    New games look like realistic pencil drawings that were smudged to shit.

    I literally have Elden Ring screenshots on my PS4 that look worse than Super Mario 64 screenshots.

    It’s like modern games all have a screen shader at the end specifically to fuck up the graphics and blur details. I know it’s TAA and friends but damn. It feels weird that so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots. And people call them good looking games lol

      … so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots.

      This is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially when looking at the screenshots or even videos of a game.

      You’ll be looking at the store page for like a top-down strategy game, and all they show are a bunch of cinematic closeups of character’s faces with FXAA 99999 and 0 screenshots showing the UI. Bro, that is NOT what playing the game looks like.

      I want to see the UI. I Like The UI. I like the strategic camera angle. I am an ACTUAL FAN of this genre and have willingly put myself in your sales funnel - show me the features of the actual game that I want to purchase and play, please.
