Maybe he (just like me) struggles with a small HDD.
Yeah, it's kind of shitty uploading them and not making them private or giving credits. Personally I wouldn't feel mad to see one of my screenshots there. I think I would just say "what" out loud, and feel a bit flattered, haha! But I would be mad if they were my real life photographs (that actually happened to me
). :3Well, you're not alone.

HOLY FUCK that looks awesome. Sounds right up my alley ~~Inner Chains is seriously one of the best-looking games I've ever seen.
...Oh.
Wow, this game looks so realistic...to a point that it already looks boring and generic.
It looks fantastic to me.

Hah, I thought it looked absurdly impressive but I see what you mean.
Overall I prefer the "hyperrealistic" look of, say, Horizon: Zero Dawn where they aim not exactly for pure realism in terms of natural environments, but for an idealized version of realism (think nature documentary shots where they just want to show eye candy at all times).
Actually, yes.
It looks as if someone has scanned a real life forest and ported it into the game. I miss an artistic touch. Like this it looks technically amazing but I wouldn't look twice at something. I would be quickly bored by the visuals.
Yeah, Horizon Zero Dawn is a good example. Technically it can't compete with KC
on max PC settings, artistically it however looks a lot more appealing and interesting. It's more stylized/idealized and has that artistic touch.KC
is meant to be a Middle Ages simulation, not a sci-fi/fantasy adventure, so I guess its visuals fit it perfectly, even if I personally find them boring.jim2point0

It's mostly the setting that's rather boring. HZD has very interesting environments full of robot dinosaurs. Even The Witcher 3 has some nice variety in the locations and is full of gloomy atmosphere to spice things up. Kingdom Come is just hilly fields and forests.
I think The Witcher 3 would look a lot better in the same engine as Kingdom Come. Probably.

Too bad they used the PS2 version for the PC port and not the PS3/Xbox 360 version that offer better shaders, shadows and textures. At least you can play this game with the best image quality possible and not the locked 30fps. A shame, nevertheless, not getting the most definitive edition without compromises (same with Tomb Raider 2013).

I feel like this game is a dark horse in the graphics department. It is seriously gorgeous, especially when you disable its atrocious, blurry FXAA and inject some of your own SMAA instead.

I guess real life is boring and generic to you as well then, no?!
Nice shot.
Quoting these since the original sizes don't auto-resize well.

So I'm looking at Cheat Engine for something and although users have posted the official downloads page is meant to contain an ad-free installer link it seems to have been removed. The downloads of the versions prior to 6.4 (which from what I can tell were before they added the installer adware) seem to be down atm.
Edit: nvm, the non-adware link is within a paragraph I missed.

No, but it's maybe not something everyone expects from a video game that is, for many, supposed to drag you from real life. When I compare it, artistically, to let's say Darksiders 2 or Mass Effect with its alien worlds, it doesn't hold a candle. So he/she does have a point with their statement.

Well, the Kingdom Come devs are aiming for a historically accurate and realistic game, which would include highly realistic looking environments.

I know. My point is that it's not the graphics that make the game look boring. It's the setting combined with a realistic art style.

Sometimes I enjoy a more objective real-life setting. I find them subtle and down-to-earth. I don't think it's always a good idea to force a mood through a specific artstyle; lighting, color-grading, background music and such. I don't know if it's the same, but for example i love all the old industrial buildings in Half-Life 2, even though they're not immediately expressive.
Of course I still love games with more outlandish settings and artstyles, I just think there's a place for both.
On an unrelated note, here's two NFS screenshots. Sorry for the banding, I only just noticed.

So do I. Just commenting on why Kingdom Come might look "boring" to some.

As much as I love realistic looking nature, if the same amount of effort hasn't been put into making the inhabitants detailed and lifelike then it's all a bit pointless to me.
