ITT: Games with god tier art direction.
Blue Reflection, I don't have screenshots but it looks amazing on PS4 and PC.
>>724174223Final Fantasy 12 is the best looking game of all time to me. The texture work is immaculate.I've never actually played it for that long because I always get bored.
>>724176902typical ff12 fan loland I seriously hope you're not talking about the god awful remaster textures
>>724174223FF13 has amazing graphics and some nice set pieces but I wouldn't call it a good art directionIt's mostly generic technology city, snowy area, forest, desert, etc
>>724179487What other games look like this, then? Because I need more.
>>724179772Unironically FF14, matter of fact a shitload of enemies are lifted straight from 13
>>724180032this game is fucking ugly lmao
Mirror's Edge (Catalyst too)
>>724180229
>>724180208I take pity on your atrocious taste

>>724180032>>724180314this is shitgo back

>thread is barely 15 posts in>already filled to the brim with low effort baitits all so tiresome
>>724180528Buddy, I've been posting on /v/ for more years than you have been a living, breathing human being.
>>724174223
>>724180032ewwww what is this colour blind vomit
>>724180649I was just about to post Ori lol
>>724180032>>724180314fake soul
>>724180649this game is so pleasing on the eyes, too bad the gameplay is boring metroidvania trash
>>724180407I hated this game but I did take a lot of pictures of it even though it's kinda bland art wise. The in-motion graphics were clean I guess because most of the shots kinda suck.
>>724180662It's just a filter in the photo mode>>724180728There was a lot of nice backdrops. The game is kind of divisive because it's not really an RPG nor does it play like other FF games, but I still had fun with it.
perfectly captures that early 2000s fanatsy aesthetic while still looking fresh to this day.
>>724174223what game is that?looks pretty alright
These days I find myself judging whether I like a game or not depending on how much time I spent taking screenshots and how many I take
>>724180789>>724180314>>724180032>all of that visible LOD culling in the backgroundthis is what ue5 haters want?
>>724180893Final Fantasy XIII
>>724180854
>>724180804How you feeling about MP4?Myself, I just want a Prime 2 remake right now.
>>724180854>>724180976What ludo is this?
>>724180990What I've seen so far doesn't instill a lot of confidence, but Retro has never made a bad game so I can't imagine it being bad by any means.
The Horizon games are unironically the most beautiful games I've ever played too btw
>>724180789>but I still had fun with it.I had no choice but to drop it because it was so boring.
>>724181115I'm willing to give it a chance I'm just very skeptical based on what we've seen so far. Not really excited about the bike at all but I won't judge it until I actually try it out myself.
Does prerendered count?
>>724181298Of course.
X got some nice spots too
>>724181148yeah this guy is confirmed retarded. srobably the only real snoy left on /v/.
>>724181450
>>724181483You're genuinely just a contrarian retard that I can ignore, keep replying though. Posting my screenshots makes (you) mad so it gives me motivation to keep going
no screenshots on me but some I liked arealready mentioned FF gamesGuild Warsmost of the Miyazaki souls game worldsgenshit(except the character art direction sucks)
>>724174223I avoided XIII for the longest time after XII and ironically even once i forgave and came to accept XII good points (or rather, it´s potential) i never gave XIII and proper chance. In any case if what you want is good art direction i would say these should fit the bill >Valkyrie Profile Lenneth and Silmeria >Vagrant Story>Saga Frontier 2 >Radiata Stories >Folklore >Uncharted 2 and 3>Lost Odyssey >Nier Replicant and Automata >Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch >DQ XI>The Last Story >FF IX>TLOU>Expedition 33 >Baldur´s gate 3 >Divinity Original Sin 2 >Hollow Knight >Child of light >Unicorn overlord >Final Fantasy Tactics >Astria Ascending >Banner Saga >Sea of stars >Granblue Fantasy Relink >Tales of Arise
>>724181621Wait this actually looks cool as hell.

