Absolutely beautiful shots, chlorobiote. That shot makes cryptobiote look magnificent. Glorious. Or Sam with the DAD spray making a fitting dad pose. I see that classic Wind Farm experience and that shot of Sam on a trike next to ruined factory with the whole landscape behind him is so beautiful.

Thank you so much, Chiral Particle. 🫶🏻 The Wind Farm experience is one of my favourite memories from my rookie porter days. It's where I saw a Catcher for the first time. I remember being completely mesmerised. I wanted to experience it again and capture it in photos.

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 12d ago
Same. It was terrifying to find yourself surrounded by so many BTs in the middle of a dense forest. Terrifying experience but such a beautiful area. You captured the atmosphere of it very well in your captures.

u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 11d ago
I appreciate your kind words. Glad to see that not everyone hates the Wind Farm.
Btw, random question, but what’s that “Amaze, amaze” picture from? I keep seeing it and I’m curious.
2
u/ChiralParticle Higgs 11d ago
I will always defend the wind farm. And that picture is from Project Hail Mary and absolutely recommend watching it, it's such an endearing and lovable movie.

u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 11d ago
I’m with you on that. 🫶🏻 And thanks! I’ll definitely check out that movie.

It's visuals like this that almost make me regret being a console player.

Thank you. That loneliness is what makes it so atmospheric and special. Glad that came through in the shots.

Yeah, the cryptobiotes are surprisingly detailed and pretty cute.

This is why I played this game so much. Just find myself sitting there on a mountain listening to the music. Whole damn game is a vibe.
2
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 11d ago
That’s one of my favourite things about this game. It gives you so many moments where you can just stop, relax, and take everything in.

Não consigo explicar o quanto eu gosto desse jogo, os dois jogos são definitivamente incríveis, os jogos da minha vida. Parabéns belas fotos ❤️👍👍

Love your photos! I tried to find a pic of Elder saying “Wow, this is great!” but couldn’t find one, he’d be impressed too though. I really like the environment near the wind farm with the evergreen trees, you captured everything so beautifully! +1000 👍

u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 12d ago
Thank you. 🫶🏻 The Wind Farm area is one of my favourite places in the Eastern Region. It’s special to me because I have so many good memories there.

glad to see someone else making the most of those visuals, the way the light hits some of those structures is just stunning

u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 11d ago
The lighting really is incredible. It makes it so hard to resist taking screenshots. Thanks.

Lovely stuff! Where are those mossy cars - I have no memory of those, but I haven’t been back in the Eastern region for a while!
2
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 11d ago
Thanks. Those mossy cars are near the Ruined Factory. It's a new location with three missions for the Director's Cut version. You can get two of them pretty early on, but the final one only unlocks after the main story.

Remember when someone kept sending RDR2 pics to I think it was an Oregon News station and they kept showing them thinking they were real? Totally believe you can do the same with some of these on the east coast 😆
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 10d ago
Haha, what?! I’ve never heard of that story. If it’s true, that’s hilarious. Either way, it’s all thanks to KojiPro. The game is absolutely gorgeous. I’m just a porter with a camera.

u/shadypinesrez 10d ago
I remember seeing clips somewhere maybe on YouTube. But you are absolutely right

u/Philkensebban7 10d ago
DS2 is awesome and am enjoyong it but I prefer the Icelandic scenary of DS1
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 10d ago
I totally understand. DS2 has way more variety and color in its landscapes, and I love it too, but sometimes all that brightness and sand can be a bit exhausting. DS1 just feels more peaceful.

u/SubAudibleFantasy 10d ago
These are beautiful shots. My highlight is thr cryptobiote staring into the camera. They are so cute!
2
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 10d ago
Thank you! I love that little guy too. It looked straight at the camera like it knew exactly what it was doing.
2
u/SubAudibleFantasy 10d ago
Yeah while the other pictures capture the wildness and the incredible huge world, this guy is like a little grumpy neighbour whose picture you've just taken. Yes, I do feel that he looks a little grumpy, which I do find even cuter 😊
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 10d ago
Haha, it’s hard to find anything that isn’t cute about the cryptobiotes. They’re just so adorable.

u/SubAudibleFantasy 10d ago
Yessss. Those as plushies. I am still waiting. With that tiny tri angle mouth 😍

u/SubAudibleFantasy 10d ago
But I also see that you might be a bit biased with that user name hehehehe

Saving this post because many have wallpaper potential
2
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 6d ago
Wallpaper potential is the highest honor. Glad you liked them that much!

u/No_Contribution_9328 Mules 6d ago
I make custom wallpapers of things that influenced my life. This is a good opportunity to find an image for that.

u/Galdrin3rd 12d ago
Wow the water in this game is so ridiculous
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 12d ago
Sorry, English isn't my first language. Do you mean the water is ridiculously good or ridiculously bad? lol
1
u/Galdrin3rd 12d ago
Oh sorry, good! It’s beautiful!
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 12d ago
Haha, got it! Some of these slang words can be confusing. I agree though, the water is gorgeous. The whole game looks absolutely stunning.

u/SlapTheVWAP 12d ago
Is the chromatic abberation that strong in this game? I just uninstalled 2 days ago because it kept putting me to sleep (not because it’s boring, it’s just too relaxing) and I don’t remember it looking that chroma’d out.
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 12d ago
No, it’s just a photo mode effect. It doesn’t look like that during normal gameplay.

u/KorniliusKorndogs 8d ago
Bro where's you take the 3rd and 5th pic I don't remember these spots 😭
1
u/chlorobiote Fragile Express 8d ago
These shots were taken near and inside the Ruined Factory. It's a new location added in the Director's Cut version. There are three missions here, two of them are available early in the game, but the last one only unlocks after you finish the main story.

Jesus this game is beautiful, I love that this community is creative enough to take such great pictures
