Well?
And the HDR lighting?

Doesn't seem to take advantage of some features that are now considered the norm, even on console based open world RPG's.

Sorry, there's absolutely no excuse, Skyrim's visuals are terrible.
Don't give me that 'its early in development' thing either, cause its a stupid argument.

Bethesda are, again, too lazy to properly develop the visual elements of an engine for their games.

--Edit, this isn't something a 'superior textures pack' is going to fix either, this is ridiculous.

I like the boxes.

Graphics make the game. I only play games to look at them and then brag to other people about how nice the games I own look. Any game that does not look like real life is a bad game.

That's funny cuz Skyrim has both specular and HDR. This guy is getting mad at nothing.

Velorien, and others.

GRAPHICAL CAPABILITY IS NOT A PREREQUISITE FOR VISUAL BRILLIANCE, THAT BEING SAID, IT IS NOT A CHOICE BETWEEN 'GOOD GAMEPLAY', OR 'GOOD GRAPHICS' YOU STUPID, PREJUDICAL, IGNORANT [censored]HEADS.

.. This was "Filmed" on a console you know...

Thats irrelevant, the game looks like [censored] and you know it.
Justify its inferior graphics or leave.

Closed for review.

Reviewed. I see no justification for re-opening this.
