Why is this game so ugly?

[Danq]

Stylized graphics can look wonderful. This ain it bro.

The texturing work here especially is absolutely horrible. Among the worst I have ever seen. for the "anime" look. They literally used photo-based textures and just filtered them in photoshop with "paint doubs". They are also low resolution. I cant believe a game that is know for the "style" of persona is this ugly. Also it runs like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? The UI is going for the classic Persona look, which is fine but holy crap what a mess the overall presentation is. They just added the weirdest color filters on top of the whole shait and called it a day. Ugh.

Pretty sure that just means they're not using it fully.

Yea... you want your computer to use 99% of your GPU. That's what it's supposed to do.

I prefer limiting my games to my monitor's hz limit to keep the stress on the gpu low. Not only does this reduce fan noise but it also gives the hardware a longer lifespan. Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 can easily keep up 120 fps and the gfx card has room to spare.

Metaphor on the other hand is using 99-100% of the GPU and still can't reach 120 fps. For a game that looks like it should be getting 60 fps on a PS3, this is NOT a good thing.

I don't know what to tell you, I'm pretty pleased with the graphical and art style myself. As far as how it runs, I've been running it on a five year old laptop without issue with all the settings maxed.

Why is <inserts subjective phenomenon entirely localised in his brain>?


Some people seem to have either no idea how a conversation works, or just have the weird need to be dishonest.

You're setting yourself up to fail either way.

The game is objectively ugly in multiple areas. Maybe if atlus had a bigger budget they'd add a smidge of aa

it's a bit ugly. I don't really care though, I love the game. I'm used to the ugly now.

game looks mostly just fine, exept when it comes to 2 or 3 animated cutscenes... characters look out of place in those... those animated scenes in general tough.. are really bad compared to persona 5 >.< while evrything else in the game is on equal ground pretty much with persona 5

100% agreed.

I am usually a graphics wh*re but for some reason I love the look of this game. At first I thought it looked like a mud painting, and now I laaaaarv it. Must be the gameplay has distorted my vision. I am only 25 hrs in and I am digging this shizzle.

Ok, i don't want to bash the game graphics, but for the graphices that like the ps3 era, the game put a lot of load to the gpu, i have 3080 and the amount of load this game put on my gpu is insane, yes if the game graphic is something like cyberpunk 2077 yes this is normal, but for this graphics absolutely not, the game port for pc is really trash.

PS3 era games looked better. This game looks closer to PS2.5. It feels like a halfway point between PS2 graphics and PS3 graphics.

You mean if they made it Ugly intentionally, nope one female NPC is pretty attractive. But she is not playable.

You people are why we can't have good games anymore xD
Because you prioritize graphics of everything else.

It's okay to want $70 games to not look like they released 15 years ago

To be clear, I put over 100 hours into Metaphor, I think it's a phenomenal RPG. If it was 50-60$ I wouldn't complain about the graphics or performance at all. At the very least they should have tried incorporating TAA and/or DLSS at this price point, since the AA is the worst part of the game.

Redefine the word "ugly" and why its a word subjetive and above all why it applies a thing only for you.

I agree for the textures, instead of handpainting it water colors style they applied a stupid filter, Atlus need to hire a specialist for this kind of job, not some random 3D artist. Look how clean the environments of the new Guilty Gears and DBFZ looks. But the worse goes to Dragon Ball Sparking Zero that have the worst environments textures in a cel shaded game.

cool story (goes on with my life)
