this thread is only for starchads
the fact that you've unironically typed in those words with little to no self-awareness is genuinely depressing.
It's a miracle you've managed to make it this far in life without walking into an open manhole or forgetting how to breathe or choking on a small toy.

You are obviously trying but you'll never beat SDG as Codex Retard Of The Year.
He does not need to. Did you notice how SDG disapeared but Vic then appeared..

The "but it's accurate" shit is exactly what people use to defend black-washing in all sorts of historic or concurrent fiction.
the issue is making it political and whining about this shit for days now

just install the de-negro mod and stfu

or even better, uninstall the game and go fuck yourself

Fair enough, your prior argument was still way off target.

SDG wouldn't know how to post screenshots from his PS5.

I don't understand why the graphics look so bad. I tried using FSR and couldn't get above 80 FPS even when the upscaler was set to 50%.

So I turned off FSR and.. the game still looks absolutely terrible. I don't get it. Either there is horrendous aliasing or everything is so soft that it looks like smeared paint.

Turn off Upscaling and set Indirect Lighting to medium or high if you don't have it on ultra already.

If Starfield, Diablo 4 and BG3 are off the table, what will be RPG of the year?
Colony Ship, Caves of Lore, Space Wreck, and Colony Ship has a chance with them on the board anyways. I assume you're talking about the codex and less normie places which will struggle with deciding who between Starfield, BG 3, The LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom and Hogwart's Legacy should win.

It doesn't do anything.

Even with all the upscalers off and everything set to Ultra, the game looks tremendously ugly. This is an ugly game. I don't know what else to say.

It wouldn't be so bad if it ran like shit off a shovel. But the performance is horrendous. This has to be one of the worst triple A releases I've ever seen for performance and graphical fidelity.

Jaffe's video is interesting, I came to a planet that had exactly that look, a very autumnal sparsely forested biome and the fidelity was just shockingly bad. The tree/bush models alone are just embarrassing.

I'll say another thing, I was testing perks earlier and pretty much every high rank combat perk I tested doesn't work well at all.

I tested the Armour Penetration perk against dinos that looked as if they had armored bodies. Almost nothing. Tested against armored guards at a space station. Nothing. The dinos went from taking 8 damage to taking 9 damage. That's with 4 ranks.

The Targeting perk claims to improve accuracy but I couldn't detect any improvement at all. The x-ray vision thing works though.

I tested Crippling and shot the guards with many, many rounds of a not-powerful gun. I barely saw the perk do anything. 99/100 the guards just died before they had a chance to get downed.
