Leave My Eyes Alone 6! Horrible Video Game Graphics!

[@Shyguymask]

I actually thought I was the only one that often put the brightness higher than recommended

[@cameony]

I definitely do it too. I prefer to be able to see my games, thanks

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

horror games indeed. and I just bought second hand hdr monitor to enhance my unfinished games experience. hdr slider and indeed in its name high dynamic range did perform a lot better than sdr or bt.709 tv stuff, but hdr suffers from the shitty yellow effect when you are running on desktop just like gtaiv original (I love colder colors peqrsonally). Most game and online streamed films with fine tuned hdr did get an obvious enhancement on the color yellow (sun ray for example) or green (foliage), but White and Black depends, mostly it would get a more balanced and realistic effect when it was fine tuned. Guess I will get another better hdr400 monitor later for better high nits support instead of a entry level hdr10 one, I will keep the hdr10 because it's time to use a backup 16:9, maybe my little desk can't handle a bigger 21:9 monitor

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

also esports games are painful when you can't see enemies in the dark. that's unfair, it is not foliage or something that hides enemies and you would suspect you had skill issues or just headphones not working well. what's more annoying is that to go over this, you had to tune up digital brightness in gpu control panel, turn of ambient occlusion in game, also most importantly and unbearable one, get a better monitor which supports the function of shadow enhancement and dark scenes plus (I made a random name 💀)but once you get it you know what I mean and what these options do. Usually they can't be used with hdr so money is inevitably wasted

Stunt Race has those borders because the hardware wasn’t very powerful, and without them the frame rate would be even worse. And Doom on the SNES does run and look better than that, but it doesn’t work properly in emulators and has a lot of visual artefacts.

[@Aquasition1]

Yeah, most emulators have difficulty with the SNES port of doom, it should not have those coloured spots, and it should run slightly faster. Try the most recent versions, and see if it's any different. That being said, it's not the only Doom port with graphics troubles, the 3DO version comes to mind, with it either having even worse framerate, or Squint-O-Vision depending on how you set up the screen size. And as long as I've got Doom on my mind, I'm fairly certain the 32X port of Doom probably qualifies for "Don't Leave My Ears Alone", they absolutely butchered the music in that port.

[@Hektols]

Yes, we have to remember that in the mid 90's most families didn't have a PC and even the cheapest ones were quite expensive, the market was not as varied as it is today. If you wanted to play Doom without owning a PC the SNES port was the cheapest option.

OMG, that final game was a torture! However, I played Stunt Race FX a lot last year and enjoyed it.

[@jayceofspades7195]

5:18 The Lich Yard in Shovel Knight employs a similar gimmick here, and to this day, I still can't play that level.

[@loubob69]

a more recent example of eye liquifying i've found was in Everhood. early in the game, and at the end of its demo, you fight a bunch of gnomes that decide they can take this battle to real life, because the first thing i said a little bit into the fight was "ow". the visuals there are genuinely just *terrible* to look at, to the point where the devs had to patch in a hand-crafted photosensitivity option so their game wouldn't cause headaches and seizures. it's only made worse when you find out that the devs put the gnome fight through a epilepsy test and were """surprised""" that it registered as eye-gougingly bad. how in the world are you *surprised* all that wasn't safe basically, don't play Everhood without the photosensitivity option on, because the gnomes weren't the only battle that raised these concerns

[@speedslider3913]

The devs were likely trying to capture reality bending and to add more challenge and distraction to the fight, which is understandable, plus people without epilepsy sometimes don't notice or think about if something will cause it, which sucks but is a fact for many things. They still should've included a photosensitivity option from the start, though, since it is still pretty heavy on the eyes, which is extremely obvious to anybody who's anybody.

[@MuffinMansBro]

Holy hell Mo Hawk & Headphone Jack looks like what I imagine my mom sees Sonic games like.

[@lathanfitzpatrick3531]

I believe the reason why they did the flashing thing was to emulate an explosion since games started in the 1970s they possibly tried to replicate it and of course it failed

That's Ultra Magnus and the reason he is so weak was because in that time they made games harder to make them last longer.

In Doom 64, what causes the eye-searing lighting is turning the "Enviromental Brightness" setting to the max. You can have the regular brightness higher, but turn the enviromental down, and it'll look fine.

[@speedslider3913]

In Smash, if they had a customizable outline/border option for fighters and their assets like in For 3DS, I think your problems would be fixed. At least you have that P1 marker, and most competitive matches are more zoomed in and clear anyways.

“The only time you can see the ground is when lightning flashes in the background.” Realism, doesn’t always equal fun. The only time I enjoyed a lightning to see gimmick is in FNAW2, where it flashed every 15 seconds and it was a flash that slowly faded away.

