It looks so gritty and real
The pictures looks crap, but in your stream it´s looks okay to me. Not worse than on the console.
Also your stream lags ;p
You know, the other points are valid, but I wouldn't complain about crashes when I'm playing (or seeing a "friend" play) a cracked version of the game.
The pictures also aren't worse than on the consoles. Just the same.

Seeing the pics on my TV it looks like the 360 version as expected. That is to say that while it looks poor for a PC game and probably doesn't look too hot on a monitor, it still looks fine for how I intend to play it. Super excited to play through it again.
maybe: live action stills =/= live action?
This, i can easily replay this on PC.

Sorry if you said and I missed, but what is your hardware?
EDIT: Nevermind, saw in stream
They're already trying to inject various stuff, FXAA etc, let's hope they can make the ENB work at least.
So far it looks atrocious.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd think Namco would be more to blame for rushing out this kind of port. They would have set the budget and development time frame for it, right? Unless From is so incompetent that they got an ample budget and time frame for it, and still fucked it up.
Look at the stream, it´s not that bad.
I'm actually doing just that.
Gonna use my 21" Sony G series CRT and once I'm done, I'm shelving it.

I don't think From gets a complete pass but I would agree that the majority of the blame for this port should go to Namco. I remember being very surprised to hear that it was coming out in August when they first announced it. Why make a port as a reaction to a petition and build up some good will only to do everything in your power to sabotage it? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
it's a small screen though? obviously it will look better when shrunk down like that
we see how it looks on the stream (just maximize it). It's pretty ugly but it's certainly playable.
Not that this excuses the bad port but those that do buy it will certainly be able to enjoy it if they like the game.
They look the same as the console version looks on a 1080p monitor.
He got hit by a boulder...so yes.
They look exactly the same as the console version. People just have a different standard for "fine" on PC.
I use the same display for console games. I played Dark Souls PS3 2.5' away from my 32" TV. Yeah, IQ isn't too hot, but it's still an amazing looking game thanks to the superb visual design.
I thought he was streaming in 720p...until he said it was 1080p.
Objectively it is, the stream is full of tons of compression artifacts (it is a video stream after all), it looks far worse than it does on consoles and thus it is no way what so ever to compare.
I don't think it looks that bad because I knew to expect it to look like the console version...and surprise! It does!
Unless you're a PC gamer that refuses to play console games period, you should be able to adapt just fine.
Oh. I could have sworn I wasn't playing something that resembled a "ps2 game" though. Oh well!

Ahah, that exact thought went through my head. Kind of fun watching someone play for the first time though.
the stream is at 1080p though.

Ok so, my guess is that this is running in a Software renderer. Roflmao.
Good, now change Skyrim uGrid system to not crash with higher values.
Some things are out of modders reach. When time to effort ratio is too high you can say that it is hardcoded.
Don't know really, but isn't it weird that they choose internal res same as console versions ? Resolution is one of the simplest things you could provide for PC release. Same thing about FPS.
There could be something in code what prevents them from changing res or max FPS like animation or physic. I've seen games that had animation system synced with FPS or physic.
I'm too waiting for someone to fix this shit.
Doesn't look bad for console but looks awful for PC standard. I've put in over 300hrs of the game on 360, I just wanted a half decent port. My heart is broken
It is clearly his first run through but I am thankful he did stream it. It eases my worries a bit on the port. Looked and played fine from what I saw. Granted it isn't super HD crazy like other PC ports but eh.

I can look past most of all the problems, but crashes on a game as unforgiving as this one without save states will probably make me quit on it, I dont have that much time to play anymore, cant deal with this ;(

The frame rate drops from the stream worry me more than the resolution problem, especially since his specs are pretty decent.

But we knew it would look like this for months now. Why does everyone feel the need to shit up the thread and reiterate the same point over and over again?
1024x720 upscaled to 1920x1080 is never, ever going to look good. It just depends on your tolerance levels for garbage image quality.

Looks fine to me and I say this as I'm currently playing the Witcher 2 on max settings at 1080p including ubersampling.
i wouldn't base my judgment of stability on an early cracked version though.