>>724181016Lord of the Rings Online
>>724181671
>>724181710Glad I'm not the only one, so much hate on /v/ for a game none of them even played.
>>724181821I don't need to play a game to have an opinion on it.
unironically, I think Skyrim has one of the most iconic visual designs of any game ever, which is why I think the game was so popular, because I don't think the gameplay is anything to write home about
>>724174223Destiny 1 and 2
>>724181886
>>724174223>"art direction">a specific camera angle and framingshit thread
>>724181958You lost
>>724181931thank you. I don't actually have any screenshots and just downloaded one off of google images, so this is great
>>724181931kino
>>724181931ah grey mountains and rivers, how unique and interestingbeautiful
I haven't played this kusoge for at least 3 years but I really really liked the art direction in many areas back then. Making me actually stay in place and take screenshots is actually a rare occurrence.
>>724182710This but unironically.
>>724182678>LovelessBased
Just finished Keeper and thought it looked beautiful at times.
>>724183912Sovl
>>724182710The cold nordic vibes of Skyrim were never really present in fantasy games up to this point. It's a very distinct visual
Has there been a game that's had a bigger influence of the visuals of other games than Ico? I feel like every game after this for like a decade had the yellow filter bloom lighting
>>724185017vagrant story's rim lighting effects are one of the coolest graphical tricks ever
>>724184769KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>724185180Whatever started the current era of washed out shitpiles of anti-soul gas.Hell maybe it was Skyrim that did it, I'm not sure
>>724178035I'm really not a fan of the game itself at all and nah I've never played the remaster. I'm just an old 3D fartist whose always loved the look of that game. It's one of the games that inspired me to take up handpainting textures.
>>724185569I can definitely respect that. You should check out Radiata Stories, that game has amazing textures. Kingdom Hearts 1+2 and Dirge of Cerberus might be up your alley too.
>>724180032>>724180314Good looking individual assets with a godawful art direction
>>724181814We need indy games to take a hint and make more games like this instead of going with pixel art.
>>724180789what kind of retard puts a filter on a pic in a thread about art direction
>>724176902The character designs are atrocious.
>>724187238*blocks your path*
>>724185601No kidding. Gorgeous game. I recommend everyone play 1 or 2 in-game days max per day. And just keep coming back to it every day for half an hour. Wish I could have another game like that.
>>724181148Played the remaster just last week and I'll have to agree with you. Visually absolutely stunning and how the setting was incorporated into the scenes was very satisfying to look at. Also very good use of HDR.
>>724180229>>724180291It looks good but isn't the entire art direction just the "yellow paint" to guide the player meme?
>>724185601>>724187416What do you guys think about Natsu-Mon?
>>724180032Elden Ring is so fucking ugly Jesus Christ

>>724184769It doesn't look like this for me.
>>724189390the remaster fucked up the lighting
this thread was a sony circlejerk until the based nostalgiafag showed up, not saying the name of picrel btw lol fuck u>>724188717i keep forgetting i have this game in my library cause its so hard for me to want to play mission based games
yeah say what you want it's weeb goodness
>>724191429honestly, I don't think most of the people in this thread, including (You), understand what art direction actually means. It's not just about "game look good" or "pretty screenshot". It's a holistic design philosophy that encompasses the entire aesthetic design behind a game and how it contributes to the overall experience alongside things like gameplay, music, and story. A good example would be pic rel, where the entire art direction of the game is designed in such a way as to put forth a specific aesthetic interpretation of the book
>>724181298i somehow still remember that auction house even though its not that special. just bcs of how it is placed on the map. same with these weird desert areas around the VIvi village.
>>724180314coming from someone posting this woke flop lol
Expedition 33
>>724180032>>724180314first game looked better
>>724187539Yeah but nobody had done it before and it still wasn't spelled out for you. Also, open ended modern rooftops with loads of pipes and details, it was a neat and pretty solution to have red details of different variations spread around I fucking hate yellow paint more than anyone but it felt innovative in this.
>>724180032oh no no no hahahaha
Age of Empires 3 looks really nice, its a beautiful game
>>724187539You could turn off Runner Vision.
i love the underwater theme that fate extra and ccc have, because we are deep in the moon cell? get it?
I enjoyed Stellar Blade
>>724180032>>724180314These look great, you guys hate it only cause the games are woke
Disco Elysium.
>>724201005you blind retard
>>724201005>frogposter is retardedevery fucking time
RE5 still looks damn good to this day.
>>724181148lol
>>724181450Images you can hear, this game is such a comfy place for me.
>>724181558I wish games never improved graphics beyond this.
>>724203061The power of chiaroscuro
The most beautiful game ever created
>>724187539not exactly
>>724205572El-Shaddai bro spotted.
I feel like most western studios struggle to make a consistent art style that stands out, but Tim Schafer does a pretty nice job of it
>>724174223Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2SkyrimDark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborn, Elden RingAlien IsolationBioshockGenshin Impact (through Fontaine, but not after)So many to list.
This is the only time I specifically looked up who did the art direction for a game.Pure kino

