What visual enhancement mods are actually good? HD Texture packs usually ruin the consistency of the art design, Skyrim mods are straight up ugly with very few exceptions and enough has been said about the Half Life 2 Cinematic mod.

Stop this unfunny, repetitive shit
Sikkmod+POM for id Tech 4 games wasn't bad.
I took this shot with extremely exaggerated settings, mind. DoF isn't really supported and crashes the game between levels half the time.
>>344154128
Skyrim has some good ENBs, but most of the texture mods are inconsistent as all hell.
That and there's people who seriously will have 4k textures for potions and items.
For audio there's Audio Overhaul which is fantastic for the most part.
Are there any Skyrim mods that make the animation look any good?
>>344154443
get your tourettes checked
its not actually possible to improve the visual fidelity of games, things like anti-aliasing, ssao, shadows, texture filtering, bloom, are all personal choice
people reject this simple reality, because they first choose a "goal" in their mind, such as realism, and prefer things that make the game look more like their goal
but realism is not the goal. the goal is whatever you want it to be
hardware manufacturers depend upon this aspect of human nature, and it never fails. The fact that the art and "the medium the art appears on" are not actually closely related is simple and obvious, so people quickly discard it as uninformative
and not only that, but most game engines conform to this truth without you even realizing it, it's simply not possible to improve the resources the game already uses, all you can do is apply a bunch of post-processing crap on top of what the game is already doing
I will be honest. I really like Cinematic Mod if you take out the Models. I think it looks a million times better and feels more alive. The Character Models are pretty bad, but if you just use the Original Ones its fine honestly. I never got the hate boner /v/ has for it.
This texture pack for Windwaker.
It´s the exact same style only higher res, as every hd texture pack should be
>>344155747
I couldn´t take it serious after seeing the screenshots with bridges and ferns fucking everywhere, also that crashed plane.
Some parts are good, but it deviates way to fucking much from the original style and feeling of the game
>>344154128
SHTUP
Or I think something like that
For SS2 is pretty good.
>>344154128
I think the NMC texture packs for New Vegas look great. It keeps mostly the exact same style with a few exceptions, with just ridiculously much better textures.

>as every hd texture pack should be
I accept stylistic differences if it's something where the original game is so old the original textures couldn't support the actual intent, and newer, but different ones can.
the halo CE remake graphics do that, but people are too stupid to realize it and whine about them
>>344155747
It's not supposed to feel alive.
This is a near dead world with depleted resources, and having giant structures that aren't destroyed makes no sense, considering the combine invasion.
>>344157026
The Reach art looks damn nice but it's looks so weird in Anniversary.
DID SOMEONE SAYFERNS?

I refuse to believe that this is actually in the mod.
There´s no way that someone made this, looked at his creation and though "Yep, that looks good and makes sense being there"

Did they do anything to improve the character models? How about Alyx? Did they add more details? Fully model some part of her maybe?

I really like what MGSO does to Morrowind.

>>344158232
Just for screenshots. However, turning on motion blur and setting it low helps to cover up screen tearing without having to use vsync. However I doubt anything I can say will convince you beyond your I'm-fitting-in hatred for certain effects.

Fuck off Hans, nobody likes your fern extravaganza.
Even with all its questionable decisions and horrible (thankfully completely optional) models, HL2 CM is much better than vanilla.

I used to install texture packs and other mods on every god damn game possible without consideration of aesthetic or game design. Glad I grew out of that phase.
I really hate games that take 10% of human color perception and go "this will have to do", so personally I really loved mods that unfuck farcry2, fallout3, human revolution, RE5 etc.
>>344168154
>unfuck
Human Revolution is fucked without piss filter m8
>>344168154
muh atmosphere
muh artistic vision
Up to the cervix
>>344168154
Far Cry 2 makes up for it with detail imo. Don't mind the filter too much in New vegas since it probably hides more flaws. Curious to see it with some proper colour correction though.
>>344168154
Colour grading is a technique that's been used in movies for years. It's silly to say a zombie apocalypse should be bright and colourful.
>>344169495
I agree, white snow is silly. True artists only want green snow in their kino.
>>344168643
Vanilla Matrix 1 (without the green filter) looked sad, generic and cheap tbqhfam

It's not about the colour of the snow, it's about setting a mood.
>>344170780
Exactly! How will we know how to feel unless the sky is green and the clouds are yellow? People might think it's Earth and not Namek.

Now post one that isn't green.

I like the top one, everyone else above has garbage taste.
>>344158296
Was the plane flying during the invasion and crash?
Why is there a building that would have been under water at that time right there?
How the ever loving hell did it not hit that bridge?
>>344169495
>It's silly to say a zombie apocalypse should be bright and colourful.
Not really. Look at Dead Rising and that other Zombie game that has tons of color. They look better than the grim zombie games and they're fun.
Somebody just post that fully modelled vagina webm already.
>>344176739
Yeah, but you can't say they're going for the same thing RE is.
I mean, even RE4 has colour toning, just done with the lighting and texturing instead of a shader.
>>344176950
The what now?
>>344177661
Speaking of.
I just wanted to point out that you werewrong.I know about all the techniques to set a mood used by movies and games. I like that shit.
Minor ones usually, like ones that improve character models.
Most texture mods come in two categories.
1. Uprezzed and sharpened the original texture in photoshop. These are retarded as fuck.
2. Actually new textures, usually look like crap because zero good art direction. Often they are just photosourced pictures.
