Pictures of your games

I can't wait for the sequel! I loved the whole Scarecrow section. The game psyches you out and makes you think your console/computer is crashing and resetting.

Got in Hong Kong in Deus Ex:

 

The streets of Hong Kong. I'm the kind of guy who tries to explore every nook and cranny, and Hong Kong is to me like a huge candy store for a kid.

 

Club Lucky Money. Looks like school girl style is still going strong in the future.

 

The Man Who Can't Smile, JC Denton himself.

One last look through my books before I uninstall Morrowind, still a ****ton of stuff to do in the game but I've burnt out now all the main quests are done and there's loads of other games to keep me busy till Skyrim, I doubt it'll have the same magic though, what a ride.

Yeah I agree, graphics are defiantly from 2006. It's still playable though

Bok, are you using DX 11 then with everything else maxed?

[WDeranged]

It doesn't look maxed out to me, have you downloaded the high res texture pack yet Bokishi? It makes quite a huge difference to exterior scenes.

[Bokishi]

Thanks I'll check it out! lol why do they leave out the high graphics settings for separate download

I know, the mind boggles

[Bokishi]

Yeah there's an improvement now, you can see the details on the sword for instance

Everytime I see Bok's screenshots I want to buy two more monitors

 

Planning to upgrade my rig this year. My current one is getting old (3).

 

Do you actually see more when playing in that resolution or is the screen stretched out? I was never too sure.

[Bokishi]

Yeah i highly recommended a multi-monitor setup, as it does let you see more at once in games than standard widescreen (if you configure it right). In my case i have a PLP (portrait, landscape, portrait) setup which unfortunately leaves me out of using nvidia surround or ATI eyefinity configurations which require three monitors of the exact same resolution, so I have to use a software based triplehead solution (SoftTH) that's still in beta form (but it works good in most games).

 

Things tend to stretch out a bit at the very edges; it was weird to me at first cuz it's like a fish-eye camera! But I found out that it does that to simulate peripheral vision and they recommend you focus at the center screen and not look directly at the sides to get the proper immersion effect

 

When not playing games, I have 60" of desktop screen space that makes crazy multitasking easy

 

In these days, it's so easy to get multi monitor setups: you can find plenty of used monitors for cheap on Ebay!!

I would still find the monitor borders of a multi-monitor setup extremely & constantly annoying for game playing;I'd never get used to it. I'd have to buy special borderless monitors or something.

 

Hubs doesn't like 'widescreens' for some reason but he has three 19" 4:3 and one 22" widescreen LCD's set up together. He can both use them as "one" single monitor, or as 4 separate monitors (showing stuff from 4 different pcs) that are yet connected somehow in terms of being able to seemingly just mouse-drag something from one to the other. At least, that's what it looks like, maybe I don't understand/misinterpret what he's done, I don't ask. It's cool, but he doesn't play games on them.

As long as you activate bezel compensation in your resolution settings and treat the side monitors as peripheral vision (that is not look directly at them), then the bezels seem to disappear, at least for me anyways.

 

Some hardcore people strip the side casing off their displays to reduce bezel size:

lol did anyone else notice the Geth in DA2?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Sooo, I've been seeing all these character models with their retarded giant floating shoulderpads, and they'd all look much better without them.

 

Anybody know of a way to mod them out?

[Rosbjerg]

I checked in to see the newest mods for New Vegas - and one called "Ojo Bueno HQ textures" really caught my eye .. it's just beatiful.

 

(not technically my screenshots - but I had to share this)

[WDeranged]

They're looking very nice, I'm enjoying the HD texture pack for Fallout 3 at the moment, glad to see New Vegas is getting the same treatment, all the big stuff should be done by the time I'm ready to play it again.

[LadyCrimson]

Hm. I was finally playing around with Nevada Skies URWLified, saw the OjoBueno post and grabbed those as well. I don't have Bokishi's rig or a superman-graphic card, but together they still look kinda cool I guess. I only grabbed/used the HQ ones (road, autos, woodshacks, sidewalks, vegetation, saloon packs:I skipped the lootables). There's no huge fps/performance drop using them on my i7, but it did increase loading times (fast traveling, enter a door) by a noticeable amount, and if you have that occasional 'stutter', the increased load seems to make the moment of stutter longer/more disruptive (for me). With NVSkies, I like some things about it (rain, thunder) but sometimes I feel like someone turned on digital vibrance to max- the color saturation/contrast is way too much. My picky eyes...anyway, here's some 'regular joe' screens of the OjoBueno road & sidewalk. I still use 4xAA & 8AF, HDR (no bloom). The autos looked good, the woodplanks were ok, the streetlight textures were certainly loads better but probably not worth downloading since you hardly notice them as you run past 'em, normally, imo.

 

So...y'know...they look very good in screenies/up close but frankly, when I'm running around playing, I'm not sure I care/notice that much having them there. Still, it's cool, and pretty.

 

Click for full size.

 

Sidewalks:yup, you can read the litter.

 

The HQ roads (edit:I used the 'lite cracks' version...not as roughly cracked, dimpled, and destroyed looking as the other two options)

Too long, can't edit my post.

Here's one of a car during a more clear day so you can see the shiny.

@LC: Are you using the normal or URWLified version? Regardless, if you're bothered by the colors/saturation you should really grab the Imaginator. It lets you play with the image pretty much as you like, colors, saturation, contrast, brightness, it has some cool presets, configurable shutter speed and soft focus etc.

Tried the normal, then the URWLified. Not sure what the difference is exactly.

Oh, marvelous, that's the ticket. Thank you.

Some npc's are still too "tan" & other stuff like that, under sunny skies, but overall it's much more tolerable. Can put the saturation closer to vanilla game and still have my weather, somewhat bluer skies, & darker nights. Yay.

URWLified uses lighting/color settings similar to the UWRL mod, which has been taken down by the Nexus since the author was banned for a mistake. Overall, I prefer it to the original version, even if sometimes it IS quite saturated.
