Game is gorgeous
minecraft
Halo 3
What are you talking about, It shit itself when you reach any open location
u must be blind
MGSV
Thief 1 and 2.
Quake.
Amid Evil.
Kenshi
u must be illiterate
can run on a potato
alien isolation
Vagrant Story
Skyrim
the talos principle. Too bad they switched to Slop Engine 5 for the 2 and plan to ruin the original by remaking it.
Doom eternal if we count the switch port
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Kingdom come 2. It just makes no sense how that game even exists when the industry is flooded with shit like ue5 and RE engine
based boomerbro. AE's got the most incredible and unique style i've ever seen. underrated game too compared to the rest of their catalogue
anything with baked lighting really
I remember the original Devil May Cry 4 PC port could run on pretty much anything
2016 and eternal can run on a calculator but they shat the bed with dark ages
Still no fucking clue how they managed to do that. It even loads levels in just a few seconds. What the fuck.
MGSV wasn't gorgeous, but it looked decent.
A GTX 960M could pull off 1080p High settings at a solid 60 fps.
I don't like the game itself but warframe's open world maps impress me
the game runs like a charm while you zoom around even on absolute toasters
The Legend of Kyrandia
Streets of Rage
90% of games that came before 2015
The gook devs of Lies of P have actual black magic knowledge.
The game looks great and still runs perfectly on a potato.
i hate their new forced fart gas that ruins not just looks but also framerate
True but it doesn't run that well on weak PCs. You'd need to turn off the fancy stuff and lower the resolution.
Destiny 1, not 2, 2 is ugly.
hmmm
MGSV still looks fantastic even today. Can't believe Fox Engine was wasted like that.
Oh, why did you have to remind me
youtube.com
extremely impressive for a gba game
Quake
this, some of the community content looks gorgeous, and it runs fine even on my shitty integrated intel gpu with ironwail
MGSV still looks fantastic
It didn't even look fantastic when it came out. It has shitty LODs with not enough of them for smooth transitions and muddy textures. Also the animation system in it was 20 years behind and the engine had hard limitation on the number of NPCs which then ruined PES(who was unable to even render all players on the field with AI because of how outdated the engine was)
Skyrim.
This developer always does something interesting (read: stupid) with their rendering pipeline that doesn't quite follow the mainstream trends of the time. It never works out well and their renderer code has bugs in dating back to 2002. Nowadays they hire nvidia engineers and probably have no in-house graphics programmers left. So, all in all, a shitty company. But despite everything, sometimes their art direction just works.
first 2 nudoom games, lies of pnis, dmc 5
anything else using black magic?
this game was dealt such an atrocious fucking hand. by the time the game lost support, it was really shaping up to become something truly great and now its just left to rot. what a damn shame
can run on a potato
pic unrelated?
Battlefield 1
it ran well on my old shitty laptop with a 1060 back in the day so idk what to tell you
I'm playing through The Black Labyrinth right now and it's peak. Never thought fisting would be this fun.
minecraft windows version it's lightweight
Might not run perfectly on an absolute toaster but Ghost of Tsushima really fucking surprised me by how well it ran on my pc. Can run it at 60fps on 2880p (5K resolution) somehow on my 3080 and r5 2600 (yes I know my cpu is shite)
hasn't been posted yet
disappointing Anon Babble.
mirror's edge was pure magic. I remember playing it on my ancient gt 9800 like it was nothing.
northern journey
Resident Evil 8 really impressed me with how it ran on my 1070 while still looking great. Shame that engine shits the bed completely when it's used for anything with a larger scale than that.
crysis
u tellin me this pape i ripped from /wp/ 10 years ago was actually tied to game? fuckin hell
doom16
Strange brigade
he doesn't know about one of the best openings in the universe
Scorn
nuhitman
Morrowind
STILL ALIVE, I'M STILL ALIVE
I CANNOT APOLOGIZE NO-OH-OOH
Street Fighter III: Third Strike
I want to think Genshin Impact is toaster friendly since I've always had it at 1.5 rendering and maxed out at 60fps even with my older gpu from 2017 or so, but it ran like fucking SHIT on PS4 lol, so I'm not sure.
I remember this one guy who procrastinated on an event until the last few hours and he was speed running it on PS4 but the loading screens and subsequent pop-in after loading was taking so long that he was seriously panicking about completing the event. I think it was one of the funniest Anon Babble chimp outs I've seen in the past decade.
god bless yuzo koshiro
napping puppies
is it good? that and deadfall adventures make me wanna go tomb raiding
looks like shit
runs like shit
Anon you failed the assignment.
It didn't even look fantastic when it came out.
Why do you lie? It's one of the few games from 2015 that still looks good.
who was unable to even render all players on the field with AI because of how outdated the engine was)
The engine was brand new from the ground up specifically for MGSV, you lying shitskin. It was top of the line.
Remakes don't retroactively ruin the original.
Hell yeah.
