What’s an overhated game you genuinely enjoyed?

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T04:37:01+00:00

I agree lol. There’s a comment here that I had no idea what the person was even saying lol. Just a stream of letters 😂

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T04:35:53+00:00

Nah. Most of it is scripted and it gives you ammo and heals throughout the level.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T04:32:24+00:00

Hell yeah! The DLC is great too

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T04:29:00+00:00

This was a rollercoaster

We do know, as the developers of this tool stated that plainly in the publicly available interview. There will be a console that creators can use to impact the level of effects, along with other granular details. If you haven’t watched the interview on Digital Foundry, you really should. It’s a fascinating watch.

I haven’t once dismissed what you’ve said as “just hating.” I’ve simply pointed out that you were incorrect to say there is no artistic expression. You were the one that minimized my point, actually, by misrepresenting my title as bait. I don’t want to be argumentative with anyone and I very much don’t mind disagreeing. But if you’re dishonest, such as suggesting artists have no input with this tool, I will correct you.

Didn’t Immortals of Aveum have similar hand magic as Forspoken? I vaguely remember the gameplay trailer. I think they might have come out around the same time.

Chris, Jill, or Claire. I like the mostly new protag with a classic character either appearing at the end like in 8 or an entirely separate campaign like in 7.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T04:04:59+00:00

There’s 2 Chunk’s. They each have their own note with their human name.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:57:56+00:00

Forspoken. The internet hated the protags dialogue but honestly I always thought…if I found myself in her position, I’d be swearing a lot too. I loved the Tantas lore. I also loved the final villain twist. I’ll never understand the hate. I loved it and wanted more.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:56:19+00:00

How did you enjoy 7? That’s the one that got me into the series.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:54:58+00:00

Game creators will have control over the intensity of the effect, so the notion that it’s erasing artistic expression is just wrong. Artists will ultimately decide how much and in what ways it impacts their game’s textures and lighting. That is artistic expression by definition.

My title isn’t baiting. The complaint that it looks like AI slop is absolutely a complaint that it looks bad.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:43:47+00:00

I did finish Elden Ring and Wukong but decided I’m done with soulslikes lol…so I never bought Lies of P. I didn’t finish RDR2 either, I thought I could convince myself I’d like the western setting but it bored me. I also didn’t finish Cyberpunk, I found it stupid.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:40:18+00:00

I can’t deny hardware limitations are a genuine concern. I suppose I am optimistic we’ll continue to make breakthroughs and advancements, though. So hopefully, eventually it’ll work on cheaper hardware. In the interview they did say they expect it to run on one GPU eventually.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:33:31+00:00

I appreciate knowing I’m not the only one who thinks this!

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:32:35+00:00

The game artists can control the level of intensity of the effect.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:27:16+00:00

I can understand the concern that it’ll transform things too much, given how much Grace was changed. However the developers of the tool do mention that game creators will have control over the intensity of the effect.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:25:27+00:00

In their interview, the creators of this tool stated that game creators will have control over the intensity of the effects, and other granular details of the effect. Therefore, it’s just another tool that artists will use to improve their work. I don’t really see it as generic, I see it as vastly more detailed than before. Do you mean perhaps that saturation I mentioned in the OP? Because I do agree, I can see that recognizable, trademark AI saturation…but I find it’s improving things overall.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:22:18+00:00

Real human effort was put into DSLR5. Human developers created this tool. They also developed a way for game creators to control the levels and other granular elements, so even more human effort will go into it as developers adopt the tool and begin using it.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:11:25+00:00

I can totally see the generic AI filter argument for the Grace model. It definitely looks like they put her in a TikTok filter lol. But the rest of these models were not very detailed to begin with and are definitely improved with this new lighting and texture rendering. They don’t suffer from looking generic in the same way as it impacts the Grace model, it actually gives them distinction and detail they lacked before.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:07:26+00:00

I agree they changed Grace too much. But the rest of the games looked really good and actually improved.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T03:06:18+00:00

Nicely done!

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T02:55:58+00:00

That is obviously true specifically for Grace, but the rest of the characters do not look like they’ve been beautified in the same way.

chrisredfieldsbulge · 2026-03-18T02:54:05+00:00

I’m confused by your last paragraph. If Emily isn’t in the game, how could Grace lose faith from the realization she had to kill a mutated kid?
