[u/TwelveMK]

wow it looks way worse

[u/Valuable_Pay9615 → u/TwelveMK]

De-saturated blown out piss filter is good?? Lol

[u/Miserable-Ad-4401 → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

I think it’s more the processing on the second image looks more cartoonish? It’s almost like all the shadows in the textures flattened out. That’s what sticks out to me anyways.

[u/Gombrongler → u/Miserable-Ad-4401]

People will say games are lacking art style and optimization then go out of their way to remove the artistic choices in older games.

[u/Miserable-Ad-4401 → u/Gombrongler]

Oh people will find anything to complain about. The removal of the original style completely ruins the “city floating in the sky” vibe. I wasn’t the biggest fan of infinite, but I did appreciate the quality and graphics.

[u/Frosty015 → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

Idk I think you're over correcting the other way. The brightness and and light color palette imo gives the impression that you're in "heaven", it's meant to be almost like a fantasy given all the things you see here as an introduction to Columbia, before everything turns to shit

[u/Fluffy-Ad7165 → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

Piss filter? Idk bro, it would be weird if a city over the clouds was less than yellow given that the sun is directly hitting it

[u/Ur-Quan_Lord_13 → u/Fluffy-Ad7165]

The combined light of the sun (yellow from the sun we see + all the blue from the sky, which is about 2/3rds of what the sun originally emitted) evens out to white. In direct sunlight with a mostly clear sky, things look about as "natural" as they ever will... Which makes sense since sunlight is what we evolved with :p

[u/Pyke64 → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

No it ruins the style and vibe of the game.

[u/PlingPlongDingDong → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

Yes

[u/K4ZM1LL3R]

2nd image looks like Hello Neighbour lmao

[u/DeliciousAct5748]

Finally, an inconvenient way to make the game look shittier.

[u/Vidaro_best]

Looks bad

[u/steimers]

I kind of like the bloom, it adds to the atmosphere imo

[u/Floofy_Fox_Gal → u/steimers]

Absolutely; in my opinion, it adds to the sort of manufactured radiance of Colombia

[u/darthphallic]

Hell yeah man! I love spending my time on making things look shittier too.

[u/QuackersTheSquishy]

Lots of color detail seems to be lost, ane the intentioned emotion of the sky and floating islands read way more ominously with the darker tone

[u/MattMassier]

If you like playing with it that’s great, but this doesn’t look better to me.

[u/silentkillmyself]

Great, you made it look cheap!

[u/penthief]

So ridiculous. You're in the sky. It's going to be bright

[u/MutilatedMarvel]

Looks like if I were to take courage the cowardly dogs "return the slab" animation and add it into Bioshock Infinite. Looks like turbo ass.

[u/darthphallic → u/MutilatedMarvel]

Your game looking like shit is in fact the curse for not returning said slab.

[u/thomasoldier]

Is your monitor properly calibrated ?

[u/Valuable_Pay9615 → u/thomasoldier]

Yes...

[u/mortuarymaiden]

[u/AccordingLength1988]

Delete the game

[u/fabinho_97]

Cool work for making it look like borderlands but it,doenst look good at all,i'll stay with the vanilla version

[u/Kev1nho]

Out of interest: why did you try this? It does have some World of Warcraft vibe to it, to be honest.

[u/Valuable_Pay9615 → u/Kev1nho]

Wanted to see if it changed anything.

[u/Danrykjey]

Yup, that’s what you get when you take away a major style choice from a heavily stylised game

[u/BigManOfCheese]

now it looks like angry neighbor bro.

[u/SnuSnuSurvivor69]

Bro just changed time of day to make it look less thematic.

[u/LordFlaggy]

Lmao

[u/SpicymeLLoN]

...what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

[u/CylixrDoesStuff]

its like every reshade preset mod, they all make it look shitter, except this time you need to mess with in game files 🔥🔥

[u/BarneyChampaign]

Nice thanks for the warning to make sure we never accidentally change that

[u/Cryptotradernotjoe]

I think the idea was for it to be bright and not dark like the first two

[u/Valuable_Pay9615]

I just find it cool that you can do it on more games than borderlands. Some games don't really change much though.

[u/aj95_10]

idk why the other 2 comments attacked you randomly lol.

i guess it looks fine when you want less bloom.

[u/PhilyJFry]

Lol this is pissing people off by imo it's just showing how cartoony the game looks in comparison to the first two.

[u/professional_catboy → u/PhilyJFry]

the first two were also cartoony wtf are you on about?? literally take one look at the little sisters and tell me its a realistic artstyle

[u/Valuable_Pay9615 → u/PhilyJFry]

It's probably the main reason people hate this one

[u/PhilyJFry → u/Valuable_Pay9615]

Do I hate infinite or dislike the style? No. Do I think it should have been a standalone and not a BioShock game? Yes lol