jesus fucking christ this thread is dogshit with only a few good posts like >>724205835>>724205575>>724201949>>724188478
>>724206670Gravity Rush 2 is extremely pretty. It's very similar to Tekkonkinkreet, one of the most beautiful animated movies ever. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspired GR.
>>724206535>(through Fontaine, but not after)kek still mad about there being no black people in Natlan? It looked great.
>>724174223I don't know what art direction can be defined as, I just go by "this game looks cool" or "this game looks like shit" with next to no inbetween
>>724207098No, I'm mad because it looks like a retarded children's cartoon, instead of "the anime version of a believable place."It had a few good skyboxes and locations, but the overall quality fell off a cliff after Fontaine.
>>724174223Silent Hill 3, really the first four games in general.
>>724195553this
>>724207098Compare your screenshot and the first one I posted in reply to this abomination and tell me that something wasn't lost after 4.0.
>>724174223Early TF2
>>724180032Screenshot looks like dragon's dogma 1 lmoa
>>724207475
>>724207227A mindless opinion.>>724207359Nothing was lost, the game still continues to impress.
>>724207646It's a perfectly mindful opinion. I counter your nice limited domain (?) with this massive open world area that's covered in crayon drawings for babies.
>>724181864Clearly.
>>724207586
>>724207829I really like the bottom image.That grass looks like it'd be really nice to lay down in in the shade.
It's difficulty to describe how much I appreciate the aesthetics of Marathon Infinity
>>724207875>>724207829I always imagine how clear-headed it must feel to ride around in fields like this. You never get a chance for your mind to rest nowadays.
>>724207646Perhaps you prefer these random, barely-textured and almost completely empty floating islands, with anachronistic neon ribbons around them?All I'm saying is that from 4.0 and backwards, every single location everywhere was gorgeous all the time, no exceptions. The number of exceptions increased in Natlan and it's not any better in Nod Krai.
>>724208029>Anachronisticbro trying to sound smart.which time period had floating rock ribbons?
>>724207769>I don't like it because it has.... a motif>ignoring the awesome spire in the distance and interesting valleys>pretends Fontaine was some kind of peak when only the underwater looked goodDisingenuous Natlan crybaby.
>>724208024
>>724208016
Little Nightmares 1 always gets overlooked in terms of art but the art direction is the game, its impeccable in the "staying at grandmas old house having a nightmare" thingy its going for