Old WoW and Mirror's Edge
too bad about the gameplay. one of the worst """retro""" shooters i've ever played. literal hallway shooter tier.
point-and-clicks are kinda cheating
Crysis runs well on very modest (by modern standards) hardware, and still looks stunning. Just slap on some Reshade to make those colors pop a bit more.
I posted SOR in this thread and thats been my background for ages too, lol. This is my lock screen (Sonic 2)
game runs in-universe on Serious Engine because it's easy and quick to use and provided to the IAN-institute by Croteam for free
remake runs on UE5
they left the message that praised their own engine that they just took behind their shed unaltered
by making it look like TTP2 one dialog in the sequel also doesn't make sense anymore where the protag of the first game says that in comparison to the simulation the real world is less blocky and artificial looking
One of the dumbest and most unnecessary remasters ever.
They probably only did it because 2 flopped hard financially according to one of the writers.
Call of Juarez Gunslinger
No idea why I like those graphics so much.
Brain damage most likely.
can run on a potato
I remember playing this on ps4 and the performance was abysmal
They probably only did it because 2 flopped hard financially according to one of the writers.
Really? Hard to believe given the baffling positive ratio this turd has on steam. But if true then fully deserved and they can eat shit, especially how condescending they were on reddit toward people who felt like TTP2 had none of the depth of the original
tom-jubert.blogspot.com
Talos 2 did great critically and I fear abysmally commercially
underrated game too
shits kinda abysmal
the only truly noteworthy game new blood has this day is ultrakill, the only guys doing anything new with shooters. No longer its by far the game least involved with New Blood itself
Based game with incredi le visuals that should have got more attention. It also features Hulshults best work.
Ion Fury and Blood work on everything
how the fuck lmao, that shit sits at 95% positive ratio on steam with 11k reviews, the fuck did they spend the money on? Certainly not on writers and puzzle designers.
game can run on a potato so people overpraise its graphics
Lies of P, Doom 2016, MGSV.
there is some crazy shit on the GBA, pretty wild for them to run 3d. Some even did voxel engines
Very good. Unfortunately online players are few, but the enemies are cool, sceneries are gorgeous and puzzles are far from simplicistic
Alan Wake 2.
SC2, the amount of units and detaisl is pretty stupid. They even have colored translucent shaodws and GI
it actually requires a good PC, but it's definitely one those games that looks stunning if you put the graphics at low
Some even did voxel engines
There were voxel engine games 10 years before the GBA came out on hardware nowhere near as powerful as the GBA. This is not impressive at all. Frankly, by the time GBA came out voxels was old, abandoned tech.
It runs like shit but yea it's a nice looking game.
Gameplay is somehow worse than in AW1.
Impressive, but it's a case of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." And EVERY Asterix game has the same annoyance of a fucking tiny attack range.
Frostbite was black magic back then
That's also a favorite of mine.
I find them to be a little too busy for main monitor wallpapers, so usually use them on a secondary.
Say what you want about Lords of Shadow as a game but visually it was really damn beautiful for something made for 7th gen hardware.
Serious Sam
Shogun 2
game is gorgeous
The C++ version is very optimized
aged like milk
Less gorgeous and more "how the fuck did this run at 60fps on PS2 hardware?"
Dark Souls 2
Doom Eternal
Cyberpunk 2077
Alan Wake
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
I know it cannot be considered a toaster, but I will never understand how they managed to make Xenoblade Chronicles X run so well on the Wii U.
Seeing how the handheld theme has already been started. another game that surprised me was Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS. MTFramework is literally magic.
Dark Souls 2 did not run well on a toaster. I had to switch from my toaster to a better one so I could play it back in 2014 and it still made the fans go full throttle. From Software games aren't the best when it comes to optimization
Bombrush Cyberfunk
the PS2 was a technical beast tbf, there is a reason the average computers have struggled to emulate it for a long time. Also there is a lot of aggressive LOD and instancing going on given that most units look the same.
game can barely run itself
I'm really starting to get bothered by the sheer amount of people on this board these days referring to late 90's vidya as "boomer" stuff and having nostalgia for shit from the late 2000's. If you weren't posting on Anon Babble in 2005 then you should be banned.
Fuck off gacha retard.
Pick a random game from 7th console generation and it probably passes.
dishonored (2012)
bioshock infinite
alien isolation

metal gear solid 5

battlefield 1

sekiro
was about to say this
RE2make
forgot tomb raider (2013)
NFS4 High Stakes
doesnt look great
doesnt run well
cubes
retarded non-scaling engine
ugly plain style and ~10 years outdated tech
the most drab game even for an indie with no art-style and poor optimization
now this is old&gold with immaculate art direction - still looks good
Sleeping dogs is pretty, ran much better than similar gta-likes of the time too
gotta give WoW credit for art and style carrying really low poly old tech with a massive world, but most of didnt age well
Dota 2
Mad Max
TXR2025
I thought Anon Babble hated Unreal Engine.
