Why does this game look so BAD?

It's a Taro game. He had like 15 dollars budget as usual.

>>379084598
$14 of which went to license denuvo because you know that's important.

Why didn't SE fire him like they fired Hitman devs and closed Deus Ex development?
At least those franchises earned money and were not shit like Taro's garbage.

all the polygons were used up in 2b's ass

>>379084295
>tfw NieR will always be that unpolished, clunky game in one aspect or another
I don't know what to feel

>>379085312
because taro is friends with/black mailing someone up high at square enix.

>>379085312
Because hit man has never been a good franchise.

>>379084295
>playing the pc version
we fucking warned you

>>379085312
Taro is a freelancer, SE just throw some money at him sometimes.
>At least those franchises earned money and were not shit
Hitman has always been trash and the last Deus Ex flopped, Automata probably made more money.

>>379084295
>Why does this game look so BAD?
It's Platinum Games dude.

>>379084295
Because it's japanese

>>379084295
>playing a 1280 game at 1920
you momma always said you were special, huh. you also set your snes emulator to widescreen?

>M-M-MUH GRAPHICS
This is why games are becoming more and more shit. Thanks for being part of the problem. Gotta make sure it looks far better than it plays, right?

>>379084295
I can't actually think of a single time when I've seen a ruined 21st century city in a videogame and thought "Wow, this actually looks pretty nice"

>>379085725
>Hitman has always been trash
Hitman is fucking amazing social stealth shooter, newfriendo.

>>379086315
Yeah, go tell that to Square. Can't wait for them to give the yearly 20 dollars to Taro to make DoD 5 while you get nothing except maybe another terrible movie reboot.

>>379085587
>playing the pc version
>we fucking warned you

?
Are you implying that PS4 version look better?

>begin route B
>get the joke ending in the beginning
>have to go through the beginning sequence with the robot again
Fuck you Taro.

>>379085239
Nah, Denuvo was free. Square Enix has thousands of copies of it.

>>379086531
Square is as dead as Konami, they are both retarded losers who can't catch up things in the modern world. They are becoming obsolete.

I think it looks pretty good once you use FAR at least. Sure it's not stunning but the GI is used nicely and the lighting is great, especially in the desert and the factory

>>379086908
FAR doesn't help you make it look good, it only helps you make it look worse if you are so inclined.

>>379084295
Because it's not a triple A title

>>379086669
I did this like 3-4 different times. It's just not fucking obvious where the mech suit is.

I fucking hated that robot. [So much pleasure in smashing him later in the game.]

>>379085312
You can't fire someone who doesn't work for you.

Wow it's almost like games should be designed holistically and every part of them matters, you collossal fucking moron

>>379087341
You are the moron fucking faggot graphics are not everything

go play horishit derp zero

>>379086967
It makes it run at whatever rez you want so I'm fine with that, game looks nice regardless, especially the side scrolling sections

>>379087248
Nigger i got the joke ending on purpose.
But why the fuck dont you spawn as 9S again once you continue after the credits?
Why do i have to play as the slow ass robot again?

>>379087474
You don't save as 9s. It follows previously established game logic. If you eat the fish in your first play you start at your last save.

>>379084295
Graphics fags are like top 3 blights on the industry. Games with great graphics are often shitty, games with great gameplay are never shitty.

>>379087341
If every part mattered, we wouldn't have so many shit games because the gameplay would be better and the focus wouldn't immediately always be on graphics.

>>379087450
I can run at whatever res I want even without FAR. Once you get the game to run at native 1080P or higher by fiddling with alt-enter it stays there.

Worked for me on both Displayport and HDMI.

>>379087681
Cool story, degenerate.

>>379087817
Nice response, underage.

>>379087795
Well it also does shit like make bloom and ao fit your res which is a minor but noticeable improvement, also turning GI to high stopped all framedrops

>>379088092
I never had any framedrops to begin with, but I was using a GTX 980. The game does like quad buffered vsync, it's smooth as silk.

>>379087681
Idiots like you that push this false dichotomy are the true cancer.

