The Guru3D Screenshot Thread - RTFM! #19 (Rules update!)

John

Contiuned from (Pt. 18): http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread....353976&page=59

Rules:

1) The rules are absolute and no exceptions are allowed. Breach the rules and you will face the consequences, no matter what.

2) No complaints about multiple screenshots from the same game being posted. This means absolutely no flaming, fighting or similar.

3) No spam. This thread is not going to function as a post count increaser. This is a thread for people to share pictures from their favourite games, not for general chit-chat. On-topic discussion of the images posted is however allowed.

4) If you see 50 screenshots from a game you hate posted in a row - simply ignore them. No one's interested in reading your rants. If you don't have anything positive or constructive to say, shut the hell up.

5) To keep the thread length at a reasonable level, I'm going to cap the pictures per post at 10 - TEN - T-E-N. Ten (10) images per post.

6) To keep the thread clean I would prefer THUMBNAILS of huge images. This means that if your images are larger than 1280x1024, you're either going to have to resize them or link to a THUMBNAIL of the original picture.

7) In case you feel like you have to post a screenshot that reveals an ending or an important turning point of the game, please put use SPOILER TAGS.

8) Stupidly massive PNGs and JPGs are hereby banned from this thread. Keep the file size below 1MB, preferably below 500KB.

9) If you can't follow the above rules, the life of this thread, and your membership here at Guru3D will be short. Very short.

Edit 11th of March: I have changed the rules when it comes to spoilers as I've gotten some complaints. Please use spoiler tags if you're posting something that can be considered a spoiler. Naturally, you'll have to use your own judgement on what could be considered a spoiler or not, so use common sense.

Dear Esther

Dear Esther looks outstanding.

I was watching my son play the new counter strike beta, it also looks very nice. I would love to see a new Day Of Defeat with those graphics.

Is Dear Esther a Source game? it looks terribly flat, the lighting is awful. Anyway, ME3. I don't consider these spoilers, only a few hours in atm

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, revealing that Liara is in the game is a spoiler. the spoiler rule is a bit weird...

It's all my fault apprently. I shouldn't have mixed spoilers and crybabies together on this forum. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but without knowing the context of a picture, it's hard to be spoilered. Oh and I did give warnings. Learn to read?

But whatever...

I know, right? I thought that as well. About the prothean. you can't spoil a game with screenshots anyway. Unless they come with description. Showing Liara it's also a spoiler. Shows she appears in the game. Some people could moan about me "revealing"that.

it is really flat though, it looks like a photo taken in the afternoon and then having all the shadows removed through shadows/highlights in photoshop. In other words, if there's a game out there that could use 10 passes of AO, it's this

interesting.

actually you gave me an idea, i will try to force AO since the game has no option ingame to enable it, maybe it will look better and less flat.

personally i love the graphics but if i can make it better then why not

Source based games always look like that when they're trying to re-create a real life look. Still, it does look good.

Could you try and do a before and after photo of various scenes?

Further Skyrim (TES 5) adjustments, it's time consuming both to modify and play the game but it's also very fun, ha ha.

Looks great! Very realistic, not oversaturated and bloomy like others lighting mods.

Without AO

With AO

big difference, less flatness, the rocks in particular look a lot better.

use this custom (type it).. 0x0000000A (that's 7 zeroes).

performance is excellent here, 60fps all the way through.

Mass Effect 3 certainly has moments where it just looks good. And lots of spoilers below
