Beautiful Game Appreciation

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga

Absolute cinema 👐

It's a pity that I can't post my screenshots here, so I'll have to share a link to someone's walkthrough.

More from Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth

Smirking Soldiers

Guys, do we need to enforce a dress code here? That's not proper beach attire.

Yuffie getting revenge

And a bonus from Baldur's Gate 3

I know those aren't beholders, but I don't think a couple of pointed sticks are going to be enough.

More FF7 Rebirth

Aerith doing something that looked a lot like a FFX sending

How does he get something from under the front desk!?

The Tifa/Yuffie buzzsaw

The classic Sephiroth moment

 

[Zloth]

More FF7 Remake

Scarlet hanging around with some uglies

Yuffie riding Red XIII

Roche

Whaaaa?

FF7 Rebirth - last batch

Tifa kicking dragon tail

Damn teenagers thinking they are immortal! Get AWAY from the ledge, Yuffie!

That is just so disturbing. Half those things are monsters and the one on his head is a DEADLY monster! And they're making a toy out of it!? Who would make a cute toy based on a monster!? Oh. OK. Seems people are more insane than I thought.

Mommy, let's go on an adventure!

Talos Principle 2

Hexahedrons are back!

Green & Blue Meditations

A flame of Prometheus. Get it, and you can skip a puzzle of your choice.

This is a game of inches

More Talos Principle 2

I went to that far tower and back way too many times

Cold marsh senset

Lovely place, but watch your step!

Kitty Backpack

Yes, this should be enough power for my AI. Barely.

The interface (if you aren't interacting with anything) is pretty minimal

Oh, what a tangled web I weave...

 

[Frindis]

@Zloth I wonder if Talos could be one of the first puzzle games that has this kind of photo mode. It also sounds like something you would not care much about in a puzzle game, but screenshot-wise, it does look pretty cool for that game. Maybe it makes more sense for Talos since it is more narrative-driven? I remember there being a lot of text you could comb through.

@Zloth I wonder if Talos could be one of the first puzzle games that has this kind of photo mode.

It would take some research to find out if it's THE first, but it certainly is an early adopter! There wouldn't be much point with all the 2D puzzle games, and the 3D puzzlers rarely have this level of graphics.

My first picture using the photo mode in BG3.

Talos Principle 2

Nice day for checkers...

Or yodeling!

From Baldur's Gate 3

Karlach showing off her l33t balance skills!

Eve, from Stellar Blade

Into the Elden Ring
(Minimal GUI on this one, and no hot-key to turn it off, so I frequently get lazy and leave it on)

Out of the tutorial with just 2 deaths.

They do make nice sunsets

Very nice sunsets!

The land of lakes - so I now think of it as Wisconsin.

 

[Zloth]

More Elden Ring

Yeahhhh, I don't think I'm going to keep wearing this helmet.

Why does the fantasy sky have a more realistic number of stars than the realistic games!?

Playing it cool.

 

[Zloth]

More Elden Ring

Buggy game

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with D

Camping out at a grace

I said you could have a kiss, not a BITE!

 

[Zloth]

More Elden Ring...

I am SO going to get ambushed!

Moody

I think I'll go reaper...

NO! You'll eat them!!

 

[Zloth]

More Elden Ring (sorry, put this in the wrong topic!)

I'm a nice person, I swear!

Me & my shadow

That sure is a steep river, with no 'whitewater' at all.

Look carefully at that boss' feet. He's actually riding a horse! That must be the strongest horse ever known.

Thats Leonard! Theres lore around Radahn being very good at Gravity based magic.

Spoiler: Mild spoilers if you havent done any backtracking.

I think its after you beat him, if you go back to Liurnia youll find a rift in the ground where the rune bear forest was with a whole new underground area to explore. I assume its because whatever Radahn was holding up in the sky has now crashed there.

Yeah, and it sends up a bunch of rocks that just float up there which you can see for miles! As long as you're paying attention, you should see it.

Now, what the heck is THIS little island you can barely see in this screenshot?

It's just north of the Shaded Castle (the one with all the rot pools), but the fog makes it so that I haven't been able to see it from there. This shot is from the northern tip of Mt. Whatever-is-next-to-Valcano-Manner. It's not just some rock sticking up, those are towers around it's north side!

Might as well catch up on screenshots while I'm at it:

Come on, all I want is a screenshot of the sunset and ruins reflected in the water, and you have to summon some giant skeleton thing to kill me for it!?

I am NOT a witch, so there is no danger of some girl using a tornado to throw a house at me just so she can steal my shoes.

The game likes using cliffs to keep the player from running right to the end game. Works for me - they make for wonderful screenshots!

Entrance to the capital... which I still haven't gone into (voluntarily). I guess I should wander in some day...

Some snaps from my latest Dark Souls run:

Studio Ghibli inspiration 100%!

Named Sif, but was thinking of the spirit wolf Moro from the Princess Mononoke movie.

Poor guy does not know what is about to happen.

Long-legged covenant lady

Going to be my new wallpaper!

In the Catacombs using a couple of items to help navigate the dark (Helmet and Skull Lantern)

The darkness in Dark Souls is some of (if not) the best I have seen in video games. Here is with some help from gear and without just so you guys can see the difference. Now, imagine how it would be to walk around in almost pitch black while hearing the noises of nearby enemies. I'm just happy I have some light with me or it would have been completely terrifying!

That reminds me of this iconic gif:

Jupp, that exact dog thingy scared the living bejesus of me👻

Now I am trying my best to kill the boss down there, a boss that is even more scarier and just a pain in the butt. It's one of them bosses that makes you feel like you are just running super slow in some nightmare and you just know you are going to die soon. What the boss looks like:

Spoiler: Gravelord Nito

 

[Zloth]

What a... calcium rich boss. Calcium is like teeth. So, put a bunch of sugar on it, then spit on the thing a lot. It will get cavities and fall apart!
