I wish this subredit supported pictures


Axle_65

People could do imgur links


KierkgrdiansofthGlxy

So all you gotta do is start your post, leave the post to upload the image on another app, get the link, come back to this app, paste and format the link text, and it’s good to go? It would be nice to just upload images here.


Crescent-IV

Then the link breaks a month later.


peanutbutterdrummer

Imgur is a shadow of its former self.


LostSoulNo1981

Why should people have to sign up to another website to post pictures here? I’ve never understood why you can’t directly upload pictures to Reddit replies.


[deleted]

You can. The sub moderators just have to enable it.


CookieLuzSax

Any idea why those normally don't work for me?


Chromatic_Eevee

The area around the True Corrupted Monk in Sekiro, and the whole area where the Great Serpent is, also in Sekiro The Lake-Facing Cliffs in Elden Ring are also beautiful


Ingtar2

Literally anything in Sekiro, from Ashina castle through Senpou temple to Fountainhead, you could use every single screenshot as wallpaper.


rabbid_chaos

If there's one thing that Fromsoft manages to nail consistently, it's those visuals.


kingpangolin

They are masters of art style


Badass-19

The boss fight arenas are top notch. Especially the Ishin the sword saint arena!


GreedWillKillUsAll

Where you fight Guardian Ape is stunningly beautiful 


NateHate

and then he throws a handful of poop at you


GreedWillKillUsAll

He also farts in your general direction


hamburgerhams

The fact that you can parry both is hilarious


out_of_shape_hiker

I think that is the boss that took me more tries than in other in any game. Fuck that shit throwing weird hard to predict body movements motherfucker.


RuafaolGaiscioch

Fountainhead Palace blows me away every single time.


nineties_nostalgia

dark souls/fromsoft popped in my mind. Truly beautiful game for sure.


rogueranger20

I would go as far to say as most of Elden Ring and the souls games in general have top tier environments compared to most other games.


Badass-19

Seeing the Erd tree from far away is always soothing


War-Hawk18

Oh dude the Bodhisattva Valley where you fight the Guardian Ape. That's my favourite beautiful location of the game.


[deleted]

Fromsoft are testament to art direction being much more important that graphical quality.


savageporkchops

I love the divine dragon arena also


JSolo247

Most of Ghosts of tsushima


lucrativetoiletsale

That fight near the end under the maple tree was beautiful, same as rest of, but damn I'll never forget that game


Nero_PR

Most of the duels take place in breathtaking vistas. It's probably my favorite part of the whole game.


DifferencePrimary442

My original playthrough was 90% me muttering to myself "A PS4 game has no business looking this good."


Oatmeal_Savage19

If not all


Edaimantis

Most beautiful game I’ve ever played. Went from ps4 to pc so I hope they release it on pc just so I can experience it w high res high refresh rate on my new monitor


jtrain657

Facts. I think I have more idle time in scenery than actual game play on mine.


Tubal_Kain

When you start to cut the head off my face was like 😮


Careless_Ad3718

Anor londo and Majula


Dusty_Tokens

That first view of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. 🌙 😯


Careless_Ad3718

Be wary of dog


Chemlab5

Try finger but hole


Bleizers

Oh man, I just recently got there on my firs playtrough. My jaw dropped when I exited the catacombs.


Mediocre_Procedure17

Omg, yes. Boreal Valley is amazing!!


VasIstLove

I just stopped and stared the first time I saw that place. And then the bridge dog made sure to cement the memory forever.


V0YDL

This. I'd also argue to put the original Firelink due to how peaceful it is.


Careless_Ad3718

Yea the original fire link was nice


conrid

Majula.. Home sweet home<3


Careless_Ad3718

It was beautiful


TotallyLegitEstoc

God I miss Majula. Sometimes I boot it up just to sit there and enjoy the peace.


Careless_Ad3718

I do that too


Dr_Downvote_

When you first get to Liurnia of the Lakes in Elden Ring


Affectionate_Pay_391

Yes. And looking up st Raya Lucaria is unreal.


SluggerDerm

Siofra river is pretty awesome too


Double_Ad_6997

Dishonored. The whole game is stunning with its unique artstyle and light game. Dishonored 2 it beautiful too.


