It's not b8 when it's true.

Consoles have essentially ruined gaming. All we can do is wait for the next crash.

I agree my fellow PC master race redditor. Total Biscuit FTW!

Thanks gay of thrones for killing creativity across mediums even further, thanks normies and a big thanks for reddit

there i said it

>>389409216
Pretty sure the tumblrites all are undertale PCfags. Not patrician console Jap games. Nice try though.

To be fair I just went to the exact same area to compare. It's nowhere near as bad as that second pic makes out.

The draw distance is actually better though, did the person that made this not know the difference between Draw Distance and Level of Detail?

Right, totally means CDPR delivered

>>389409662
you can't judge the draw distance on such a shitty quality image but yea the guy who did this is dumb (even so the game was downgraded obviously).
The reason they put a fog was because of lod issue.

>>389409463
Because you're using mods at a completely different time of day.

List of things that were removed/downgraded:
The mod kit
Subsurface scattering
Forward lit soft particles
Semi volumetric clouds
Bokeh depth of field
Seems like a lot of the PBR they bragged about
Combat camera shake
Convincing and gratuitous pools of blood that 'realistically' floated on water
Subtle lens flares
Tessellated ground
Anamorphic lens flares
Flexible water simulation
Geralt's face was severely downgraded
In-game scenes like the Wild Hunt attacking the town and the introduction to the emperor of Niilfgard were changed to worse effect
Aerial perspective fog
Sign particle intensity was lowered
Many textures in Novigrad were downgraded
Volume based translucency
Many environment models in Novigrad
Interior lighting looks horrendous now
The bloom shader sucks, you can see how it was before in the wild hunt segment
Screen space reflections
The way drowners look was good and is really bad now
AND MORE.

Name another game that comes close to this level of downgrading. And point out exactly how it was downgraded instead of just memeing without knowing shit.

No it isn't. There was a patch that added blood to water but it's nothing like it was. See:

Again, no. Image related. Not completely accurate but the final game's water is a joke compared to E3 water.
>wrong
But you are the one who is wrong. There's even a mod that came out the other day that mimics the old look he had.

You literally have no argument is what you're saying, and what you've proven.

>>389411828
Not him but Wildlands.

>>389411131
We got tired of waiting for consoles to be so outdated so instead we are seeking gameplay over graphics.

Also PUBG is fucking shit, i only play it to farm crates and sell the stuff. Literally made 100 dollars by selling coats and stuff i got from crates.

>>389411921
that water shit is in the game, just fight any drowner near a lake.

>Again, no. Image related. Not completely accurate but the final game's water is a joke compared to E3 water.
your "image" is complete shit bait taken in two completely different weathers. Go make a webm of the vanilla storm weather and you'll see the water simluation is almost the exact same, the only thing that changed was sky/it now has a shitty fog


>But you are the one who is wrong. There's even a mod that came out the other day that mimics the old look he had.
But his face wasn't downgraded graphics wise, which is what you were implying. It was just changed, and imo, it looks better in the vanilla version.

>>389411679
The guy is using the wrong terms.
Its the tesselation which was removed concerning the water.

>>389412102

He's right the water in the trailer during the storm is tesselated (see Watch dogs, just cause, crysis, etc.).
Its not the case in the final version no matter what weather it is.

Don't make me post the JUST faces.

>>389412292
The water is still tessellated, it's just incredibly toned down and boring looking now.

>>389412490
It's downgraded from the trailer, but the water is still tessellated.

Yeah, I almost forgot how much of an impact the lighting mods make. Vanilla lighting is disgusting in Velen, although its not as bad in White Orchard.

>>389413469
oh yea i totally remember when tw2 was unplayable.
it's pretty obvious they were short on schedule and had to focus on one version but keep thinking that.

Things video games can't do:
>defeat clipping
>armpit/shoulder area

>>389413469
But why? It's a video game with a graphics settings menu in which you can enable and disable individual features already. You could easily add a "experimental high quality" section with a disclaimer in which you hide the demanding algorithms they had to transition away from late in development once QA got involved and told them the game runs like shit.

You can play games on lower settings retard.

bloating the install size of the game for settings that the majority of players won't use isn't a good idea. Just let the people who want higher graphical quality mod the game to their heart's content

We're only talking about a few megabyte - code is very small and the downgrades you see are not texture related, they come from removed or reduced shaders and effects.

This game looked great, but an exclusive built on an engine optimized for one system, with the entirety of Sony's R&D talent behind it and a linear title isn't exactly a fair comparison to some Polish studio that had to build an entire open world game for 2 consoles and PC, all in 4 year's time.

>>389414943

Do you have the pic where they stated point blank there would be a full dev kit released and have it put side by side with their statement like a year later that they 'never promised mod tools'? Lost respect for them when they blatantly lied.

>>389417949
Trailers and gameplay demos get people interested in a game so they do post production editing on them to make them look better and/or polish that one part of the game.
In truth the games never looked that good.

>>389417949
Usually just a bait and switch for small trailers but some downgrades make no sense because the entire game was shown looking great then it comes out and it looks like shit.

Meaning they developed high-spec visuals only to delete them. For no apparent reason.

Like this >>389418210 guy will pretend TW3 didn't actually look that good, but it did. They showed roughly 70% of the game looking fantastic only to delete those visuals.
