When you launch a game for the first time...

Exit Game

"Cool, it works. But I don't have time to play right now."

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

For me, it's about all the ini files that need to be set up before I can mod the game.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

In my situation it's usually a "you know what? I actually don't want to play a game after all."

Happens more often when I have a weed tolerance, and the high wears off before I can even go back inside to boot the computer. (Which is why sometimes I'll load up the game before I go outside to hit the dab rig. That way I'll at least get 10 minutes of enjoyment out of the game.)

As someone who’s been there, you really need to start talking to a therapist about substance use disorder. There is much more to life waiting for you after you put in the hard work to unlock it. There is help, you are not alone.

Disable the Vaseline Squad.

  • Motion Blur

  • Depth of Field

  • Chromatic Aberration

  • Film Grain

  • Vignettes

If it makes the visuals less clear, it can go to hell. So also toss in floating numbers and, if they are truly ugly, enemy health bars.

God of War (2018) defaults to using some kind of ML-based upscaling that made me think the whole thing was jpeg compressed. It didn't look good until I disabled that.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In my opinion, a bit of motion blur is great, specially for when your frame rate is really low. Sure, it blurs things, technically reducing detail, but it adds more motion information to each frame.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Depends on the method used. Most motion blur in videogames look like absolute ass and adds delay to inputs.

Well implemented per object motion blur is fine. But in most games it is just lazily implemented as full screen camera motion blur, you're lucky if you get a slider. If just bumping the mouse causes the whole screen to spasm and smear pixels randomly, then it's better to turn it off.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Unpopular opinion: I consider antialiasing to be part of the vaseline squad these days.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

not unpopular just highly depends on the method. super sampling wouldn't create that effect but approximate methods do.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't even know the difference between the options. In my day we had 1, 2, 3, and 4. What is DLSS? They have played us for absolute fools.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 6 points 1 day ago

DLSS, TXAA, MSAA, TLDS, XLSX... give me an encyclopedia article next to each of these so I can make an informed choice please

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

me ? I disable polygons. ain't no place for that modern shit in my computer

what psychopaths out there be clicking "load game" on first launch.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

And then there are games that try to immediately start the first mission to make things more “immersive”

[–] je_skirata@lemmy.today 45 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Always adjust graphics settings first. Make sure the correct resolution is set, turn off bloom, turn off depth of field, etc etc.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Turn off shaky cam/head bobbing and motion blur.

[–] ampy@discuss.online 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Chromatic aberration is the worst

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yoooo wouldn't it be cool if this game mimicked a flaw of real life cameras to make it more immersive? It makes you feel like you're right there in the action and behind a camera lens!

[–] ampy@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People wearing glasses love it!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 23 hours ago

I was fiddling with my old gear vr recently and it had it sooooo bad. I don't know if all fresnel lenses donor what but it's comical.

Big true. You can't just start the game, you have to go into options to set the volume slider down to 3% so you can un-mute your speakers without shattering your ear drums.

I finally grew out of my incessant need for inverted y. I think I played a couple of games that couldn't invert it in a row after not playing FPSs for a long time and broke the habit.

For flying I still use inverted, of course.

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

Incorrect! Y-Axis: Normal

I hate games that default to inverted. Obviously, the superior option is the Halo trick: tell the player to "Look up using the right stick or mouse" and then set default inverse or not based on what the player does.

Gotta invert that mouse

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Where is the fov slider?!

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Subtitles on, vsync off, and then mess around with controls for half an hour in my usual experience :3

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Ugh, tearing.

VSync on, always.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's what variable refresh rate monitors are for.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (7 children)

As if I'm going to sit at a desk with a tiny-ass monitor when I could relax on the sofa with my cats and play some video games in surround sound.

Subtitles? Yes they're important, but the first thing I do when I launch a new game is go straight to the graphics settings. Controls come next. Accessibility options are the last thing I change before I launch a game.