Many jap devs are still stuck in ps2-era levels of graphics tech and mentality towards graphics tech, Platinum being one of them

>>379087943
Don't reply to my posts, you cancerous filth.

>>379088202
No we're really not. We're the cure. The fact is that devs have to decide to focus on something and when you fucking dorks cry about your precious textures they decide to focus on that shit instead of stuff that matters.

>>379088338
Don't you ever speak to me like that again.

>>379087438
You are incapable of reading, kill yourself.
>>379087756
>the focus wouldn't immediately always be on graphics.
So you live in a fantasy world. Got it.

>>379088202
He's not completely wrong but he's also not completely right. Good gameplay is great but just gameplay alone isn't always what will make a game good. The same thing can be said about graphics. What most devs do, is put more focus on one thing, mainly graphics if you pay attention to anything.

>>379088451
Pretty sure I live on earth.

>>379085312
Nier and Automata are better than every Hitman game and everu Deus Ex.
That said its a shame those games fell. They finally put out a good Hitman game after the shitshow that was Absolution, and even if Mankind Divided was a disappointment, one mistake doesn't deserve a closing of development. Human Revolution was fantastic.

>>379088623
>Nier and Automata are better than every Hitman game and everu Deus Ex.
Nah.

>>379084295

60 fps on console.

#1 The game was clearly made on a budget, and in 2 years at that. The most expensive parts of game development are marketing and asset creation. This game wasn't in development for all that long, and they didn't have the budget to fill out or polish the world. It's also not a Triple A title either.

#2 The game is, according to Kaldaien, Durante and DrDoxxy, running on a modified version of Metal Gear Rising's engine. And THAT shit had its own set of issues to begin with.

#3 Platinum Games are not art or tech powerhouses. I don't think they've ever created a game that has superb art direction or is technically sound. The closest they've gotten is Bayonetta 2.

>>379085312
The latest Hitman and Deus Ex were huge flops. Automata was a massive success from what was expected. Taro games were always a very minor part of SE, and had very little corporate meddling, although that's probably going to change now that Square has "agressive plans" for Nier

>>379088792
When you look at the ground?

>>379085587
The PC version is great though
>My toaster can't run the game at max settings
Lower the settings or download the lighting mod.
>Fullscreen doesn't work properly
Download borderless gaming.

Congratulations, you have the best version of the game now.

>>379088385
You have no idea how game development works, so stop pushing your way into every fucking thread that dares mention graphics so that you can share your hot opinions and fellate yourself for them. Like an invading /pol/fag.

Hitman Blood Money is better than every Taro game as it's an actual GAME. Not a glorified movie with garbage gameplay tacked on.

>>379088653
It makes sense, videogames are a visual medium. Consumers have a certain standard they hold video games to, just like how a film maker can't shit out some 1920s looking shit at 15fps these days.

>>379088847
>The latest Deus Ex were huge flops.

Yeah I wonder whose fault is that.

>>379088792
No it isn't
Its 60fps with some drops. And OP posted a .jpg image, so he's clearly not talking about the framerate

It's a 60fps game, what do you expect? These are not easy to pull-off on console with their smartphone Cpu's.

Of-course is gonna look bad on PC too since it's a console port.

>>379088930
I'm pretty comfortable up on my soapbox friend. I'm also fellating myself for preferring gameplay to graphics because it literally makes me a better person than you.

Good graphics are easy, just download ue4 and buy some assets, bad graphics show that the device at least did it themselves

>>379088936
>Nier
>movie
But Nier has almost no cutscenes, and what cutscenes it has last no longer than 2 minutes if that. How can it be a movie?

>>379089001
>>379088792
Reminder that all the Battlefield games have been 60fps on console despite being a thousand times better looking with a hundred times more shit going on aswell.

>>379089001
But it looks even worse on console. It doesn't look good on anything.

Exactly.

FAR + 1440p = 60 fps with a solid 16.6ms frame time. Liquid smooth gameplay.

Put heavy blade in main and fists in second slot. Attack with sword and then use the fists. You'll see 2B/A2 drive a fucking homerun into enemies.

are you fucking retarded?