>>724180789Nice, this game looks amazing. Imagine being one of those philistines who can't play it for one reason or another so they engage in absolute delusion to convince themselves this isn't eye-melting beauty. Sucker Punch is so based.
>>724207829I just beat Last Guardian this morning, might actually be above SOTC for me in terms of atmosphere.
In this case the beautiful art is coming to kill you
>>724181621>>724187506>>724181148fellow 'Rizon chads
I sometimes forget since I've played it so many times, but the game being a vertical slice of the world and the story using that to its advantage is just fantastic.
Phantasy Star Online 1
>>724181821>>724181710>>724181621>>724181621Horizon has my favorite exploration of any open world game. I wish they used that engine for a sword&sorcery open world
>>724208193https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-y5suMPbrkFor some reason the song of the first floor gets this synthetic trumpet added three minutes in, adding a urgency and sense of patriotism? Very cool
>>724208478Every time you're outside in TLG it feels like a chilly breezy morning
>>724208564Sonic Team during Dreamcast era was something else entirely.
>>724174223Final Fantasy 13 performed really well on PS3 but the sequel performs like a doodoo and borderline unplayable
>>724180032>>724180314>>724180789>Ghost of AntifaPS3 tier graphics
>>724208796I've always loved the ark levels in sa2 and how they combine ancient mesoamerica and spacetech together. The deeper you go, the more ancient it gets.
Destiny 2's art is amazing
E33 has the coolest overworld ever.
>>724209176True.Shame the heads at bungie are all money blinded retards now since they fucking fired the old art team.
>>724209119
>>724209235True.And it's damn sad and infuriating that you can't go back to the maps that the artists spent so much time creating, because a lot of them were amazing even for a one-time use.
>>724208085The 80s, numb nuts. The rocks look ancient while the neon looks modern, like Mavuika’s bike and the rest of the tech from Xilonen. It is anachronistic, and I don’t just say that to sound smarter than you.>>724208116I dislike it because it has a -shitty- motif. Every nation has a motif but that does not mean the motif is automatically good. And yes, 4.0 Fontaine was great, even the boring areas. The underwater was breathtaking, pun intended.
>>724209176>>724209235I kinda hate the game, but I played a lot more of it than I wanted simply to see more of the environment art. Its really something special
>>724174223Fairly obscure dreamcast game called Cool Cool Toon. It has some absolutely wild character designs.
>>724209551You dislike it because Mavuika is white lol.
>>724209587It's the sole reason why I keep going back to the game from time to time
>>724208725>you can meditate Wtf. Good thing I didn't know, it would've added 3 hours to my playthrough
>>724209751You have actual brain rot if you can’t have a genuine discussion about this. I’m talking about the landscape and scenery and you keep bringing it back to the characters, but for all the wrong reasons. Mav is a shit archon for a dozen reasons but none of them are skin color.
>>724209739
CP2077 has incredible composition.
>>724209905Oh I get it, it's because Natlan was orange. Orange man bad.
>>724181298>>724181341Gives me 2000s animated screensaver vibes
>>724181821I played Horizon and it was boring shit. You have terrible taste in games and aesthetics.
>>724209913
>>724210187>it was boring shit.Quite the critic
>>724209970Unironically yes, orange land bad.
>>724210278It's a Ubisoft style open world game with no innovative mechanics, and shitty modern writing. There's nothing good about it except for some of the robot dinosaur designs.
>>724210276
>>724174223I've always hated Final Fantasy's artstyle because it was too disjointed - like the artstyle version of a mutt melting pot.
>>724210468The FF games usually try to depict a large world with multiple cultures. I guess you're dumb and that triggers a brainlet aversion to diversity but the world is diverse and so are those fantasy worlds.
>>724210424
>>724207057Gravity Rush ripped off Birdie a lot.
>>724210838Gravity Rush was inspired by a lot of things
>>724181483Keep seething, tendie.
>>724210697putting gothic arches on an oriental pagoda and gluing guns and swords together and putting it all in a disney cartoon isn't "diversity" you retarded mutt. Its a tasteless potluck of incoherent styles.

>>724211771>it's not realisticOh wow you're cringe.
>>724206581
>>724211909yeah, anor londo looks good, but thats a cohesive style isn't it?

