Beautiful Game Appreciation

[Frindis]

@Zloth Noe idea what city it is, but sure looks nice though. That daemonic scorcher did look a bit nasty and I thought it proooooobably was a good idea to sneak past him. I did try to shoot at some kind of fire robots not far from that camp and my attacks did absolutely nothing to them. Strangely enough, the damage I did in the starter zone did the same damage even if I was LVL 10, which made me think that enemies would just scale to your level.

I'm going to venture forth later today or tomorrow and see just how far I can get around there and maybe even find some nice loot that I can use to upgrade my low-level character. I'm guessing that if the enemy is high level, the loot will be also, meaning more metal shards. Yaaaarrr!

Continuing on with my God of War playthrough, this is my favorite shot since my last post.

Kratos is going to have some SERIOUS sunburn issues if he stays there for any length of time!

Surfing on a Tallneck


Above "Tutorial Valley"


Just call me Lara

@Zloth Tried to hit a tallneck last week, I swear it was an accident! The arrow would bounce off it and the tallneck sloooowly leaving me in the dust.

This one isn't particularly pretty, but I think it's interesting. This isn't looking toward anything on the game map, but the tower looks to me like the spire near Midian.

Photo mode lets you do different poses and facial expressions. For whatever reason, though, there's no "smile" option!?

As mentioned in Sward's thread: Elden Ring - What do you score it? I dwelled deep into the content to find something to defeat Margit with and here are some of the screenshots from my adventure.

That looks awesome! I want to experience that game without actually having to, y'know, play a Dark Souls game. XD (I'm sure they're great for the people who like them, but based on everything I've seen and heard, it would be an exercise in pure frustration for me.)

If it's moddable, someone will produce 'god mode' where you're invincible. Of course you may need to kill some opponents to trigger an event, so you may have a bit of whack-a-mole to endure—but looks worth it. I may do similar with God of War at some stage.

Nice place for a picnic

I've got a baaaad feeling about this

This is modeled after a real place

That's a deathbringer!!

Bryce Canyon?

Lovely shot of the girl—she's a metal fan, right?

Bryce Canyon?

Yep!

More Horizon: Zero Dawn

Setting up silhouette shot number two hundred thirty... wait, I think I heard something?

Night before the end game

LED lighting is much cooler in the future

We're in Montana now!

Screenshots from Subnautica: Below Zero. I've got a bunch more, but I would rather avoid anything even slightly spoilerish for that game.

Trying to show the hoopfish the pretty sunset. It didn't care.

Another shot of my boring base with pretty lighting.

pretty lighting

That's the sun on the ocean surface, yeah? Lovely effect.

 

[Zloth]

Thanks! Yeah, that's an orange sky as seen through the water.

Starting up on Greedfall's screenshots (i.e. I finally got around to sorting them out)

Treebeard is getting really hasty

The game is consistently pretty

 

[Brian Boru]

consistently pretty

Lighting looks off to me in the last one.
Sun is top right, yet rays brighten side of guy's face which should be in shadow.

General shadows seem to range from strong—with no obvious cause—to weak. Eg just right of guy's chest slanting NE is a strong shadow with no cause, only skinny little trees. Then there are only weak shadows on the solid objects to his left.

Such Qs aside, it does look very nice

 

[Zloth]

You mean in the last picture? That's one of the 'god rays' between the camera and the character. It's not lighting his face, it's lighting the "dust" between your eye and his face. BUT, that's still wrong - if there was that much dust, you wouldn't be able to see very far at all!

I'm not sure what you're talking about wrt shadows (you don't say which picture!), but I don't doubt it. This game screams 'cheap' pretty constantly throughout. But it still comes out pretty!
