I think the author's list of "ugly" games is missing Witcher III, Hellblade, God of War (2018), Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate... And we need some examples of good,

  In my experience Elden Ring looks better when you turn the graphics quality down. Baldur's Gate isn't particularly ugly for a '98 game. And I agree that it would be nice to have some positive examples. I think there were a bunch of SNES games which did it well, but that may just be nostalgia.

    given the rest of the games listed I assume he means baldurs gate 3. Many younger people out themselves by just calling it baldurs gate.

    > Baldur's Gate isn't particularly ugly for a '98 game. I remember it looked beautiful. Especially comparing to early 3D games of that era.

  > tone mapping, like any scene of a Hollywood movie set in Mexico That's not tone mapping, but color grading

  I'm not sure you were being ironic, I find the witcher 3 and elden ring beautiful

    I think Elden Ring is a little ugly but still a world I want to experience.

      While the graphics aren't as good as some other modern titles, the world and art design make up for it ten times over. There are a bunch of locations that could be paintings, especially: - The first steps in Limveld - Liurnia of the Lakes (from Stormveil) - Leyndell - The first look at the Scadutree - Cerulean Coast - Stone Coffin Fissure - Enir Ilim I can't remember another property with a similar diversity of incredibly beautiful and imposing areas.