>>724212491>>724212549>soulsbabby with an IQ so low he thinks FF artstyles aren't cohesiveoh man
>>724209206yeah it's insane
The obvious answer
>>724213292
>>724209206it's decent
>>724208771I thought this game was really ugly. I had such high hopes for it cause I loved Journey and Abzu.
>>724213487Pathless wasn't by thatgamecompany was it?
>>724213428visually it's stunning but i wish there was more stuff to find
>>724213527No it was Giant Squid, which split off from thatgamecompany. Matt Nava was the art director on Journey before he split off to form Giant Squid bringing a bunch of thatgamecompany employees with him. Abzu, the Pathless and Sword of the Sea really should be considered part of the same saga as Journey

>>724181814>>724187060
Genshin has a lot of screenshot bait places but I think it is a bit cheesy plus it doesn't convey the actual feeling of getting to the place from which the scenery gets fully revealed to the player. Just posting a cool tree or whatever lacks a lot of soul which is tied to the exploration of the world or lore/quest asociated with the place.
>>724180990I replay 2 more often than 1 these days, so I too am hoping for a prime 2 remaster
>>724174223It may be a walking simulator but mixing Giger's style with Beksinski's resulted in a very interesting setting. It deserved a proper game.

>>724174223Ff13 visuals, music and overall presentation carried it so hard it's not even funnyAll the shitty characters and writing and questionable level design i can almost forgive because of the raw kino art, music and game feelhttps://youtu.be/ul6Y4EJROOI
>>724180032
>>724181671FF-XIII is so schizophrenic because to this day its the most beautiful and believable fantasy setting I've ever experienced in a game with a level of polish bordering on fanaticismAnd then the game itself takes 30 hours of corridors before it opens up, with awful characters, an absolutely nonsense story and baffling game design decisions.If those aren't dealbreakers for you I would highly recommend it
>>724193143>can't backtrack or replay levels to find the shit you missedWhat the FUCK were they thinking

>>724211445Hell yeah
>>724181814Actual ludokino>>724181931Looks like shit
>>724216168that game is a good lesson on who to make something look artistic by just changing the sky color and adding a bunch of fog cards, other devs should take not that this is how yo udo distant fog right
>>724218004Yes. Machinarium also has arguably the greatest videogame OST of all time.
>>724181148are you trans by chance?
>>724209206Looks like a low contrast visual mess, like every UE5 game
>>724209206This looks like fucking garbage. I don't have anything against this game, but this makes me not want to play it. Why are the colors so muted? It looks so dead and soulless.
>>724174223fucking hate the way this looks. this is the equivalent of those "deep" anime schoolgirl artworks with flower petals falling and cluttered sky with clouds and falling stars and billions of lens flairs. you are vomiting in my eye, please stop.
i dont know about god tier but napishtim era falcom graphics are timeless to me
luv me genshin
Love the Feudalism art style, reminds me of the Crusader Bible art style.
>>724227541I hate to say it but even WoW looks better than this
>>724227541>luv me some goyslop
>>724174223Looks like artsy fartsy floating shit
>>724216427Jesus. I've never played Destiny but one thing I've always adored from Bungie was the general art design and skyboxes. What the fuck is that After image? They ruined the moody lighting! A big part of good environment design is knowing when to use both light AND shadow.
>>724228413there's a lot of overlap between these twohonestly, I think that's exactly why the game got me - because it reminds me of walking through wow zones
>>724224715I'll criticize Elden Ring all day but I agree. I'm not against fog existing in games, but the overwhelming majority just smear it over the screen. It should be in the distance, used for atmosphere and drawing your eye to distant landmarks. It's something Elden Ring does well.
>>724179772Probably the sequels?
>>724228713I hate that modern wow zones look like genshin, they made everything about it gay as fuck I had to quit
>>724229582oh yeah, art style and design took a dive around the time Samwise leftgod I miss Azeroth

>>724232660he's what zell's like about hotdogs but with 0 charisma
>>724207769Genshin is a game for babies so having a world design to accomodate the playerbase is the logical progression.
these genshin places look really cool, a shame its always online
>>724181148They are. Games are boring and Aloy sucks, but they are visually top tier.

