AI slop mixed with Games where they are making everything looking the same.

Call me crazy, but some the after shots look way better. Everyones just overreacting because the tool used to achieve it is AI. If someone released a star field mod, or if there was a remaster down the line that did the improvements we see below everyone would jump on it

All the examples seem a bit too beautified, and therefore some homogeneity begins to appear across game examples, but that should be easily remediable. The actual lighting and textures look fantastic though to be honest, and I find it ironic to see backlash, given that the majority of the consumers have been obsessed with graphics and realism for 10+ years.

I don't remember anyone moaning when half-life remaster took the game from this to this...

I bought a used PC from my company - it has a Ryzen 7 3800X CPU and 4x16GB 3600 M/T RAM. 1 TB HDD and 512 GB SSD. Was not used for a long time.

I assume just that RAM would've cost me north of 500 EUR, but I paid 350 for the entire PC. Bought a new Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB for 400 EUR and I got me something that will play everything I want to play. Also got two 8bitdo Pro 3 joysticks (and one Pro 2 just in case).



Recently finished Far Cry 6. Always the same mechanics, same type of missions, but a different storyline. It's fun to play if you just want to casually go around the map shooting at people, but funnily enough it never got boring. Maybe that says something about me. But most of the missions are just go to point X, shoot a bunch of people, and maybe repeat. I did not connect to the story at all. However, it was still entertaining for me. After you complete the storyline, you can keep on playing, which is ok I guess.

Also played It Takes Two with my girlfriend, we both absolutely loved it! Such a lovely built microworld, very diverse, funny and just overall lovely. Fantastic game.

Bought Red Dead Redemption 2, passed a couple of missions already. Not overly convinced so far, but the scenery is incredible.