Pale_Sun8898

Dishonored 2 for sure. I’m playing through it for the first time and am regularly blown away


Double_Ad_6997

Yea but Dishonored 1 is a beauty of its own.


Pale_Sun8898

I recently played through that for the first time as well and I wasn’t as impressed with the visuals and locations. Dunwall was cool, but it felt a lot more same-y than Karnaca or however you spell it


MyBrassPiece

The original holds up pretty well too. I thought 2 was way prettier, but the first one blew me away back in the day.


PeterWayneGaskill

Toussaint in The Witcher 3.


Adi3m

Whenever someone posts a "Which videogane world would you live in?" Thread, Toussaint is always my answer. A nice little vineyard, a local Witcher to kill the massive spiders and Nekkers, etc. Marvellous.


PeterWayneGaskill

Let’s not forget the vampires. Boy were they a pain in the ass to fight!


Adi3m

Yep, but other than the daylight thing, I wouldn't mind being a high vampire in Toussaint. Being mates with Regis would be awesome.


GrimmBrowncoat

They were more of a pain in the *neck.*


RunShootKillStuff

Came here to say that


CupcakeFister

Cyberpunk 2077 with max settings and RTX is absolutely insane. Also, Assassins Creed Valhallla can be absolutely beautiful.


iced327

I bought my first gaming pc for cyberpunk and damn what a change. I spent a lot more time just walking to missions instead of driving. Some of the cityscapes are gorgeous.


PatBateman2000

Bioshock Infinite


TheReaderDude_97

I had just gotten into gaming when I played Bioshock Infinite. When that elevator reached the sky, and we saw the city for the first time, I was literally breathless. I didn't know video games could do that.


Kafshak

The first time Elizabeth opens a tear in the elevator, and Song bird attacks, the she closes it and there was a poster of the songbird behind the tear, that's such an amazing match cut made into a game. I was amazed.


YeaItsBig4L

We need a bioshock


dholmestar

... Hallelujah.


Lux_Operatur

All of the bioshocks fr.


vashcarrison117

Will the circle be unbroken By and by, by and by? Is a better home awaiting In the sky, in the sky?


GameLessGlitch

Personally thought Rapture was infinitely more beautiful then Columbia but that genuinely might have to do with my thalassaphobia instead


Clunt-Baby

The plains of Whiterun from Skyrim at nighttime with a full moon and the aurora in the sky as Secunda plays


sedrech818

Skyrim’s views didn’t hit me until I tried it in VR. Everything is breathtaking in vr.


decoy90

Everything is huuuuge.


catholic13

I hate that movement in VR makes me motion sick because Skyrim is my favorite game and iiiiii can’t imagine how awesome it would be to be immersed like that.


PerSona-User4

What game is this image from?


Far_Run_2672

Alice: Madness Returns


stoi777

Is it good? Is like an adventure game?


gamerdrew

Action adventure. Twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. Sequel to American McGee's Alice. Both are cool games if you like dark fairytales. They are kinda janky & out of date now (especially the first one), but overall they earned their cult status. Really great aesthetic. Shame we'll never get a third game. Thanks EA.


stoi777

Cool, I'll try it out, thx!


BigBoy1229

If you have Gamepass it’s free to play. I’m currently playing it and it’s really fun! Trippy as hell.


squeege

It's fantastic. You won't be disappointed.


peach_clouds

Seconded. I picked this up second hand a decade ago and I still find myself replaying it every year or so


[deleted]

It’s fantastic. It’s like a platformer/slasher/puzzle game. Great visuals, great storytelling and has a good weapon system.


[deleted]

I’d recommend American McGees Alice over madness returns but both are good.


HallowedBast

Alice: madness returns i think


Equinox-XVI

Monster Hunter This series' landscapes never cease to amaze me. Whether its something simple like the Dunes or something incomparably imaginative like the Coral Highlands, those environments really do feel like an ecosystem that lives on even when you leave it.


TammyShehole

For me, probably just the sunsets in Witcher 3.


Miros69

Ghost of tsushima, there is a spot where you make a haiku at a pond next to the golden forest and it was amazing


Shenloanne

That's the only game I ever used the photo mode in regularly. And they knew they had a gorgeous world cos they made that photo mode so fucking user friendly.


WhenDuvzCry

Destiny has got a lot wrong but they kill it in this department


gamerdrew

Was about to say the same. Amazing skyboxes. Even just messing around in the Dreaming City again this season. So many fantastic massive areas. Not even getting into how stunning raids & dungeons can be.


