I kind of like it though. I just assume they were going for a more dreamlike presentation.

Edit: Figured out why my shots were coming out blurry, for some reason had low quality FXAA on via sweetfx (could have sworn I removed it). Forgive me IQ gods, I sinned.
Thanks, yea I like that one as well; ended up setting it as my wallpaper for my macbook.

I'm taking that on 3200x1800 with 30-60 FPS. Depends on scene. Wyzima is killer, swamps too, but fields and interiors are smooth and keep 60 FPS. GTX 660OC. In native FullHD res I have 60 FPS all the time. Agree, W1 is best Witcher game btw=)

How is Blackguards?
I like the battle system a lot, same for the character building, and the story is pretty decent. It's quite linear and there's no exploration obviously, but that's an SRPG for you.

Yeah. When I first created the table it was a work in progress. I had a lot of issues with teh game so I gave up on it. Now that I can get the game working reliably, I'll probably try and finish the table so everyone can use it. It won't be easy though. The game's code is a bit wonky.

So fucking depressed now by how insignificant we are.

It's one of the scariest games I've ever played.
These mod creators sure know how to make their stuff, me being a car fan, these mods keep making drool over all the new cars they keep releasing. Can't wait for the GTA V goodness.
Well , to be fair they are not making the car models themselves but rip them out of other games .

Crap game, above average (very disappointing in other words) graphics.

Even downsampling max settings at 4K you struggle to get a good shot.
Sleeping Dogs (PC) was a much prettier game. Infamous on PS4 is much better looking than a max settings PC game... saying something really. There's something just so bland about the whole game's look. I don't care what it's technically doing, it just doesn't look nice.

True, but i reckon it's not a simple copy paste right. There's still work needed even when importing from other games.

It depends on the location. The downtown can looks stunningly realistic in both daylight and during the night. The weather effects are amazing too.

I thought Watch Dogs was ugly at first but I did manage to get what I thought were decently pretty shots (on the last page). But yeah, it does come off as bland a lot of the time. The bloom really has to hit just right, and that's even with the modified bloom that's required to make it look decent.

There's exploration in the Shining Force games! But yeah sRPGs usually have menus instead of a world map or towns to explore, sadly.

This game isn't too bad if you max out everything and get HBAO+ running. For some reason, Razer's software didn't run over this game so I used Shadowplay to save gameplay then used VLC to screenshot the parts that I wanted.

One way to trick yourself into thinking this game looks good is to do what I do. Play on low quality at 4800x2700. Then when you find a place to take a shot, turn it back up to ultra. It looks a TON better
I must agree with you... Visually the game is... wired. Not "realistic", even if it try to be. But on the other side, city is really living. Probably most living virtual sand-box city I saw.

Is it worth getting on PC? I have a 765m so I wouldn't be able to get very good graphics, but the stuff about the city being very atmospheric has me interested.

LOL... this game runs like utter garbage on the Uber Rig.
I call it "Stutter_Dogs." XD

Hey guys I think it should be added to the OP, that the Lanczos filter in Infranview shouldn't be used for downsampling images.
It over emphasizes edges and adds a lot of ringing causing it to look a lot more aliased than it should
FastStone's Lanczos 3 should be used instead as it doesn't suffer the same issues.
Comparison: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/79095 (Serious Sam 3 at 3200x1800 with 8xSGSSAA resized by 2x2 to 1600x900)

I do like the grass in Watch Dogs. Looks particularly nice when it blows in the wind.

Still impressive what is possible to do with Aurora engine... that had Neverwinter Nights in 2002.
If you do end up making new skyboxes. Plz release! Game needs it hah...
Agreed.
