Man the textures in this game leave something to be desired...Star Wars Battlefront II @2160p
While we're at this disscusion I'll give my 2 cents too.
I think HUD shots are fine as long as the game doesn't have a option to turn them off or is it a total pain to do so like the Darksiders games.
However I'm against the low effort shots like the Shadow of War mentioned above. There shoud be a rule that prohibits dumping random screenshots with no effort to them whatsoever.
Anyhow here's Batman AO. Some of my older shots.

4K (with Mods, because shitty port) - No Photo Mode/Camera Tools - Cropped (No way to remove HUD) - ReShade
Can I post these? jk :P
I do some of the stuff that people don't like (cropping, cutscenes, reshade, etc...) , so I'll stay out of the discussion :)

That's too simple: just scroll past it (besides scrolling in the hokey interface on this forum is already a pain ;)). You can also say: if you want to see just gameplay shots, open a thread where shots are posted from people who are too lazy, just low effort gameplay cruft and be done with it. No rules, no whining about compression, AA and other crap, no debates about HUDs in the way of the gameplay, no souped up bullshots with SRWE and reshade, just the hardcore plain framebuffer.jpg.
Everyone knows this thread is known for the list of shots which look awesome, which make people say "whoa!". You and others make it look like it's simply a thread where you can post whatever is copied when you pressed F12.
What annoys me is that apparently we, the people who do care about putting effort in a shot, have to accept any low effort crap that's posted in this thread (of course, no compression! that's evil. Full hud crap: no problem!), even though we all know this thread isn't known for those shots, but for the shots which take serious effort.
The intend of that rule is very clear: to avoid debates like this. It was added to the rules at GAF after yet another debate about hud and low effort shitshots (I recall someone posted a shot from outrun. Funny how the crappiest shots are always posted by people who post just one shot and never return. If only there was a name for behavior like that... )
This thread is here because of the effort a lot of people put into posting high quality shots. I admire others coming in and give it a try, by all means do continue. But at least make an effort. I prefer having shots from people who try at least than people who are simply too lazy or don't give a crap about what others think.
Not really. They more look out of place or aren't appreciated as much as most shots are crap. And not 'crap' as in: 'gee, Jake, you really tried, but it still looks like a turd', but crap as in low-effort 'mhahaha let's troll those losers in the pc thread'-crap. If you put in effort, if you tried, just post it, we've all been there, we've all been beginners.

How do you define effort? Some people spend several hours making just one screenshot - ok, that's effort. I personally make screenshots when I play and if removing HUD is anything more complex than pushing a button or typing a console var - I won't bother. I wouldn't use CE when I play either since this can in fact lead to game breaking bugs and crashes. So I rarely spend more than several minutes on a screenshot - is that effort? There are even more nuances when you play from a gamepad - it's usually impossible to use any non-standard no-HUDs in such environment without running up to the keyboard which may be in a different room for all we know.
In all honesty, if you don't like some screenshot - just fucking scroll past it with your mouse and look at you cropped portraits below (which I personally hate since I don't even consider them "screenshots" and I need to open them in separate tabs to properly see them but I don't say anything on this since, well, I have a scroll wheel which works).

USER WARNED FOR: Topic derailment / Insulting other users
Wow.
K I'm only gonna post games older than 2005 now, thanks.
What obnoxious elitist windbaggery. It says nothing of the sort in the rules at the top.
And this is on the first page, this is exactly what I'd post in this thread.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Not only are these games "Old As Shit, OAS (tm)", but they both contain HUD. Where are your complaints there? I am fine seeing such beautiful games.
If you have such a problem use your mouse and scroll down, that's what the scroll option is for.
And no, I don't have time to figure out how to take the HUD off my screenshots, and frankly I don't care. I prefer gameplay shots because I like to see what I actually see when I play the game.
Will continue to post old games with HUD, k thanks bye.
Nowhere in the rules does it say you can't take a screenshot with a HUD
Limits: 2 screenshots per post. If you have more than 2, make more posts or use thumbnails.
Spamming: No more than 3 consecutive posts of the same game. Link to an album of your collection.
Naming: Always include the name of the game with the screenshots. Not everyone is a game encyclopedia.
Compression: Don't compress your screens or use a host that compresses them (Steam, Imgur).
Emulators: Emulator screens are fine. However, you should list the emulator used.
Stretching: Do not post stretched screenshots. Do not take 2.35 screens unless you know what you are doing.
Spoilers: Please do not post major plot points from games released in the last 2 months.
Thinking: Think before you post. Is the screenshot worth posting? Does anyone care about some ugly texture you found? No.
I selected my pictures, but I sure as hell don't have time to figure out how to take out the HUD out of ever one of my games and I ain't gonna waste time on that shit.