Minimum system requirements:
CPU: Core i5-7500 / Ryzen 5 1600.
GPU: GTX 1060 / RX 580 - 6GB VRAM.
My child, look at all the wonders created to delight and entice you. Run free, my child, and bask in the glory of my creation.
Half Life 2
This. It's mad comfy.
The art direction is so damn good. The performance is so damn good too. I was getting 120+ fps on my old 560ti with it
Ghost of a Tale
game has a wicked soundtrack on a MT32
lands of lore too
Witcher 2 still fuck a lot.
Max settings still kill hardware.
trackmania canyon
PoP: SoT, except for a few large areas where low res textures are too apparent
Nah, it's easily the worst looking out of the three, too much bloom, sharpening, and lots of boring looking locations
ubersampling
a completly retarded setting that have no purpose
Cuphead
It's just SSAA.
Cutscene DoF also tanks FPS.
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me, but your soul
Not "gorgeous" but I remember COD4: MW could run on almost anything and was really well optimized.
The game has post processing and jaggies everywhere. Get real. youtu.be
RDR2 can run on a 1060 at 40+ fps
F-zero GX
I ran Alien: Isolation on a business laptop without even a single instance of framerate drop
i am starting to get really bothered by extremely autistic retards like you that dont understand colloquialisms. "boomer shooter" refers to a philosophy and aesthetic that defined shooters of the 90s, not that its literally a 90s shooter. i dont understand why this is so incredibly difficult for people like you to understand.
why isnt everyone on this board an 40 year old uninteresting NEET life-failure like me?????
Far cry 4
the most drab game even for an indie with no art-style and poor optimization
It's poorly optimized but it does have a very unique art style faggot.
Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2, both the castle and city sections are damn comfy.
Rollercoaster tycoon 1 and 2
Simple but very efficient.
I need to reinstall it.
Trine 2
Rayman Legends is still the pretiest 2D game for me.
It's a moronic colloquialism that spawned from a forced meme spammed all over this site to promote an energy drink.
extremely autistic
yes this is Anon Babble
Correct.
The hand icons' placement triggers me.
Halo Reach MCC
Halo 4 MCC
Max Payne 3
Metro 2033
Dishonored
Portal 2
Grid 2
DiRT 3
NFS HP 2010
Shift 2
The architecture in this game gives me a headache. It so uncanny and lifeless like someone took a victorian asset pack and told an AI to make souls cathedrals out of it.
What are those towers? Those towers do not look like any style of architecture that was every around. Why are there entire floors without windows? Outside of shitty las vegas recreations you will also never see identical statues lined up next to each other because of each of them was hand made by an artist and making them all look different is actually easier.
its just because insular gamers are only obsessed with victorian and gothic architecture so its the only ones allowed in gaming for some reason.
Actually pretty decent game with the Rebalanced mod on highest difficulty (except for the DLC monsters which are spongy as hell)
wtf wrong image
@grok is this 710497040 faggot for real?
portal and portal 2
what can I say, I love me some scipunk
Yes, faggots are real.
I can get 60fps 1080p on my shitty nvidia 940m laptop that's like 9 years old. I was amazed at how well it ran when I tried it.
Damn, that sucks
the most amazing part is that its a source game. absolutely wild how beautiful this game looks and runs. graphics did not need to advance more than this and its a nearly 10 years old game now.
Daily reminder - fuck Unreal.
what mods?
The Long Dark
This
Too bad the story mode is terrible from what I hear and survival gets boring fast
Arkham Knight
I have like 1000+hours on it so I disagree, its not for the ADHD spastic that much Ill tell ya
ran like absolute shit for years and looks a shitty as fuck low contrast washed out brown and grey blob. its fucking horrendous looking
its awful and it runs like shit
That's exactly how I felt hopping in after like a decade. I did not remember Skyrim looking that boring and mediocre.
there's a bunch of mods that update its dogshit performance, it's the only game that gets up to 120fps on this forsaken thing
I you might be confused because of the many re-releases and mods. But launch day 111111111 Skyrim ran terribly on even top-of-the-line machines and looked ass doing it.
The Division
Ground zeros looked great, mgsv not so much.
Like BF1, the visuals and sound design are muted by the bad gameplay and devs who implement terrible monetization and progression choices (one in the same to a bad dev)
So tired of hearing about how good looking this tech demo in desperate need of anti ailiasing was.
This shit right here.
It's amazing just how good NYC looked on this game, everything was so good looking. The atmosphere on the dark zone is still one of a kind. The blizzard survival mode is THE BEST looking battle royal to this date
Shocking that this is so low on the page. Titanfall 2 was way, way beyond what anyone thought would be possible on Source
People will rightfully shit on it for being ugly, but Kenshi does have those random moments of pure kinographic beauty.
thread for games that can run on a potato
almost all games in the thread need 8GB or more of RAM
you guys expect some beef with your potatoes, huh?
Half Life Alyx
too bad it's a game and the gameplay sucks
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
