Graphics are a turbo bad blurry mess if you run the game as-is. Either putting the -Dx11 thingy into a shortcut fixes it or disabling some of the graphic settings, idk I did both at the same time.
It's especially a problem in the character editor which by default looks like 10 times worse than the actual game for some reason.
If you want to have a laugh put everything but texture quality on LOW (which is ironic considering its the damn textures that get put on minecraft levels), I have never seen a fucking unreal engine game look like THAT on low settings
it looks like a damn glitch or something, it doesn't look real
at least the character editor looked like a fucking mess
I always forget about the DX11 thingy since i assume by default UE5 doesn't have dx11 considering i always see a DX12 folder where the exe is (inside bin folder)
And, let's face it, modern games need no actual reason to be resource-hungry. It's the lack of hardware limitations that drive game "developers" to not optimize their games in any capacity, because why would they, just tell people to get the latest 9090RTXGTI card that costs more than a car.
Just look at a turd like Starfail'd. That game literally even can't play audio files unless it's installed on an SSD and there should be zero reason to install it on an SSD unless you don't have an HDD at all (it worked "perfectly fine" on an HDD otherwise when I tried, though "perfectly fine" is compared to an SSD installation, which had a 50% chance to crash every time you used a door, so...).
Modern games also need no fucking reason to be 100 gb's plus hell some are reaching 150 or even 200 lmao!
and i REALLY, REALLY fucking doubt its because the graphics are """""""better""""""", its because developers see no reason to compress textures anymore because "HEHE JUST BUY A BIGGER HDD/SSD!, PROBLEM SOLVED BRO!",
yeah how about you fukin' pay for it then
and don't even get me started on how games come incomplete now and they sell you the missing parts as dlcs... amazing how complacent and apathetic consumers have become, its why companies get away with everything nowadays, the bad optimization included.
Also I'm pretty sure the reason why graphics cards cost a fortune now is those fuckers that do "mining" or whatever it was called, and scalpers, because before they werent THAT expensive.

Well its Bugthesda, you have to expect problems, after all
"IT JUST WORKS and if it doesn't modders will fix it for free! by sixteen times even."

Also the fact that some games outright REQUIRE an ssd to run is asinine in it of itself, ssd's are usually way smaller than an HDD and more expensive, and with idiotic companies not compressing their games you end up with an almost full SSD with just like 2 or 3 games installed at most
I mean look at the Master chief Collection, you get so many games and the file size is STILL under today's games. Yeah sure the graphics aren't like "hyper realistic" so the size is gonna be smaller, but why are graphics even being pushed so damn hard to begin with?, then developers bitch that "it costs money to make games", yeah asshole maybe don't put 90% of the focus on graphics then, I assure you it will be far cheaper to make your games that way.
That makes me physically and emotionally Ill, i thought people FINALLY forgot about that youtuber bait garbage, maybe they should eject that game from the internet period.
Watch next thing they will be referencing poppy playtime too
or the low hanging fruit, fnaf.
I guess you could say "amogus" is low hanging fruit as well.
Everything is better back in the day because people and music and everything, were and are better. Now everything went FUBAR after the 2010s, from games to people.
Seriously I am looking at Unholy maiden and that game from the demo, will surely beat GTA6 in my books. Regardless how good RDR2 or GTA5 was, it isn't going to be GTA4 or prior unless they actually try to be.
And L4D is the ultimate coop game, nobody comes even close to try to match it. Everyone fails because they don't know the fundamental design why it succeeds and everyone is looking at it from a surface level of view.
Didn't play RDR2 (im far more interested in the first one, but alas, the pc version is dogshit from what i've heard! the usual) because honestly that game looks so damn boring, everything takes an unnecessary amount of time, its OVER-animated, honestly cockstar's not been the same since gta V online got released, they shifted into a greedy soulless corporation, i have played GTA 4 and 5, they both have their ups and downs but gta 4's driving is definitely way more enjoyable than the flat "every car handles the same" gta V's style of handling, shooting was better on 4 too because those ragdolls are VERY entertaining.
and l4d2 i still play it to this day lol, not EVERY DAY but, regularly enough, i remember when i played the first one (sequel wasnt a thing yet) those were the golden days
This applies to any game really if you look deeply. We forgot quality and originality for fast food graphics so we can be amazed for 5 seconds instead of 10 or infinite years.
Fast food gaming sums it up quite well I feel, yes. Now you play something and you forget about it in a few days or weeks
yet i still remember when i played the original deus ex, years ago
or resident evil 4, or nfs most wanted (the latter 2 on ps2 and pc later on)
I still remember how Shadow of Colossus on the PS2 is legendary or Thief 1 with its audio design and stealth design. It would be easier to list the games that weren't good back in that era and even those were noticeable because they were bad but also original.
Now? Everything is mediocre, copies one another and requires you to spend so much money on PC and access to the game(DLC). Even the "competitive " games do that, not only they use stupid algorithms to addict you to play more and spend more but with each update requires superior CPU or specs. You can't play competitive games today if you're not high end user.
Welcome to the modern era, and I could start talking about non-games as well. But it isn't the place.
I just hope this game succeeds with its optimization. It just leaves a horrible taste if you can't run it
Developers nowadays (if we are talking about "mainstream stuff that is") take it safe because games cost a shitload to make now (THANKS NEEDLES 8K GRAPHICS!!) so they don't want to make unique things because if it bombs they lose a lot of money (its always about the money, companies are
not your friend)
I stay away from online competitive games because they stress me out (too many nolifers and too much grind)
I remember playing shadow the colossus on ps2 also lol, sadly never got a pc port, never finished it either on ps2.
