Beautiful Game Appreciation

Yes R* have really set a standard with open world games.

My old 1060 just doesn't like it.

Same card here. You got 3GB or 6GB VRAM?

Same card here. You got 3GB or 6GB VRAM?

Yes I've got the 6Gb. It is a real work horse and was a free EVGA replacement for some massive card I had before, which had a fan failure.

It was interesting trying different graphics setting in Legion and watching the VRAM hit the red and the FPS dive.

She, one of my favourite characters is actually taking a selfie, hovering on a cargo drone over the river Thames.

Oh yes it runs both games no problem but I usually run some of the settings on High. I was just trying to get better screenshots. So I turned some up for latter which is Legion and the card was struggling a bit. Thanks.

The former is GTAV.

It'll be interesting when I do update card to see just how much better all games can look.

We shot that one REALLY hard, leaving nothing but a smoking pair of legs!

 

[ipman]

@Zloth It's interesting isn't it, what is perceived as beautiful. So for example SofW isn't a beautiful location, it's just a back drop for action. But some of Talion's armour with it's detailed and colourfully embroided cloths are I think beautiful.

Same with GTAV, the location is just a back drop, but the cars are beautiful I think.

(I was going to suggest an open photography competition, but those with higher quality systems would have to start with a handicap)

IMGbox works.

 

[ipman]

I enjoy this, I go snowboarding in the Alps(beautiful if you like all white), then do a rally in Sweden, then over to Los Santos for a car chase, and then it's lopping off orks heads. Tough day around here

 

[ipman]

As a side quest, how about show the most prized item in your game. I'm still trying to get the Wraithgiver in SofW. Here's Aloy's Sheild Weaver armour.

I like how in HZD they show the remnants of the old world; a dam, a plane, wind turbines, rusty cars and swings.

 

[Zloth]

?? Most prized item in which game?

 

[Zloth]

X4: Foundations has a free update along with the new DLC. Part of that free update is new "builder" ships (ships that can build space stations). When the game released, everybody's builder ship looked like it was made by the Argons. Now, finally, they are more individualized.

 

[ipman]

How about a completely different aerial shot(SofW not known for visuals). Talion goes home by dragon.

 

[ipman]

Started playing Days Gone again. It is quite a good depiction of a post virus world, where basics are invaluable. (+being a biker it appeals) .

I will start with my first Game. Unreal Tournament 2004.

This and Half-life 2 was the first games I bought back in 2004. I do not have many screens from back then, sadly nothing in 4K goodness. I am not sure you can still install and play now. I have it on Steam. I do have a few Animated Gifs

Deep map.

Botanic map.

A Thread I will love very much

Fallout 4.

My most played game on Steam- over 3000 hours. I have completed it and from saves seen most of the endings. It might be another if I played as a raider, not sure. As a fact I went back to an older save so I can play on. I do not wish to lose my settlements.

Though I have and play many other games, I still get back to this game a few times a month, and still find new stuff, or make changes to my settlements. I am trying to get 1 at 100% for the achievement. I have tried everything and cannot get or do it. I do not use 3rd party mods. I have bought added some Official Creation Club stuff, skins, cribs, Enclave Armor etc.

Recently Beth, gave a patch that added a few new things to this and Skyrim, and 4K Goodness
I guess in the future I will be able to add links to some of my youtube videos, maybe tours of my settlements. Some players that use 3rd party mods have way nice settlements. I play the stock game, so stuff does not snap together well, and placement of extra little things is not so easy either. I do my best and have spent a lot of hours in my builds. I mostly like the glass walls etc, I also try to mix it up some, and depends on where the settlement is.

So, a few screens, maybe some videos-->

A Thread I will love very much

It took me 18 pages (25 posts per page for me) to get through all my games in alphabetical order. And I was only doing my favorites that were, in some way, pretty.

P.S. Wow, lots of broken images back there now. Heck, there are broken images here on page 28!