>>724174223WoW unironically.
>>724217315It's not particularly pretty, it looks like every boring AAA game, and it's certainly not a 7.
>>724207829I could cry. Playing on PS2 hardware and pulling off crazy vistas and post processing effects was mindblowing. And the music...It's a once-in-a-generation game.
>>724236389Sovl
>>724237329A game made by a single otaku girl. Yeah, it looks good
>>724230650Funny how everyone takes a screenshot of that place.The first few regions are a bit dull, but everything from the leg onwards (> five pebbles > the wall > sky islands > farm arrays > subterranean > depths) is so memorable.

>>724180032How does this look worse than Tsushima? kek
>>724223323Top genuinely looks like the graphics from a cutscene in Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.
>>724230098For me it's Eversong Wods
>>724238048Ion Maiden?
>>724238107the new episodes look pretty good
>>724238204I know they revamped the zone (or at least Silvermoon City), I hope they didn't fuck it up too bad
>>724238048Ion fury was gorgeous
>>724174223Phantasy Star
>>724237453I would agree with you. If any other generation had a game half as good as SotC.
>>724238335YeahGood thing that they hired these mod developers because they do incredible things with Quake
>>724238048>>724238107>>724238373This is ugly as hell dude
>>724237839It is a source mod

>>724238362Seems the Ghostlands are pretty much completely healed along with the dead scar
>>724238305YeahPure soul
>>724181886Bethesda games all have phenomenal art direction. That is until Fallout 4 dropped the ball due to Bethesda’s OG art director dying.
>>724179487It was the last of its kind and pretty much the ultimate 'what if we had pre-rendered backgrounds in full 3d'. There might never be anything as good.
>>724238670huh, rare soulmakes me wonder how they're handling the leveling experience there, though
I feel as though Dishonored is one of the best looking games ever made. Top 10 at least. The game is more than a decade old, and aside from texture quality, it hasn’t aged a day.
>>724238697
wtf are you yapping about, the game looks like ass on PC
>>724238850Yeah it looks alright, although the quests will probably be "Help two gay blood elves buy eachother anniversary gifts" or something
>>724238886The stylised art style helps making it feel ageless. Luv Dishonored and luv Dunwall
Spyro
onirism has some pretty good visuals
wuwa
>>724238886Dishonored is definitely a champ
>>724237508Nah she had a team helping her out for the Steam release, the older versions of the mod were all her thoughG-String proves to me if this autist can finish her magnum opus mapping/modding project one day after that long, so can I
>>724234769Seethe harder for me
>>724238994How? It mogs most games that are coming out today purely on art style alone. >>724239260Spyro has one of the most unique and surreal aesthetics of any game I've ever played that no game has been able to recpature. It's hard to put into words.
>>724238886>>724239097>>724239880It might not have the same level of stealth as Thief, but Dishonored is genuinely one of the best games ever made. I'm still finding new things each time I replay it. Arkane is one of the best studios around.
>>724239989>Spyro has one of the most unique and surreal aesthetics of any game I've ever played that no game has been able to recpature. It's hard to put into words.The original trilogy has great dreamlike visuals
>>724240167Good image. Very Lynchian.
>>724174223doesnt matter the game is literally turn turbo on and hold down 1 button and theres zero exploration, booooring
>>724228413Fontaine was pretty damn ugly above ground. I can't think of a single area that looked good. It was great underwater though.
>>724231361Right? The original wasn't even that good since it was just a PS4 game but somehow the PS5 sequel looks worse as far as I've seen. It could just be the PC version being upgraded somehow though. Which the sequel might get too.
>>724203061i liked re5 for one specific reason and it starts with the letter n and what u got to do to them
>>724240719ugh, soulmeru...
>>724234769Natlan seethers are something else.
>>724176902>>724187346>the texture work is immaculate

>>724209235Holy fucking kino
>>724240912I wouldn't have gone that far and I was joking with the Vaan pic but I'll kinda support the other guy's argument with these images I threw together.I actually think FF12 is pretty bland overall but if you like the aesthetic I can see where he's coming from.
>>724174223recently been playing this and I've really enjoyed the environments
>>724239260home...
>>724240117I love it. I just wish it wasn't a dead franchise but I suppose after death of the outsider I should be grateful.
>>724242073Sovl
>>724223672Not him, but I haven't played the first two ff13 games, but lightning returns is probably my favorite rpg of all time.
I LOVE SHITLAN
>>724242386XIII-2 is my favorite of the trilogy. It's not an amazing game by any means but it's fun and has a lot of SOVL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRYgA3dNwCE
>>724209206Even within the space of JRPG style overworlds with diorama proportions, it's not even close to the best. Even if you want to exclude PS1 games for being too low poly, Ni No Kuni's world shits on E33.