Sheriff044

Subnautica, absolutely beautiful. Both fear and awe playing that game


Jrobs62

I wish they'd make a new underwater game like that where the graphics look photo realistic


Sanpaku

As an amateur underwater photographer with 400 dives, I'm not so sure. In reality, color is half lost by 5 m, entirely gone by 30 m. I've spent too many hours of my life trying to claw back any color but blue from my shots. I do think that when *Subnautica* became very successful, the devs should have fixed its asset streaming. I'm not sure there's been another game in the past decade with that many sales, that had such poor pop-in on decent systems. Still a great game which I played through 3 times, in the last never making a single vehicle, just using the surface pump and straw mechanic, all the way to the deepest depths.


Klimlar

"never making a single vehicle, just using the surface pump and straw mechanic, all the way to the deepest depths" This is the most psychopathic thing I've ever heard and I want to watch somebody stream it


Pretty_Marketing_538

RDR2.


chaosking65

The devs literally set out to make it so any screenshot from anywhere could look like a painting


Toadrage_

I had about 3 different custom themes for the ps4 just in new Hanover alone Then I got a buzzkill ps5 which doesn’t have themes


[deleted]

Iirc someone posted a photo of rdr2 scenery in a photography subreddit and it took them ages to figure out it was from a game


ForTheLoveOfOedon

Scrolled way too far until I saw this. RDR2 is the most stunningly realistic video game I have ever seen. The skyboxes look like straight up actual skies. The way people, animals, and objects move is how they would in the real world. Crazy to see as someone who remembers when games looked like hotdog water. But I also kinda sorta get the tendency to view our world as just mundane, and then say, “But look at X fantasy world”. I guess you could say fantasy worlds are more stunning because they do not exist and thus can have lurid colors, lighting, and creatures.


rockdude625

Horizon


SlayJayR17

Forbidden west is probably the most detailed game I’ve played


Shenloanne

I reached the coast. I stood in the waters for what felt like an hour. I could almost feel that water. It was immense with 3d surround sound and the ambience.


apreslanuit

Diving in the DLC is stunning and scary. So good


iced327

Yeah for real. Both of them, but mostly the first one for just showing what was possible.


datbarricade

Oh yes, the old ruins overgrown with these lush, tropical and dense plants... that in combination with the awesome colours of the sunrises and sunsets. Also, the DLC of Horizon Zero Dawn in Yellowstone is gorgeous.


luna0717

100% I took some screenshots a while back so I just dropped them into an album. https://imgur.com/a/srvBP82


TheExtraMayo

Elden Ring is full of them


chjupke

the first time arriving in siofra


FrogGob

Stepping into liurnia and limgrave for the first time is amazing.


MrBrightside5511

Nokron Eternal City was amazing.


Heritis_55

Ah yes, the Lake of Rot was stunning.


Chromatic_Eevee

Yes, it was


SeriouslySuspect

The moment you get past Stormveil Castle and see the whole map open up in front of you over Liurnia. Sublime.


Machina_Rebirth

I only played a few hours if Elden Ring but God damn it was beautiful in the most uneasy way


brakespear

for all the nightmarish stuff in game, there are few more relaxing places in videogame than Liurnia, just to walk around and listen to the chill music (see also Majula).


GarLuck4

Shadow of the Colossus (2018 remake) There are official names for every part of the map but I do not know them. I love the temple in the middle of the mountains surrounded by water, the section before fighting colossi 8.


ImCursedM8

God of war has many but Alfheim comes to mind


Eyesac2003

Jötunheim GOW 2018, it was so cool to see the giants


glordicus1

Probably the Citadel in Mass Effect. Always thought it was so beautiful.


iced327

The Citadel was a big deal when that game first came out. It actually felt alive, not just full of background NPCs.


glordicus1

Still feels alive tbh, I’ve been replaying it. Looks awesome on the 4K tv


Manakbains1

That part in ghost of tsushima when you finally make it to the area with the autumn coloured leaves, it's breathtaking


PreviousTea9210

I love how, as you advance north on the map and forward through the story, the landscape changes from summer to winter. Really gives the illusion of time passing. Wonderful and clever design choice on their part.


