it looks like it's running through an instragram filter

Looks like every terrible ENB I've ever used. Overdone effects, shit-looking ambient occlusion and way too much saturation. VisualV already does a great job in the visual department. Enhances the colour palette and various other elements, so the game looks more pleasing, with a consistent level of quality.

Not a fan of the look, but to top it off modding this game is like navigating a damned mine field. try the slightest adjustment? Corrupted! Enjoy downloading 65gb again.

Do you use a mods folder? Or do you actually install mods to the default directories?
Mouse and keyboard controls alone make the combat on PC far, far better than on consoles. Not to mention 60fps making it even more fluid.

Most of my mods are open IV edits, or were until I gave up modding it all together. I've literally never had a single one not corrupt my data yet. The other few I just dropped intothe main directory as the install said just like Scripthooker. I've never really even found a decent resource for mod management with the game or how anyone does it, it just seems to be however from mod to mod rather than having a standard.
On the PC or the Console I personally still think the last few GTA games have controlled like shit but a big part of that is the gameplay itself for things like combat is not very good. It sucks because Max Payne 3 was so well done in that respect, well aside from the constant mini cut scenes, however the base gameplay was solid.

With OpenIV you can now put all your mods in a mods folder, so it doesn't affect the main files at all.

You're doing it wrong then. You're meant to create a mods folder, then place a copy of certain archives (e.g. update.rpf, dlc.rpf, etc) in that folder, then mod that, instead of fucking around with your default files. Not sure what kind of mods you were installing that would corrupt your data.

Just texture swaps, but yeah never knew you could do that since some of these depend on replacing the file already existing.

Some of the rainy day shots look pretty nice, but yeah, overall this just looks too... processed. It made sense for GTAIV, but it's kind of odd when vanilla V looks so spectacular.
I do appreciate beefing up the explosion effects, though, even if they're perhaps a bit too overboard. Always bummed me out that they look so wimpy.

looks fine, but doesn't look like GTA.
Rockstar spends so much time on their ambiance to capture a "feel" for an area... and part of that is muggy smog in LA, or myst slowly evaporating in the hills, or a blistering red/orange sunset...
When mods replace that with desert-like clarity or white-light sun bloom, it misses a lot of what Rockstar does to make some place feel authentic.
Here's an example:

This screenshot is very high res, has nice texture, clear blue skies, and sure, it looks great. But it lacks the ambiance that GTAV vanilla has, and ends up looking like a generic Saints Row or some other open world game. Los Santos shouldn't have the dry clarity of a Las Vegas or Scottsdale Arizona.

There were certain texture mods early on that would cause crashes (especially 4K blood mods). Haven't encountered much of that now, though. The modding community has come a long way since release.

It may just be an issue with old mods then. I did just try it again and managed to corrupt it again somehow but fixed it with a file verification. Only one left in there now which is open all interiors so hopefully that one will work.

the guy he was responding to said "the most impressive looking game ever made". He didn't name specifics about the game itself, just the visual fidelity.

Is it like this on PC if you use a controller as well? Sounds like this might get me to enjoy GTA V more than I have been.

Good god that's absolutely hideous. What even is it?
Every scene with rain looked bad.
The raindrops are massive and look like snot and every surface has those repeating puddles all over. Looks strange.
Yes, because unless I name specifics about why I find it more impressive, it's preposterous to think the game is more impressive looking than Uncharted 4.
A massive world with amazing visual fidelity is indeed more impressive looking to me than a linear ride.
Scale looks impressive. No of objects on screen looks impressive. Even just the number of different systems required to make it work and run alongside each other looks impressive.

Wow, that is impressive.
I think aside from some of those ENB/lightning choices, most of the list looks pretty awesome.
The game looks too clean and not as nice without all the smog and atmospheric stuff going on.
Assuming you can edit/turn off the sweetfx and enb stuff, this sounds like something I would enjoy and maybe get me to actually play the game for once.