This is madness! We all have a chance to start something special here, hence the name. Reset your old habits, and put some effort in taking these screenshots. Almost every new game either has a photo-mode built in, or Otis and few others have one made for the game! Now, if he or Jim, Hatti can spend multiple hours/days to make camera tools and some people don't even bother using it....then that's bunch of BS if you ask me.
Booting up the game and loading into it and pressing the screenshot key then proceeding to post them here isn't effort. That takes less then 30 seconds.
Specially when most of the games today come with Nvidia Ansel or with a integrated photomode like Shadow of War. There's no excuse. Like I said I don't mind screenshots with HUD myself but atleast make your game look presentable.
It's easy, it's free and it's not complicated at all.
I'm sorry I'm a doctor and don't have as much time on my hands working 80+ hours a week. But good for you you can take this time to complain about some screenshots and how they aren't special enough for your special screenshot thread. Fantastic bro.
How about starting something special like "live and let live" and "don't be elitist." I'd rather start there. If it's such a big deal use the ignore button and let other people have their fun.
I dunno, it took me a week to play through Wolf3D again. I'd call this an effort even though I gave up in SoD and activated God Mode.
Point is - you don't know what is effort for others so you really can't say which of the screenshots posted here required some effort or not. Just scroll past those which you don't like.
And to give you an example - your screenshots from this page are both ugly and from OAS™ game IMO. But I don't mind, feel free to post more of them, I'll just scroll down.
Is it?
Ok, so how do these shots match this rule then:
* Thinking: Think before you post. Is the screenshot worth posting? Does anyone care about some ugly texture you found? No.
And don't play dumb, you were there too when that rule was added at GAF.
Hmm, but you do expect people to spend their time on looking at them? OK...
Oh dear... the "I'm actually special and therefore deserve privileges" rebuttal. You apparently find it OK to post whatever you want to post, if someone complaints it's their elitist problem as you don't have time and what an obnoxious assholes to complain about the stuff you could create with the little time you had!
But hey wait a minute... you said in another post you were actually too lazy to make an effort. It wasn't about time constraints, you just couldn't be bothered. Sorry, parsnip would not be proud, but I can't resist putting logic into that and conclude they can't be true at the same time.
ps: the "I'm special and deserve privileges" rebuttal only works if others in this thread actually don't fit the profile you describe yourself with. I know for a fact there are people here who work perhaps even more hours than you state you do and do create beautiful shots and yes with a lot of effort.
Injustice™ 2 Online Beta (4K)
Is this WWE Catwoman or something ? They struggled with character models, again.
I'm fine with all types of screenshots. But removing the HUD or using a photo mode isn't exactly misrepresenting the game. I'd just consider it a way of maximizing your ability to show off what the game looks like. But yeah, I still don't think there should be a "no HUD" rule. This is a screenshot thread on a (mostly) public forum with ~30,000 members after all. There is an emphasis on quality (that's what the rules are for) but I don't think this thread should just be a collection of a few people's Flickr accounts. If that's all it is then I'll just back out. I'm already on Flickr and following who I want to follow.
Cool.
They were made in 2013 when I started getting into screenshotting. None my screenshots in this thread are new.
Still I managed to put a little bit of effort in them even without photomode or ansel. Anyhow here's MW2 LE edition!
I personally prefer to see what people can come up with, using mods, shaders, tools, Photo Modes, etc... I like to see talent and creativity.
That said, I'm fine with all types of shots being posted on here. I just ignore the stuff that I don't like. People are free to do the same if they don't like what I put out.
Assassin's Creed Origins

As far as I recall, the High-Res PC screenshot thread has always welcomed gameplay shots with or without huds and was in fact originally against artistic shots back in 2011. That rule was removed in 2012, but I figured some of you might want to know that little piece of thread history.
This is a good way to put it.
Boy am I glad Dice scrapped the god-awful chromatic aberration from BFII, game looks amazing now.

Assassin's Creed Origins I Photomode merged with Otis tools I ReShade.
The lod in this game is so weird, it looks great at times, then all of a sudden you notice the horrid low res textures reminiscent of No Man's Sky.
Decent looking game i guess, just one of the most boring games i've played all year.

Yeah, the region of Green Mountains seems to have more LOD issues and blurry textures.
FYI, you broke that rule, at least. So do be considerate of what you post.
It would be impossible to enforce because it's subjective. That said I think the "think before you post" rule does cover it somewhat.
Bioshock Infinite
beautiful shots! i wish NMS was from a genre i liked more, because it seems like a delight to screenshot.No man's sky/Reshade/Mods

I like the cinematic feeling in your shots and ReShade, keep them up :)I personally prefer to see what people can come up with, using mods, shaders, tools, Photo Modes, etc... I like to see talent and creativity.

User was suspended (3 days): ignoring moderation warnings, continues to pick fights and post insults
I posted 2 screenshots per post as per the guidelines. I only happened to put an extra or 2 posts in a row because it was the first time I posted screenshots in a while. That wasn't trying to be inconsiderate. I was just having fun.
Apparently some people are against fun and don't like people having fun in a way that is not fun to them though.
Your complaint is just you don't like screenshots with HUDs. Don't dance around and claim it is anything beyond that. How obnoxious.
And no I don't have a special amount of time to take special screenshots in the special way you demand I have to take screenshots. I'm not going to justify it any more than I already did. None of the rules say I have to take off the HUD, use Reshade, or do any other fuckwittery to my screenshots to be able to post in here.
I actually don't like these camera manipulation non-screenshot type shots but I don't be a dick about it and tell people not to post them.
There is no requirement that I have to spend hours taking a screenshot to be "eligible" to post a picture in here. How ridiculous.
You could easily, easily just scroll past screenshots you don't like and just let others post whatever they want. Clearly I am not the only one with this opinion.
Pure elitist windbaggery. Not all of us like Reshade, HUD-less, camera manipulated shots. I don't. So I don't make them. That doesn't make my screenshots "low effort". Subjective AF. Which just means I'm going to keep posting my completely guideline conforming screenshots until you guys get over yourselves and your elitism :)
