Why arent you running a reshade user?

Right looks souless, unironically

Color and shading like that doesn't fit the atmosphere of Ashina falling to shit

Reshades are for absolute faggots who don't understand colour grading at all and think cranking the saturation and contrast up to make one scene look painful is a good reason to completely trash 70% of the games visuals.

This is what i used in the op

I only use Reshade with Lumasharpen in games that force TAA or are just too pixelated without it. Color correction always felt like a meme to me, too hard to get right for every area.

Many games have the notorius gray fog of blandness that only reshade can fix.

and it still looks like shit why do retards not understand that is over saturated.

Key to saturation and contrast is to go easy with it, if a preset is too aggressive then tone it to half of the values it uses.

>Many games have the notorius gray fog of blandness that only reshade can fix.
Try correctly configuring your monitor faggot.

i always do, from games always look like dogshit especially grey souls 3
not saying right is great but left has no soul whatsoever

Fucking kek, I was just about to post that and got a duplicate file error.

It looks like absolute shit, reshade kiddies need to fuck off, learn to configure their monitors, stop buying cheap as fuck monitors and learn how to adjust basic things like contrast and saturation before they they start hamfistedly fucking with an entire games art direction.

It worked perfectly fine for Dark Souls, denaturation is just a meme that people mistake for artistic choice, the real artistic touch is good use of color not lack of color.
Just too many people got memed on by Hollywood trash into thinking, desaturated colors=mature and artistic.

Some game just fucking lie in the brightness/contrast test and you have to go lower than what seems correct or use reshade.

DaS3 looks nice with reshade actually

I bet these fags would turn on the BT.2020 color space and just use that for everything if they knew how to. Instant eye-raping over-saturation everywhere, no reshade required!

If it's too much just use the reshade sliders to tone it down, or are you too retarded to do that?

Modders really do have the worst taste. It's quite embarrassing. Something getting more saturated doesn't make it better. That's literally the mentality of a child.

I prefer the muted colors over eye raping oversaturation. are you colorblind op?

How is color childlike, how the fuck do you come to such a ridiculous conclusion? Movies and games before the current era always had strong color, you're too young to realize that the desaturated look is nothing but a fad of the current age and will probably be gone in a few years never to be seen again.

A month ago or so I've realized that Nvidia's using Limited range RGB when connected with HDMI by default.
When I've switched to Full the difference was unbelievable. Something may be wrong with your settings. I was using it like that for 5 years without even realizing how much better image quality can be.

I'm glad I didn't have time to play Sekiro because I would have played it with that awful gamma bug.
I noticed it was weird but I thought it was just the art direction that wanted that.

was the game too depressing and forebrooding for you?

You can set the values however the fuck you want, so no.
Reshade trully save some game's visuals. Especially older games since current games basically use the same kind of post processing effects, but by default, and you can't turn them off obviously, making your pic looks even more clueless.

Fuck, I should replay ds after Sekiro

This is true, however OP's pic is still too much

I have one that fixes the black levels and that's it
anything else is superfluous

>I M A BIG BOY I LIKE BRIGHT COLOUR AND CEREAL DARKSOUL IS THE JOJO OF GAMING
the clown gen isn't allowed with adults, little shit stain.

Why bother when you could just bump up the color and turn on dynamic contrast on your TV, it's the exact same artstyle ruining shit.

cranking the saturation on a desaturated image doesn't make an image "colorful", it makes it oversaturated. a colorful image has color highlights that stand out from more muted tones. in an oversaturated image, everything looks equally colorful

in the OP image, the snow on the right looks fucking blue. it's not supposed to be blue.

Sekiro is a little undersaturated, and it might benefit from upping the saturation a couple notches, but these images are garish and horrible.

I usually do but I actually like sekiro's default orange tint type look

Most people overdo settings when using Reshade. Moderation is the key, especially when it comes to color adjustments and sharpening. Don't just crank every slider to the max (like in my pic). Only make the colors a bit more vibrant and use a slight sharpening filter.

Even though I agree with you, I still believe it’s perfectly fine if someone wants the game look differently. That’s the beauty of PC, you can tweak the game in whatever way you want to

Yes that is true that many people oversaturate games when they get reshades and overdo it but it's also true that the default of many games is just plain drab and the opposite problem of under doing it.
People are going to look back and say, "Hey I remember when people thought that looked good, what were they thinking?", it's going to be like people looking back at mullets or parachute pants, as a silly fad and are going to go back to interesting use of color.
For as long as drab=artistic lasts, at no time in the history of art have people thought that lack of color ever looked good except for now, it's going to pass, no one is going to look back at now and think it was a good artistic choice, but as a passing fad that people are better off leaving behind.

Attached: 1550651105463.jpg (2023x1589, 2.29M)

The game on PC is fucked and uses the wrong black space, you can fix it easily with levels plus filter.

It doesn't matter what the artists and developers intend for the game to look, most TVs/Monitors are going to be calibrated incorrectly and display different colours than what the artists see with their colour accurate monitors.

Because I'm playing with HDR you pleb

I just use vibrance gui

what mods are you running?

I used Reshade to make the black levels lower, but that's it. Fucking with the contrast, saturation, or anything else is fucking retarded for this game.

reshade aka "make everything more blue"

You're retarded. There's no "makes things more blue!!" option. It's a very complex tool and only retards get retarded results.

Reshade is only good for games which have a LUT that fucks up the whole atmosphere through the entire game (such as Ghost Recon Wildland's default sepia filter)

That's the results of this particular Reshade preset. You can always make your own preset or edit a premade one.