 

[Lil Dyslexic doG]

Zloth

Do you mean images not showing on page anymore. If so yah, its kind of sad. Sites say free account, upload to us etc, then later they go under or want you to pay and then say your free account is to large. You need delete some of your stuff. I used imgur for these. Have used others in past and they all change after a while it seems. Off site and links is less server space and or maybe bandwidth on this end. versus this site host all the images etc. Some sites host and allow links. Again later might drop the on-site hosting and you have nothing. Is also good to keep backups.

I have 1000s of games but most are not anything I will ever play. Got them in bundles when trying to get to a certain number. Now days I only buy stuff I will play. Still have many I will get to when I feel like it. I always keep certain games installed that I regular play or for say co-op if friends want to play. I cant keep all I have installed. I normally play something finish and delete it. If wish for achievements or something later reinstall and go back. Or reinstall if build a new system and higher res monitor. I play all my games max settings even if get lower fps. I dont need a million fps as long as its smooth and can record fine. I am good.

The screens etc is part of the fun for me. Share and talk about the games. Maybe someone has problems and try to help if can.. Sorry I tried to quote you and clicked it but I am not sure how to do it or how it works. I do not know how to like or thumb up a post either. I see no place to do it.

Thanks for the like and convo. Have fun

You can't Like at first. When they let everyone with an account do likes, it got crazy fast.

The "Quote" think is for quoting more than one message. You click the ones you want to respond to, then click the 'insert quotes' button that appears just below where you type messages. If you just respond to one message, the Reply will quote just the one message.

I agree on backups - you can't trust websites to keep your images for you. This site has been very good about keeping them, though!

 

[Lil Dyslexic doG]

Cool.

Games with DLSS type settings are new for me. I pretty much max everything and dlss to quality and sharpness to 20 to 40. Love this 4070Ti. When bought it cost less than 3080-80ti 3090- 90ti performance up with the 90Ti. or better FPS in some games. The 90ti has 2x the memory and bud speed. The 3080 was 100 to 170 more in cost- the 3090Ti more than 1000. Granted I think all cost maybe 100- 150 more than should but was scalpers and covid type stuff. My 4070Ti use less energy puts out less heat than the 3000 cards, and the fans not crazy loud, and cost less. Loving 4K so far.

God of War

Great game. Runs nice, looks awesome in 4K. I finished this game. I still have it installed. Is some areas and boss type things kick my butt. I will try for more achievements. I thought I would lev up and end of game go back to the few areas, but the boss type things show me they run it or for now- lol.

This 1st shot is my screen background now. I like the dark contrast and bright pretty out of the window-->

I tried to quote

This may partly depend on which browser you're using—I'm using Opera GX, the browser designed for gamers.

I'm almost always replying to a specific statement, rather than an entire sentence-paragraph-post. So I highlight the bit I want—eg your "I tried to quote" above—and then click the 'Reply' button just underneath it, which gives me the quote above.

If I want to address another bit, I repeat this, eg:

As Zloth said, you'll get access to more features shortly—we're a major spam target and so had to put various limits on new accounts… btw you'll probably trip over weird new first posts from members who just joined before we get to them, just ignore
More info:

Announcement - Limitations on New Forum Accounts

Hey folks, In an effort to combat spam on these forums, we've implemented some restrictions on new accounts that some of you may run into. While not being able to use every feature can be frustrating for new users, having a forum filled with spam is even worse, so we're doing our best to ride...

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Another sweet game. Big fun, funny at times. Some areas the color really pops in 4K. I finished this game, still installed. Think I will try for more achievements. The game bugged once. I could not progress, some monster thing of 5 or so did not spawn in right. I think it was stuck under the floor or something. A restart of the game fixed it, and the save was right before. So no biggy. If I see any real probs, is maybe the in-game tutorial was all for a game pad and not keyboard and mouse.

Thanks Brian.

I am using Edge. I think I got it now, sweet. Yes, I understand about the spam etc. and will try not get hacked lol.