>>379088936
Frogposter pretending he's played a meme game to fit in, how cute

>>379089191
Are you? You can't measure framerate in a still image

>>379089161
Because it's not an open world game. It's a hub and spoke system.

Everything branches off from City Ruins.

This is the style of world we got back on the PS1 and some SNES games.

>>379088907
>>379088980

"Attempeted" 60fps then, to clarify having a more complicated environment to render will cause greater drops.

>>379084295
i said this since launch, it looks like fucking sonic 06

>>379089396
But there are games that actually achieve consistent 60fps on consoles, and some look better than this. So what happened here?

>>379084295
All the GRFX work went to polishing 2Booty and other fapbait characters. World geometry and textures are potato tier with most levels being a parade of cubes and wall textures being easily seen as visibly repeated.

>>379088623
Hahahaha what a delusional weeb
Keep dreaming kid
no one cares about your weeb garbage

>>379089637
Nier isn't even weeb

>>379089396
Yup, the engine clearly isn't designed for areas as big as this. You can reliably recreate framerate drops when the game starts streaming in the data for an upcoming location (running towards the desert entrance from the city, for example).

>>379089667
Nier is the most weeb garbage i ever seen

>>379089191
>>379089283
Nevermind I'm retarded I get it now. Its because they were trying to achieve 60fps on a PS4 that it looks like that is what he's trying to say. I thought he was saying something else.

Though that still doesn't excuse it, since there are better looking better running games on the system

>>379089667
Except it is and the product is meant to be played in Japan ONLY. All concerts, art books, novels and other shit is distributed in Japan ONLY.

>>379089757
Have you heard of the Tales of or Persona series?
>>379089775
The Zelda Twilight Princess manga didn't come to the West until this year. Are you telling me that game was a weeb game intended for Japanese audiences only too?

>>379089775
How does that make it a weeb game?
Do you even know what a weeaboo is?

This game only got made because Taro was friends with someone high up on the ladder who stuck their neck out to vouch for him.

>>379089865
You seem to be the one who doesn't actually understand it, newfriendo.

>>379089620

I'm no expert but it could be a number of things, as >>379089671 points out the engine it's built around might not of compensated for the large open area of the game. It would certainly explain why pop-in is such a big issue.

>>379090253
I've been here since 2006, buddy.
Now answer the question.

>>379084295
But muh goty masterpiece

>>379084295
what i want to know, why does the game look so BAD and why is it so UNOPTIMIZED

>>379089843
>The Zelda Twilight Princess manga didn't come to the West until this year. Are you telling me that game was a weeb game intended for Japanese audiences only too?

If weebs desire to play it then it's a weeb game.

> Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to "be Japanese".

Sounds EXACTLY like Taro's weeb-fanbase outside of Japan.

Obviously Japanese people can't be weebs, you fucking retards.

>hitman was always trash
>nier better than any deus ex
>nier not even weeb
Holy fucking LAMAO. And taroshills wonder why everyone hate them and their meme game

>>379090967
>meme game
I'm sure that's a sound reasoning to hate something. Because it's a "meme" since people like it and you don't. Memes were a mistake and so was the word and idiots like yourself.

>>379090967
I'm not a huge taro guy but I still think hitman was always on the low tier of stealth games.

>>379091519
Hitman was never a stealth game, moron. You obviously never even played it.

>>379084295
low budget

>>379092283
What is it?

>>379085312
because as op said, it looks like garbage,

because it didn't have a huge budget, and SE didn't spend millions on marketing for it to flop unlike the games you cited

>>379092785
A social experience

All of Taro's budget goes towards buying throat lozenges for Emi Evans.

>>379085312
Wew, that's some projection there. Maybe it's because they didn't have to make a new expensive engine for it? Maybe because it's low budget as fuck? Maybe because it sold 1.5 million which is a quarter of FFXv, but probably didn't even cost 1/50 of it.

>>379092962
and probably a healthy dose of nippon strong gosaimasu protectionism

>hitman/deus ex fags vs nier fags
Please no

>>379092283
That's how it was marketed. I played the first two then dropped the series.
