Well I feel like a real idiot right now, I've played stalker anomaly for a long time now. And because I like a stutter free, high refresh rate experience. I hadn't used the graphics upgrade mod. Well my dumb ass didn't fully read through the description, and it turns out it actually increases your performance..

Sure enough I booted up stalker anomaly with the screen space shaders mod, and the game runs a little better than it did. and looks like an AAA game from 2018.

I dunno if any of you play stalker anomaly, but don't skip over this mod.

don't worry about it, turning off chromatic abberation, depth of field, motion blur, and lens flare is always the first thing I do when I boot up a game

I too despise the obsession with making videogames look like they were filmed for some inexplicable reason lol.

I don't understand it either, when I'm playing a video game (except for certain games that are very stylized) I want it to feel like I'm looking through my character's eyes rather than a camera lens. Maybe it's because they think that's what people want when they watch a trailer?