3:43 reminds me of an old arcade game...i forget the name, but it was VERY similar to "UN squadron". the FIRST boss has a tail-gun that shoots small projectiles that move at the EXACT same speed as the scrolling background, making them almost impossible to see! now THAT'S a dirty trick!

10:10 There's a level in Alien Soldier that, in my opinion, pulls this off way better. The spaceship you're in is very dark, almost pitch-black at times, but firing your weapons has them light the way. Also, the level itself isn't too difficult, even with the darkness, until you get to the boss, a ball with an arm it uses like a Grappling hook, and an eye that shoots lasers if I remember correctly. Edit: It wasn't lasers, but a pattern of three bullets Also, the boss's attacks provide light, too, particularly the one where it grapples the other side of the screen.

[@AdamTheGameBoy]

New Pork City, Shadow Moses, Final Destination, Kongo Jungle, Brinstar (depths), Fourside, Balloon Fight, Castlevania. However, it is kind of inevitable certain stages won't go with certain alts. White alts won't be good on pictochat, Magicant is not ideal for Jiggly and then we have Mementos which randomly chooses one of 3 colors before each match (unless you turn off all the music from 2 of the Persona games). Mementos has a chance to be a disadvantageous stage for red alts, or for yellow characters like the 'chus and Pac-Man, or for blue characters like default Mega Man or Sonic and Greninja.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

I played Star Fox 64 (aka LylatWars) before I played the original Star Fox. I found the choppiness of the original to make that game difficult to play, as I was spoiled by the much smoother graphics and animation of the 64-bit sequel. I still was able to beat the SNES Star Fox... but it wasn't easy! As for Stunt Race FX, I played that game a lot in middle school and it was one of my favourite racing games. The choppiness didn't bother me there, because it was all I knew. Years later, SRFX has definitely not aged well in the graphics department. But it had great music! I loved the Night Owl theme in particular. Super Mario Kart-- which came out two years earlier-- was much smoother visually, and made very good use of its Mode 7 graphics, while Stunt Race FX tried real 3D polygon based graphics before technology really advanced well enough to make that graphical style really look good.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

It says something that even this video strains my eyes, with the last two examples being especially bad. While Demon Sword on the NES was one of my favorites growing up, its title screen is a double combo for Leave My Ears/Eyes alone with its grating song and lightning. Luckily you can skip it by pressing start, though some of the early stage backgrounds can be nasty too. Come to think of it you could likely do an entire LMEA focused on lightning.

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

11:59 fov is a painful thing to do. I've experienced a 32:9 monitor at a gameshow but it still can't handle high fov very well. The screen stretched too much and made the corners hard to see clearly. It could easily tear your eyes up and made you feel tired. And there's many fov calculators out there but i still can't figure out which occasion is the horizontal fov and which is vertical. Too much to learn and distinguish basically, if there is value you could follow it with your aspect ratio, if it is just a slider, good luck finding your unnumbered one. well it is a combination of both monitor and software algorithm 2:01 fyi this is a 1986 game actually. Don't know why publisher chose to localize it sooooo late into 1988 or 1989 or some time, just like Hydillide (i mispelled i seriously can't remember this game name, which released in 1984 in Japan and 1988 in Usa. it was mentioned by avgn, and he "diarrhea"ed the spit out of it). So it being shitty and creative and outdated at the same time, is actually forgiveable. Hell i don't even think Zelda, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest 1 is revolutionary nough, so i would literally skip this nes knight game. My standard is up to high because things like smb1 and contra, gradius existed 6:56 oh hell this is so untouchable. I actually emulated this shit on emulator with it overclocked. Some guy did add some overclocked physical chipset into stunt race fx and it is hard to do. The chipset ain't very stable most of the time but obviously seeing it getting a 5 fps improvement to make it 20fps-ish is kind of an achievement, but modification ends here, this game can never readh 30fps on official hardware and modified cart hardware😅 for me 30-40fps with ray tracing nowadays are playable, even with some dlss fg gimmicks which 30 percent to 40 percent of a chance it might help plenty to make it not feeling like a 24fps. But snes 3d games, wow, homies, 15 fps average, such headache shit, even monitors with variable refresh rate could only handle 30 fps at minimum to provide a smoother low fps experience with no vsync tearing issues and heavy delay, but man, snes is beyond the normal thing and even advanced tech today to save. Actually i can imagine this shit painful to play on an already obscure crt monitor with high refresh rate but serious ghosting. Ppl are not to meant to play counter strike 120 fps but at least they could try 75fps, but not 15fps! 9:17 bro just ignored Jaguar version 💀 no music 10:00 maybe this one ability means nightvision and invulnerability how nice
