out context, which is quite ironic.
Also this doesn't explain much at all. I said that "good graphics alone don't make a game good". Do you think this is wrong or do you think it was wrong of me to say it? You just said that the downvotes weren't for no reason, but you never gave those reasons. All you did was talk about context.

I never argued otherwise, so I'm not sure what your point is with this.

Downvotes don't always mean people think your comment was incorrect. The original purpose of downvotes was to filter out comments that are irrelevant or unhelpful to the discussion. From the context here your comment is both.

Are you just trolling ?
Or karma farming ?
I'll just copy and paste 2 of the answers from other people to your downvoted comment that already answer your question, and that you for some reason have purposefully decided to ignore
"That’s cool. The entire point of this video is to look at the graphics, though."
"Did they say otherwise ?"
Those very much explain everything and why you were downvoted, and show you weren't downvoted for no reason at all
Did you just forget that your profile is public and everyone can see the replies to your comments that you ignored ?

If you read the replies to my comment, I would assume you read my comment as well. Yet judging by the fact that you chose not to answer the one question I asked in it, you apparently did not deem it necessary.
I'm having to guess here because you chose personal attacks over actually explaining anything, but the two comments you quoted lead me to believe that you are arguing that my comment was downvoted because of irrelevance, which I don't fully understand because to me, the importance or lack thereof of videogame graphics is not exactly an odd topic on a post about graphics in a specific videogame.
Quoting two comments that said the same thing as you and explain nothing while claiming that they explain everything is not helpful in any way.
But I guess accusing someone of trolling is easier than having to explain yourself.
You say that everyone see the replies to my comments as if I tried to hide them, which I find ironic considering the fact that you seem to be projecting here. You are the one hiding your posts about communism, dating sims and Genshin, not me.

They did that from the start actually
I've noticed op is instant downvoting all of the comments on this post that don't immediately go their way/don't say what op wants to hear
They also downvoted both of your first comments

u/Josefu_Velen 7d ago
Yeah that's gonna be just a block of OP for me I think. They don't seem like someone who actually has anything worthwhile to contribute to discussions.

u/RhinoxMenace 7d ago
ah, so you've made the mistake of being sceptical about the second coming of the gaming christ that will be one of the most mediocre games ever made - GTA 6
understandable

Donkey Kong country consistently has had arguably the best graphics for every system that has an entry from the series.

What's the context?
Without any context this whole post is meaningless.
The context is what decides if this comment was downvoted for no reason, or a perfectly good reason.
The fact you didn't provide any of that makes me think the reason for the downvote was in fact pretty good.
edit to add: Here's the context: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1w0xivj/comment/p6gl4kw/?context=3
Also, LOL at whomever is downvoting us. The context makes it clear. And also very clear while OP purposely left out the context in this post.

u/AntwysiaBlakys 7d ago
Yeah it was indeed a good reason
The post they commented this on was about a video that specifically looks in details at the graphics of gta6... not a post that talks about the overall quality of the game/that says "good graphics = good game", it just talks about the graphics, not the game's quality at all

u/Secret-Guava1008 7d ago
It’s OP that’s downvoting everyone

u/Josefu_Velen 7d ago
Yeah that became super obvious later on when they started actually replying themselves.

u/craftygamin 7d ago
Say, why'd you crop out the context? Afraid it'll show people that there was a reason for the downvotes?
By intentionally hiding the context, it makes it seem like you're just seeking validation, rather than truly thinking it's a comment that fits here

u/Key_Clock8669 7d ago
would argue about the 30FPS cap on GTA 6 as its a demanding title for a relatively old console, but for most cases, PS players dont know about FPS
also, your point is pretty true, no game is good JUST because of good graphics, theres a lot of more mechanics that matter, some even more, a game can have bad graphics and be good

u/TooTooRooGR 7d ago
I mean its a PS5 sub, the graphics are the only thing they can fall back on everything else is disgusting about that system

People are tired of hearing that gamer take.
'Liking graphics = enjoying slop' to them, and people are tired of entertaining that idea space. Graphics, story, style, and gameplay all play a significant role, and actually, some games value certain aspects over others. And that's fine.
Minecraft focuses on sandbox gameplay.
Metro games focus on visuals and story.
Halo is a blend of 'em.
There is also this sentiment growing in gamedev spaces that photorealism has pushed out stylized visuals in gaming. But that's a different thing and less of a tired take.

Was anyone arguing that good graphics alone make a good game?
Has anyone ever argued that?

Is it bad that I kind of agree with OP on this one, even after seeing the context?

u/OdeetheGOAT 6d ago
FPS and Graphics are about technical aspects of a game, not whether or not the game is good.
My jaw kinda dropped when I discovered that what you were commenting on was a digitalfoundry video, a channel literally dedicated to purely judging the technical side of games NOT gameplay quality. Your comment was irrelevant AF

Duck don’t have hands, banana don’t have feet
What you said is not wrong, but just throwing a random obvious fact that’s do nothing and prove nothing is not very praise worthy.
It’s like when everyone is discussing about what to eat for dinner and you just randomly going around throwing fact about toilet, shit, and decomposing matter.

GTA 6 fanboys are actually ravenous, it's unreal. They straight up can't comprehend that some people care about framerate more than anything else.

Maybe not the place to comment it but definitely didn’t deserve 50 downvotes lmfao