It's really not though. I'm not having fun with it but I find it beautiful. I pirated it if you're wondering whether it's buyer's remorse or not.

Cuz reshade is for wanna be artists that think their own vision is better than the devs. The only acceptable "reshade" garbage is fixing contrast and brightness, nothing else.

That's why you make your own.

>Reshades are for absolute faggots who don't understand colour grading at all
Or for people who do and want games to actually have decent colors. Most games have fucking retards making them and they're washed out as hell. Like the vast majority of them have their entire palettes smushed, so they look gray all the time.

Not him and both do look alright but sometimes people just don't want sepia filters and reshade will let you fix that. One game I enjoyed fixing was Dragons Dogma because there is a ton of color in there but the colors were just so shit they had to mute it all. I restored the colors without fucking up the balance and felt really good about it.

Turn off sharpening, that looks awful. The game already has a sharpen filter.

Only necessary for Bethesda games because they're stuck in mid 2000s graphics and the darker bland lighting that goes with it to fake realism.

Not him but sometimes the sharpening is actually more subtle depending on the display and how far you sit from it. I play DMC5 on my TV and my sharpening settings are perfect to counteract the blurry TAA. Then I looked at a screenshot on my computer monitor and it looked like AIDS.

you legitimately must have some sort of colorblindness if you think right looks better

Sure but that still looks awful, you're only increasing the aliasing with settings like that. It's okay for games to look a bit blurry.

It doesn't take much work, just focus on adjusting contrast/levels to make colors pop and not be washed out. There was a really good shader I was using called Filmic Grade I think, and it was a powerful levels tool that let me darken darks and brighten the brights. It totally eradicated washed out game visuals.

Reshade is good but you have to learn how to use it or you're going to be downloading presets made for someone else's system meaning it'll probably look bad to you. And most people releasing reshades seem to be mentally retarded so it proably looks bad to everyone.

Pic here isn't an example of something good, it's just showing what you can do with reshade in literally 2 seconds by moving sliders around. This tool is what I used, it's really fast and easy to completely change the mood of a game using this

>moon turns into a lightbulb
>plants become a mess

I am. But usually on second or third playthroughs. When I see the vanilla look and what changes I want to see. Also helps that by then I have multiple presets to choose. Dragon's Dogma looks great with a ReShade. There's something about the default shadows in that game that make it look so smudgy and shitty.

I really don't get these posts. It's like a bitter consolecuck wrote them. It's like they hate choices and freedom of other people. And it's like they're not even aware that ReShades and ENBs are highly customizable for whatever "feel" they want out of the game.

And they always fall back to "b-but devs intended!" when that's clearly not the case for a lot of popular mods and fixes. No devs didn't intend to make their games buggy and ugly while also dropping to 20FPS on shitboxes. Some mods are more inline with their original vision then the actual finished products.

That's the original. Right is bluray edition.

What's his point then? In that case, the "developers" do know better than the "modders" (BluRay creators).

The company that has the rights fucked up the bluray, showing that devs/creators don't always know best.

They are one in the same.

What a dumb nigger. Mods are free and made by the community. BluRay and HD re-releases are official and from the fucking company itself.

And the individual "devs" are fucking retards sometimes too. Just look at George Lucas.

For the same reason I also don't turn up the brightness on my TV to 100, apparently.

The problem with reshade is that its universal, game developers can the tone of individual area by changing its lighting but a reshade preset will apply universally unless you're autistic and make 20 presets for every situation.

this is very obviously low settings and people are still taking the bait.

The only thing you should enable with reshade is "levelsplus" and fix the limited RGB range.
This game doesn't have true blacks so the contrast is bad. It's a common thing with japanese games.

It's on the highest settings, actually. Those are taken on the first area, one of them before you even get a sword. I haven't returned to the game since then but I hope the later areas are actually more refined.

Why tho? Your shader makes the game more blue

That was the problem with SweetFX to some extent but Reshade is significantly more powerful. You can create luts on the fly and adjust individual colors. It's also got some powerful lighting shaders, the qint bloom for instance is mind blowing when you use it on a modern game(doesn't work well on older games). And thanks to hotkeys you can turn on/off shaders on a whim if they look bad in one area but good in another one.

You're not wrong, but it's not impossible to make a game look better without adjusting sliders all the time. Just keep your tweaks small and try to fix the base issues with the visuals and not the base issue of an area. I persaonlly just get rid of fog whenever possible and bring out colors as much as I can without damaging the game's aesthetic. Sometimes I tone down bloom or add bloom too, can really change how a game looks(pic related had majorly toned down bloom and it looks pretty cool).

Sekiro actually fucked up by outputting only 16-235 limited RGB levels. This is why you can't get black blacks no matter how much you adjust the brightness slider.

Reshade with levels+ lets you fix this.

Normal levels would work too. I left the blacks alone though I just tweak the colors a bit to make it look a bit more realistic and not washed out with one color. Game looks okay as it is imo.

Developers are fucking stupid. The vast majority of games are outputting below normal color ranges. Forget HDR, this isn't fully LDR.

because enbseries and nu-enbseries are for underage that think everything is better with more saturated colors

>I really don't get these posts. It's like a bitter consolecuck wrote them. It's like they hate choices and freedom of other people.
but user, consoles have reshade too! you just go in your TV's settings and turn the color saturation all the way up because that's what every fucking 'shader' is.
