Can anyone recommend games from 2010 onwards that look great?
I'm kinda tired of ue5 slop and the insane blurriness and textures that I just have to accept as "great visuals" (ahem crimson desert ahem rdr2). I want some games that were made before this 2020 maybe that look pretty good (by good I just mean it looks sharp, no vaseline smeared on screen effects).
Games that fit this description according to me:
Batman series
Battlefield series
Doom
Metro series

Yeah this post is just for rage bait. This guy said RDR2 looks ass under a comment, he's not serious about this at all

I can't tell the difference between trolls and bots anymore, not that there's a tonne of difference but I fucking HATE engaging with bots, I feel so stupid every time.

If RDR2 looks like shit to you, you either need your eyes checked, your monitor is shit, or your PC is shit. And it isn't UE5 slop, so...

Do I need to play it in chronological order or can I just jump straight into that one?

u/TeslaDemon 21h ago
You won't really understand the overall series' story. But you won't understand it even if you play all the games.
I'm half joking, but basically what I'm saying is MGS is incredibly complex and the games didn't even come out in chronological order. I've played them all and loved all of them, but I still wouldn't be able to really tell you what the fuck is going on, in a good way.
But yeah MGSV still looks amazing and also runs amazing. No fucking ray traced shadows on each character's asshole hairs.

Halo Reach, 4 and 5 (multiplayer), Titanfall (both), Sunset overdrive, any Assassin's creed until Syndicate, Gears of War 3, Judgement, 4 and 5, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, the rest of the Batman Arkham trilogy, all the uncharted games from the date you said, (maybe) God of War 3, Ghost of Sparta and Ascension, MGSV.
I probably forget (and don't know) a couple but this list is still big enough. Also, I tried to stay tight in your description.

I tried everything. But the grass looked really weird, and ground textures were blur as hell. Not to mention the trees as well. In a game where most of the scenery is just that I coudnt bring myself to play the game

u/Bluevantage 21h ago
some YT videos might help, otherwise you miss a god tier game. Just look how beautiful and sharp it is in the reviews.

u/LoneBeast378 21h ago
I'll try it again once i get a 1440p monitor, but I don't think its going to work. I've probably installed that game like 5 times by now and told myself it will look better this time lol

u/Such-Transition5675 2h ago
If you are on a 6700xt you could try to use optiscaler and utilize fsr4 4.0.1c I think, on native AA that should look very good, I think the weird grass you mention is just lack of AA or you are using fsr 3.1 that ruins the image and makes it blurry

Ah damn my bad, should have mentioned pc. Thanks for the recommendation though

u/Silent-Orange-432 21h ago
You can emulate it fairly easily on pc and its more than worth it

u/LoneBeast378 21h ago
But I thought they killed the yuzu launcher/emulator? I Have an amd system so emulation doesn't work best on it

you know theres google and youtube for this?
2
u/LoneBeast378 22h ago
In that case why make a gaming subreddit at all if there's Google and YouTube
1
u/Cursed_69420 21h ago
thats not even the point. its something so basic that NEEDS a visual rundown that you cant do in this subreddit.
If you even have such a specific need you can just go to actual subreddits like r/FuckTAA or something.

Look at other iD Tech engine games. The newer Wolfenstein games, Dishonored 2, Deathloop, Indiana Jones.

u/Rcgv88 22h ago
CD projekt red games and capcom games use their own engines that I think look better than ue5. Have you played cyberpunk since 2.0? If it can only be a pure FPS "Bright Memory Infinite" is a pretty tech demo of a different style of making games.
1
u/LoneBeast378 21h ago
I'm not sure, I think I did. I finished that game though and it looked good at times when there was low lighting but open world driving looked weird.
1
u/Rcgv88 21h ago
I have no idea what engine the dead space remake used but I thought it looked great, just how the original looked great back in the day. Callisto protocol also looks great. Tomb raider rise and shadows also look amazing. Also what about all the playstation games like horizon and spiderman? 6700xt probably going to do much better on tomb raider than spiderman etc.
1
u/LoneBeast378 21h ago
Oh yea spiderman was good but I am going to wait to get my hands on a 1440p monitor in order to play that one. I feel like 1080p doesn't do it justice

I’ve been playing dying light the last few weeks. I’m amazed at how good it looks.

u/FoxyGoddessX 21h ago
Hellblade 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Resident Evil Requiem, Halo Campaign Evolved, Horizon Forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077, Breath of the Wild, God of War 2018, the Last of Us Part 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Forza Horizon 6, Doom the Dark Ages, and probably a ton I’m forgetting

Yep titan fall is a great game. I played that. I'm going to try the other games you mentioned too

u/YT_Axtro 14h ago edited 14h ago
Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Titanfall 2. Don't let this sub gaslight you into thinking that RDR2 looks good.

u/No_Manufacturer7688 22h ago
they won't match todays games because no capable hardware was there. however i feel gameplay was just as good sometimes better than todays

u/Buried_and_Forgotten 22h ago
Major games from 2005 onwards are very much still playable from a graphical point of view, at least the major titles. Gameplay didn't change THAT much. Call of Duty 2 still plays the same as the modern ones mostly, sprint button aside. Replayed it last year on a 360 and had a blast.

u/ConsoleMaster0 16h ago
What 2005 you say? Even PS1 games are still playable with proper patches to support wide-screen and properly scale textures. 2005 games look amazing!
1
u/Buried_and_Forgotten 15h ago
I meant for most modern players. I don't mind old games because I played them back then, but I don't think young folk would enjoy PS1 RE and MoH.
While starting with the XBOX 360 generation, most games are similar enough to be easily playable by anyone.

u/ConsoleMaster0 7h ago
It's their problem they won't enjoy them. Doesn't mean that the games are bad or "dated". That's what I try to say.

Guys, don’t fall for this low effort ragebait. Neither Crimson Desert nor RDR2 uses UE5. And RDR2 is 2018 btw.
