suggest downloading both and switching back and forth.

thought i would revisit this masterpiece or should say, play it properly now and ignore the other games that have been a distraction.!

it really is a good looking game in 1440p res.

Still amazes me, the strangely melancholic/desolate atmosphere of Velen, never had a world feel more immersive. Its easy to just stand around enjoying tree physics.

Big note with that is also the music they put under it. Remove that and its a whole other game Try that, I did. Just not the same.

I highly recommend Stoneshard, even it is on early access. I don't play early access games, but this game catches me with its 2D rogue-like gameplay and pixel arts. I never thought that an open-world system fits for this kind of games, but it looks really good.

Also, the intro of the game is really hard to go through. I have had to play a couple of times with different skill combinations. In the end, I chose shield and axe, also, pure Strength. I recommend you to discover all around the intro dungeon to complete your first challenge. Also, do not stay hunger and thirst so much, if you get hungry, eat and then continue. Be careful of your body, and use medicines to mend your wounds.

If you complete the first challenge, you can create or choose one of the pre-made characters.

Finished Hard Reset and now it put me in the mood for Shadow Warrior '2013'.

Those screens have some kind of a filter on them or applied in the game?
Something like film grain/sharpening maybe.

Everything is kinda dark in Dark Souls 3, hard to see stuff most of the time. Found this in Aldrich, Devourer Of Gods boss room. Had to go back to find more secrets, and in the corner there it was... "Love ahead"

I knew i will find love eventually if i just keep playing these games. Dark Souls 3 (getting invaded every 5 minutes and beaten to the ground by a random lvl 200 guy) was the last place i thought i will find it.

yup sharpening in nvcp
I realized that too
the default setting is pretty aggresive

Yea I wasn't sure/also yet to play Exodus but something felt a bit 'off' and reminded me of the sharpening in Witcher 3 if its set to High which I also had to put on Low else it was too much imo.
Have to say Exodus looks great even on screens.

Void Destroyer 2 officially released yesterday, so I'm starting a new game. Dumping my current 150+ hr game with its vast empire and late game missions to start anew as a single fighter, no stations, no funds, no fleets. It's awesome! I love this game.

Start with nothing... End with everything! All you have is a basic ship, barely fit for combat, with it you'll start your journey and empire. A open world space sandbox, inspired by and expanding the classics.

I enabled sharpening in nvcp but overlooked the default value was 40%
I saw those artifacts in exodus,even on the text in the main menu,but I thought that dlss has some aggresive sharpening baked in.nope.set the sharpening to 20% in nvidia control panel and it's gone.

I just modded Tomb Raider 1 with the Tomb ATI fix and HD Texture Pack, without the need for Glidos or DOSBox.
Silky smooth and it looks great. Even the FMVs have been given the HD treatment, so kudos to the modders.
As far as I can tell, the fix only works on Steam and GOG versions. Mine is the GOG version.

Bought Crash Bash for PS1, now let's turn that PS3 on..

I'm still waiting for it on GoG (shameless plug for the wishlist heheh), but it does look entertaining. Initially the graphics turned me way off, but it does look like the dev has created a tempting world to play in. I'm reminded of Freelancer, which to me, is about the perfect space game.

Going back through Bioshock remastered quite slowly since it's buggy as hell. Also playing Untitled Goose Game which is surprisingly fun for some reason.

Oh man... my condolences....
Ironically the "remastered" version was developed by a company called "Blind Squirrel".
The initial version (before fire-up-the-ass patch storm) was so buggy, that you'll be lucky to play for 5 minutes without crashes, which were always followed by resetting your settings/graphics/difficulty/keybinds.

Yeah it's really annoying, I've kept a copy of the user.ini and bioshock.ini outside of the folder in appdata/roaming so if it crashes I can just copy them back and continue. I don't see how they could've messed it up so badly. I was going to install the regular version from Steam since I have both in there but wanted to check the museum and directors commentary out. I've managed to get to Arcadia and mostly done that level so slowly getting there.

Took me over 40 hours to complete the game and all challenges (probably 50% of that time is menu/loading etc). One achievement short of perfect game, but I can't force myself to undergo this torture again... Bioshock 2 remastered is slightly more stable, but "slightly" is a keyword.
Good thing I got both for free...

I don't see how they could've messed it up so badly.

What's even more ridiculous, is that it actually looks worse than the original. They've only updated textures, but totally messed up shaders. Reflections no longer look as impressive, and lighting effects always caused purple blotches on my PCs (GTX750Ti, GTX950Ti, R9 270X and RX560 all have this issue, so it's definitely some flock-up in the engine).

Interesting.
I've played trough both Bioshock 1+2 Remastered with my i 3-4160 and GTX 950 'Gigabyte Xtreme' system and had almost no issues I can recall.
Used 1440P trough DSR even.

Looks like you are one helluva lucky dude. I haven't touched it since 2017, about 5 patches in, but given that @MrGRiMv25 still has same issues, and people still complain in reviews, I'd say not everything got fixed.
Though, recent reviews are more or less positive, so they did something useful in the last patch... I guess(except bring back old water, reflections, non-buggy shaders etc.).
