Did you ever think to yourself, "Mass Effect is a cool game but man, I wish I could make it look more like someone's filming a TV screen on a low-quality cellphone camera"? Well, good news because now you can!

Did someone get nostalgic for the eye-searing cyan-magenta-yellow palette of really early computer games? That's really the only way I can think of that you would think that this isn't painful to look at.

Also, you know it's a good graphical mod when you can only see the decolletage and face!


Fake edit:
This guy didn't play as FemShep, so his opinions about Mass Effect are objectively wrong.

There was a loving derail about the best way to make games look like they did on CRTs in the obsolete tech thread; this led to a slap fight over whether game developers of the eighties and nineties used high quality broadcast monitors or consumer TVs, with no one considering that there was no standard.

Obviously, they should just be doing everything in monochrome with Hercules amber. And then they can have a holy war with the people who think the one true terminal color was the Apple IIe green!

Seriously, though, there were no standards. Even if you agreed to use standard tech, they weren't calibrated and then left alone. Did these guys forget that many of those CRTs had analog knobs to control various aspects of the electron gun that you aimed at your face?

Edit: Ignore me, I shouldn't try to extend a derail into an even less relevant thread.

Well the main thing is a lot of those CRT filter mods you have around out there are terrible stuff, made by people who apparently think CRT = 1965 color TV that's about to catch fire, is violently flickering, 1/3 of the total screen is taken up by "scanlines" and which bulges 2 feet out in the center of the screen.

Last time I tried the skeleton mod, there wasn't a proper death animation so your character would bolt into a T-pose.

It was my favourite because it looked like they should have a monocle popping out and should be shouting "Well I NEVER! What absolute twaddle!"

More to that Gategate thing:

Arthmoor was one of the modders granted early access to Skyrim Special Edition, and as such, ported over the Open Cities mod with the Oblivion Gates intact.

Is that true? Where are they, I haven't seen them. He definitely has a standalone mod to add the gates, so I thought he'd taken them out of open cities...

He also absolutely hated Hohmann Transfer Orbits for some reason, (For those that don't know, Hohmann Transfer Orbits are one the most efficient methods of traveling between bodies, and KSP values efficiency) so he nerfed Solar Power into oblivion and made all of the batteries ridiculously heavy to try and force you into making inefficient direct transfers instead.

Scott Manley did a video on it in case you want a taste of the madness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ1HCK_beIg

I shouldn't be surprised that a modder decided he hates an actual true thing about orbital mechanics but well, here we are

It's even more annoying when you know what ENB-type mods can actually do in games like GTA IV and Skyrim. The GTA modding community in particular seems to have a collective raging hardon for realistic graphics, and they're doing some pretty neat stuff with it. I think it makes the already quite good textures in GTA IV look amazing.

Yeah, I probably started that derail, or kept it going at least.

People just have a tendency to overdo everything, simply because they can and because they think more is always better. With some restraint, a decent filter will take the edge off the sharp-edged oversized pixels on a modern high-resolution and make the overall picture more pleasant to look at.

Since I got my hands on a high-quality TV and SCART RGB cables for my consoles, I have to say that I've never seen a picture that sharp and well-defined on a CRT TV before. I should have upgraded from composite video ages ago. Old 3D games still look like rear end because of the low resolution and crappy textures (I'm on a GTA binge right now), but 2D games look ridiculously good. I definitely had my filter for playing on my PC monitor set way too soft compared to what a good TV can do with the best available connection methods.

That song just doesn't have the same feel to it in Skyrim because you can't grapple on to dragons and be flown into the sky only to stab them again and fall down to earth on them.
