The Screenshot Thread

Well, I find dialogue and characters pretty forgettable for the most part. It's rather humorous and that works sometimes, but otherwise too many people keep talking for too long instead of being brief and to the point. Oftentimes that's the case even when they have little of interest or relevance to say.

The open world has a good amount of content which isn't worth seeing. Basically, a lot of the time it's just some dungeon to kill some selection of enemies and collect some kind of item. So far, most of the better more involved quests were tied to the cities though I'm only starting to explore the second, smaller island right now. I think part of the problem was that the first bigger island is simply too big. However, if you actually like whatever you are doing with your character, then mostly just combat could still be fun of course. It has been for me.

The day-night-cycle looks nice enough, but there is no weather otherwise. Some good physics though. Especially when messing around with spells.

The spell system is what everyone points to as the most obvious sign of quality, but the rest of the system is also solid. There are three stances (melee, ranged, magic), which are supported by a good selection of skills. Some dedicated to melee, ranged, magic and then there's also crafting, thieving and some general skills. I have seen people complain about how melee works, but I don't mind it.

Stupid boat! Go back into the water! Where's a mage when you need on... Oh.

Looks like the field out back of my house

Chaser is a pretty mediocre shooter even by 2003 standards, but there's still some good views to be had by these old engines with their rough textures and minimal geometry. Today's post processing makes it very difficult to get clean pictures like this anymore.

I have a physical copy of Chaser for some reason. It is probably the newest physical copy PC game I own. I have never played it.

A couple more from Control. Really liking this game, just need to find more time to play it...

Some from Sable (OK, a lot from Sable, it's just very screenshotable).

You sho... I mean you could ;-) But seriously, while I appreciate its atmosphere, it's rather trial-and-errorish and a few of those levels are very disrespectful of the player's time.

Superluminal is such a good looking game - perfect for some great screenshots

Glad I have found this thread. There are some really great screenshots in here! Here are a few of my efforts.

Dead Space 3^tm. Thank you, Gamepass. 




Finally tried out and finished Ninja Gaiden 3. Not as good as Ninja Gaiden 2 and they rehashed a bunch of assets from the previous game. But hey, what do you want. I was always a fan of dismembered corpses being arranged in a Hanniball way.




The current generation of games is really impressing me in a nerdy way. Fabrics and metals have got insanely lifelike detail, but hair still looks like shit. Which I find weird. But hey, at least they have made eyes and eye movement realistic. I guess hair will come along in leaps and bounds soon.



Not the best advert for a F1 game, but eff me, if this does not look the bollocks!










My Shepherd and my fancy AR galaxy map. 

Some screenshots from Arcane Dimensions because it's a thing of beauty.

(unfortunately, Quakespasm lacks an anisotropic filtering option for textures, so if you want the original grainy look it's either full-on nearest neighbor with shimmering, or nearest neighbor trilinear, which makes oblique textures kinda blurry as Quake seems to be very aggressive with mipmaps)

I didn't really visit the screenshot thread at RPS but now I feel like I missed out. Some fantastic pictures in here.

Ahhh, there take your like, musn't spoil myself too much until I get to it. ;-)