>>724243174
>>724242519sorry sir we're not allowed to post Natlan in this thread.Natlan bad
>>724198109Just 7 trillion more years until the remake, bro. I'm sure they're taking all this time to also add CCC to it and new secret Liz route.
>>724223672I finally decided to play it myself after hearing about it for so long. I'm currently at around 20 hours of linearity so far. I don't mind at all since the environments are so gorgeous. I don't think the story has been particularly nonsensical after they revealed more of how the world works and the factions etc, and the characters haven't been that bad so far in my opinion. Some of them are pretty anime-cliche for lack of a better term but that's about it. Oh and the music is great too. Just goes to show that I should just try games instead of reading about them.
>>724243174>>724243248ELDEN KINO
>>724243174sekiro was such an artistic game and it was FUN too, unlike other soulslops
I liked the art direction for Control. Everything else is ehh
>>724183008With absolutely no intent to cause drama, you should earnestly check out Wuthering Waves. I absolutely love taking screenshots in that game, especially with the addition of raytracing
>>724243362>>724243505I'm salty about these games. Finally played BB this year but it was just a beta test for DS3. And ER was super soulless, didn't even finish it.
>>724243505
>>724238516Well, they have re-released sotc every generation since.
>>724174223FFXIII does look spectacular to this day
>>724243476i forgot they even announced the remake

>>724223912honestly, the level design is pretty all over the place in this game. I think it could have benefitted from a more open structure like a Zelda game, cause it was already aping the Zelda franchise so much anyways
>>724180314your screenshots look like shit, the game is fine for what it is on an artistic level, on the tech side is top tier
>>724246124Those are actual colors. I know those are confusing for someone who likes the blurred smeared desaturated shit look of E33.

>>724246921Pillars of Eternity
>>724246830needs more bloom
>>724238886That's what Ankh-Morpork looks like in my head
>>724247078Is it good if I'm looking for a Fallout 1/2 type game with lots of different solutions to quest lines or is it more combat focused?
>>724218004are there visually equivalent 3d games?
>>724247131Try Atom RPG.
>>724246985I'm not sure if that Vanille's vanilla
LOTRO, old-ish school kinvm...
>>724247131Yes. Picrel is an early quest in game that has multiple ways to infiltrate the castle and the quest here has multiple endings too. The main story branches near the end where you have to pick a solution to solve it and there are multiple, which affect the ending as well as your import save for deadfire. There is combat but I don't think it too overwhelming but they are bringing a turn based mode out soon which you may prefer.
>>724174223If Square had any sense they'd release a remaster. It's ripe for reevaluation.
>>724247131It does have consequences, factions but its inspiration was more in the vein of old school BG/IWD. Where it shines is world building and lore. Combat is fun and I enjoy the rtwp but I think they added turn based (may just be in no 2). 2 had great visuals and some of the best tooltip info systems but really lacked in the lore/environment.
>>724247078pre-rendered backgrounds is the ultimate form of art in video games
>>724247408Word, I'll check it out.

>>724246947Hard to find good screenshots but I thought the environments were very FFXIII inspired.
>>724247663Yeah that was neat. The female narrator's voice is grating though. And I couldn't care less about all these damn shitskin and native factions so I can't help myself from killing everyone in every play through.

>>724249436It's just an ugly version of the 2000s earthy LotR style with bad character design and awful bloom and saturation.
Not a single mention of No Rest For The Wicked. For shame.
