More effects is demonstrably better than more resolution. Crank Quake 1 up to 8K. Now run Doom 2016 in 1080p. Which is better? Why? Because Wuake has basically no effects.
Cody, come the fuck on. That's an asinine example and you know it. You're not even attempting to have a conversation in good faith here.
It's exactly the point! Quake's rendering engine is very rudimentary, without all sorts of lighting effects, bump mapping, shaders, etc. The reason games look so much better now is not because the resolution got higher: it's because the rendering engines got more sophisticated.
