Insane image sharpening

[Vicpool]

Dunno what the heck they were smoking when decided to green light this game's image sharpening filter/levels. It turns the otherwise beautiful game into an artificial, stiff mess. I admit I'm extremely picky with visuals in videogames, but this particularly annoys me cause being able to turn on/off/up/down image sharpening should be a standard in videogames settings, but here you can't actually fix it no matter what you touch.

You can even see comparisons of people who tweak these options internally (not ingame settings menu, cause you can't), and it looks so much better when they turn down the engine's oversharpening.

Guess I'm waiting til they fix/add this option, or refunding if they refuse to

Edit: In the end, the point is I wouldn't like videogames industry to normalize delegating to players/customers to fix the BASIC things that should be fix/included officially in their game. I know I can personally fix this sharpness mess in Wukong and keep on playing, and call me an idiot, stubborn, mulish or whatever, but I refuse to give the green light to such basic deficiencies as this.

I already applied for refund. Even in 1440p and cinematic settings, game looks awful bcoz of the over sharpness.
I played Ghost of Tsushima .. that game is insanely beautiful while perfectly sharpened.. this game deserves that too.

GOT is way more polished, runs better and looks better, also supports HDR which they now fixed better, allthough suckerpunch is a well known developers that has more years of experience than game science. We just need a few patches for Wukong

Here's a way to remove the sharpening, add it to your game folder and open the .ini file, set 'sharpening' to 'false' https://github.com/Lyall/UltrawidePatches/tree/main/Black%20Myth%20Wukong

I appreciate your help/support, and don't wanna sound rude, but that's the "unorthodox" way I was talking about. I'm glad people can fix it this way, and also the fact that, thanks to this, we all have the "proof" that it isn't that crazy/hard to ask for an OFFICIAL fix in the form of adding the option to turn sharpening down/off in-game, without the need of editing files, installing mods or whatever other ways people are finding to fix this. So again, I'm thankful for your comment, but what I'm asking for is a proper, official way to change this in game settings, so I'm gonna wait and see if these devs are decent people, or I'm just returning their game (I'm inclined to think that they will, cause there's many people complaining about this matter, and in general the game looks so promising, so I hope they don't ♥♥♥♥ up with such a simple thing).

Just cause I'm a bit tired/burned out of customers having to find ways to fix things that should be basic and standard in videogames, and imo devs should be a little more serious/involved when cooking their games, and don't delegate to customers to "fix their sh1t".

Have a nice day!

You have to set it to "true", not "false"

I get your frustration, and I know that young people today don't know what DOS is anymore, but editing a single word in a .ini fine is hardly what I would call a dealbreaker for any experienced PC player.

Reading your comment, let me say I don't really think you actually GET "my frustration". It's not a matter of a personal issue/headache to fix an easy problem on my/your/their own. It's a matter of ethical/moral principles, related to quality standards we could or should ask for, or what I (again, subjectively) think is fair, justified, or, on the other hand, lacking, and so I have the right to complain, inform or report.

And if we are going to play the "young people today" card, I can also say (as a man in my thirties) that young people today seem to have a dangerous propensity to eat whatever they throw at them, even if it means accepting to take a lot of steps back in basic standards or rights, and whenever anybody in its full right asks for anything basic, it's all a matter of "you are a whiner", "wow dude you can fix that yourself easy peasy", "close the door when you leave", etc.

I guess that the day you order a burger, they bring you a plate with raw potatoes, and you complain because you (logically) expect the potatoes to be fried, "you" are going to tank like a champ the comments saying "boohoo what a whiner man, potatoes are so easy to fry, you can do it on your own, kids today can't do anything, blablabla...". Whether it hurts or not, it's the shame thing. Keep this way, and in some years maybe you can't turn up/down the volume inside game settings, but hey, you can Alt+Tab, and go to system sound settings and adjust whatever on your own, or mouse sensitivity, or whatever you please...

Hope you can actually get my frustration now

This fix really helped because the graphics on my Oled monitor were very poor, everything was too sharp and objects around were flashing. I also reduced the motion blur.

I am going to give this a try. The sharpening is so strong it ruins the experience for me, especially in the second chapter, where it is way more visible.

Did you request a refund because the game has a sharpening issue ? I mean, is that the only reason ?

So, you're more interested in complaining about it than spending 2 mins changing it?
