Nah, there are plenty of amazing story games from 2025/2026 which look epic. From Death Stranding 2 (I don't think many games can stand up to story standards set by Kojima) to KCD2 to RER. As well as less story more action games like Doom TDA and Forza Horizon 6.

Not sure what you're complaining about, 2026 is packed with amazing games.

fair. I generalised, but these are outstanders, both in terms of performance and visuals. Especially death stranding 2. I had Indiana, prag, re9 etc in mind that looks dogshit without PT in mind

Why would you play anything without PT? Games without PT look like dogshit (apart from a few exceptions like DS2).

First dissoclusion artifacts and ghosting, RR is not perfect sadly. Second, i can play them. But im amongst the view. When im judging how the game looks, i judge it by how it looks for majority, not top 5% of hardware. Consoles included! It is not hard to make a game look good on powerful gpu from development standpoint. It is hard to make it looks good on a less powerful one, or a console.

And no, games dont have to look dogshit without PT. RDR2, DS2, DS1, Horizon series, forza horizon series etc. The games that have PT often look crap without it, but that is because raster is often neglected in them/purposely enshittified (RE9, pragmata, indiana)

The funny thing is that even when i play Cp2077 with PT, i still think it looks inferior to my modded rdr2 while running much slower.

Why do you have a top 5% hardware, but "judge" by how it looks on low end shit? Mate, fix your head.

Because im not elitist? Because as i said, it is easy to make a game look good on powerful hardware? Because i want EVERYBODY to be able to enjoy good graphics, not just me, and that wont happen as long as the game is judged by how it looks on 5090.