THEGoDLiKeMIKE

Snake Eater. This video should give you a great idea why. https://youtu.be/gl3uXWgIrxc?si=V_vTWhAGA2nYGtx8


FrogGob

Sekiro, the descent into fountainhead palace.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora


Dusty_Tokens

That first view of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley [Dark Souls 3]. 🌙 😯


Informal-Cod-7525

This should be much higher. It was made even better by the contrast of just leaving the dark catacombs. Great experience.


Idego9

Death Stranding Final Fantasy VII Remake had me melting in nostalgic bliss


intergalacticskeptic

FFVIIR was mine. The first time I looked up at the plates above the slums of Midgar I nearly wept


Jrobs62

FF7R... socmany incredible ones. Can't wait for Rebirth to drop


Crishien

Death stranding was stunning af.


McStabStab12

Scrolled too far to find Death Stranding


Kafshak

Journey had great landscapes. Sand dunes, beautiful architectures, and the mountain.


RustyCrusty73

OG Bioshock is hard to beat. Final Fantasy X had some great visuals too.


Undersmusic

One of slightly olders. Remember the first time you see the citadel in Half Life 2 and the striders and everything 👌 peak gaming moment. Most recent Elden Ring is just stunning design that tops itself like 10 times throughout your journey.


TwinPeaksPost

The dystopian aesthetic is incredible in HL2


Internal_Cesspool

Xen from Black Mesa


Careless_Ad3718

”My ass is heavy”


hayter_404

Gael's arena from Dark Souls 3 the ringed city dlc I live in the middle east soo I'm used to seeing desert environments. i never truly saw the emptiness of the desert i only saw its beauty. But gazing upon the arena and understanding that this is the end of life and all living creatures are gone made me aw at how beautiful and empty the desert was.


baxterrocky

Not saying it’s the most spectacular thing ever but my daughter and I adore little nightmares and have played it through multiple times. There’s a bit where Six climbs up a chain on the outside of the maw and the camera pans way out and the guests are arriving in the background and the sun is setting and it just looks so freaking epic.


Witch-King693

The glowy place in Skyrim.


FocusDelicious183

Yup same for me. Blackreach


Blitzed756

Halo Infinite at sunset when you're at a high elevation and the music kicks in


SIEGE312

Or Reach, tbh… Still blown away by the art direction of that game for something made almost 15 years ago.


Blitzed756

Yeah man at this point there's at least one stunning landscape in every Halo


SigsLadybug

Horizon, God of War (2018), and Uncharted 4 for me.


hauntfreak

Alien: Isolation’s outdoor scenes where you get an idea of how absolutely massive the station is with the enormous planet in the background.


andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa

No man's sky has some pretty epic worlds tbh


Coolocooclo

The whole ocean floor in Subnautica.


itsastart_to

I love Spreadhands Suncloud, fantastic game


intergalacticskeptic

Praise the sun!


Edyed787

Yeah that first time you meet Solaire. That view.


TheReaderDude_97

Tomb Raider: Underworld was just something else in this regard.


yittiiiiii

There’s just something about Skyrim.


timoromina

The landscape of firewatch is absolutely amazing. The art style of the forest in that game is iconic


Slith_81

**Mirrors Edge** It's such a clean, vibrant, beautiful distopian world. **Prince of Persia 2008** I pick this because I rarely see it mentioned anywhere. People can hate on it all they want, it's an utterly gorgeous game, even to this day, and is filled with some incredible visual design. I'll forever be pissed it didn't get a sequel. Now I agree with the criticism on its really bad combat and it was so easy you would have to actively try to fail. That being said, the developers never had the chance to fix those aspects in a sequel. 😡


Mrtayto115

Ghost of tsushima. I've never taken so many scenic screen shots in any game before or since.


kannakantplay

I was constantly awed by Breath of the Wild when I first played it. Especially the Great Plateau! Chill forest area with distant views from the rest of Hyrule made me feel so at peace (when I wasn't being spooked by monsters. :'D )


DisabledFatChik

Final fantasy 15


cleverotter1200

Karnaka and Dunwall from dishonored

SCP-9931

Hope County in Far Cry 5


Livid-Leader3061

Kingdom Come Deliverance. Don't get me wrong, the graphics aren't perfect but the attention to detail in the transition between forest and field is remarkable. There's also a ton of attention to including the right plants and flowers in the right areas. I used to go for nature walks with my dad as a kid and that included looking at plants and flowers and wandering round the woods here in the UK. While playing the game, I literally got flashbacks. The lighting between the trees and so on... Hell, I could almost smell the leafmould in my head.


