Beautiful Game Appreciation

[Zloth]

Now let's get into Witcher 2. The graphics have improved... rather a lot.

Let's appreciate beautiful games.

From the obvious picks like Witcher 3

View attachment 12

to less obvious picks like Divinity Original Sin 2

Or perhaps more stylized games like Darkest Dungeon

All is free to post as long as it tickles one of your aesthetic senses.

So go ahead and show us good looking games. ^^

I haven't played Darkest Dungeon but I know that art style anywhere!!

Oh wow, I have a shot almost exactly like your last one @Frindis! The camera is just a tiny bit closer and has the "Hearts of Stone" title on it. You must have taken that shot a second before the title showed up!

Troll's Dawn

Arch Pond

Deep Forest

Boat in the Trees

 

[Frindis]

Yeah, was happy with that one Had a lot of fun with that expansion. Good story, believable characters, and a lot of fun quests. The caretaker fight was pretty badass and you actually had to think a little and not just smash your way through him. Tempted to try out Witcher 2 as I never really managed to play through it because of a shitty computer. It looked beautiful, but choppy as hell for me, unfortunately.

Asgard's Wrath

You're picking that bear's nose!!

You're picking that bear's nose!!

Nonsense .....I merely booped his snoot ....which he did not appreciate as much as I'd hoped.

Witcher in the Mists

Tentacle from the (not so deep) Depths

Snoozing Guard

Stare Down

That first shot doesn't look like much when you just look at it in the forum thread but, when you click on it and make it full screen, oooooo! The tower off in the distance is great!

Horizon Zero Dawn

Last of the Witcher 2's

Finally, time for some Witcher 3!

You're sure this was developed in Poland? Not England?

In many ways, the first area of this game could be called The Two Towering Trees

The little graphics glitches on the right of this one are 3D Vision artifacts - the game engine didn't thing those textures would be drawn

Beauclair Palace from the Tourny Grounds (Blood & Wine DLC)

some recent RDR2

 

[Zloth]

Hmmm, not as good as RD2's...

 

[Zloth]

Ciri close up

One of these birds is not like the others...

Home away from castle

Red Witcher 3?

Four from Witcher 3: Blood & Wine

And one from late in the main game

Lara was found a ship stuck in a cave deep in the jungle but this tops even that! This is a beached as it gets without going to another planet.

Fancy picnic

Fyke Tower

I really loved this rock formation in Blood & Wine but the game never really said anything about it. There was a fort or some such in between but no lore at all that I could find. I couldn't even find a name for them so just called them The Fangs.

 

[Frindis]

I really liked the picnic one. That side-quest is pretty, pretty romantic I have not been on top of those fangs yet, but I reckon one of them got a place of power. Perhaps they just made the rock formation out of the general vampire theme for that DLC. It is a cool screenshot, especially with the moon behind and that lonely flower trying to survive on that rocky/gravel surface.

 

[Zloth]

Can see Fyke Tower from here

No, my name is not Perrin Aybara.

One day, the sword will rise again (in Poland)

Wyverns are sneakier than I thought

First real playthrough of Minecraft after dipping my toes a few times years ago. The ray tracing effects really do make a big difference to the visuals. Pretty stunning.