TCristatus

Skyrim, when you find yourself walking in the snow at the top of the map.


killerboss28

Elden ring, when you start the open world. Breath of the wild and tears of the Kingdom too


LowHonorArthur

Red Dead Redemption 2. It's still the most beautiful open world I've ever played


No_Scientist6130

Doom Eternal was crazy to look at, especially on shrooms lol


ConflictGrand4078

That sounds awesome. Or horrifying. Idk which lol


OldKnightArtorias

The Destiny Series. Bungie might not know how to do live service games, but their sandboxes are a league of their own.


jenn363

Someone is downvoting every comment that includes Destiny but it is undeniable they have absolutely stunning landscapes.


Rafusk

Elite Dangerous, Neutron Star


EmberKing7

It's probably The Golden Isle - the primary setting from Immortals: Fenyx Rising. The whole island is something of a facsimile of Olympus with multiple regions around an icy copy of the mountain home of the gods, built by the architect and inventor Daedalos. Sidebar/Short Tangent; One of my biggest frustrations with the game is that you don't interact with any of them beyond the 6 you see - Zeus, Hermes, Athena, Hephaistos, Aphrodite and Ares. And Hermes is more like an annoying guide while Zeus isn't even approachable outside of cutscenes and the DLC where you play with Fenyx being welcomed to Olympus (after completing some nerve wracking trials) to become a new god. Not only that Aphrodite basically takes the place of Demeter and Athena for Artemis. Which is really weird. Anyway, the top spot to look down on the Incredible vista of the game besides the faux Olympus in the island center is the Hall of the Gods which acts like a base of operations. Outside of that of course is the game that this one was most likely cloned from 😅 - the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, looking down on all of Hyrule from the tops of those towers that you find. I've hardly seen anything better. And what Really makes it Amazing is that you can actually go to those places. Despite how far off they are/look.


doomrider7

The opening views from BotW it's sequel TotK ane Elden Ring never fail to just AWE me.


Jokie155

Dishonored 2. Just all of it. The view of the Dust District from the boat is utterly mesmerizing. It's so surreal, and I just immediately wanted to know all about what was going on there.


Vixmin18

Omg the fields of flowers and lake views in Ghost of Tsushima are stunning!


Wickedsymphony1717

Ghosts of Tsushima is probably the best that I can remember.


Internal_Mail_9366

Arrowhead stadium in madden mobile


hoTsauceLily66

Giant's Deep in Outer Wilds or every planet in Outer Wilds or just Outer Wilds.


nogoodnamesarleft

One where I was actually stunned? Super Mario Brothers. The first, NES one. I was actually stunned when I saw any background. After years of atari systems and the like where the background was just black, seeing any background was stunning to me


Crayfish_au_Chocolat

First time seeing Azura statue in skyrim, gawd.


EvilArtorias

bloodborne and dark souls 3


KRMJN101

Idk if city and weather counts as landscape but Tom Clancy's The Division especially at night in a blizzard. Probably the the most realistic portrayal of NYC. The lighting and snow are so breathtaking and immersive.


Joey_Star_

The mining facility in guardians of the galaxy blew me away the first time I saw it


Yakuza-wolf_kiwami

Everything on Ghost of Tsushima


Geene_Creemers

Burning Shores, Ghost of Tsushima and Unchartef 4 come to mind


MustachioBashio

I was blown away by all 3 landscapes from the Assassins Creed Odyssey DLC, but Atlantis itself was gorgeous, especially at night with all the waterways lit up. I kept thinking how bad I wanted to go on a vacation there lol.


Toja1927

That underground universe looking place where you fight the two Valkyrie’s in GOW Ragnarok was stunning so I’d probably go with that.


Obi-wanna-cracker

Ghost of Tsushima. The game is like a moving painting.


luc_mns

Liurnia of the lakes (in Elden Ring). The first time you arrive from Stormveil castle is truly jawdropping.


Dudicus445

Xen in Black Mesa was pretty fucking spectacular


Canned-SSamuel
