Upscaling is great for older games that don’t support modern resolutions. I’m not really a fan of using it in modern games because of the blurryness you mentioned.
Regarding frame gen… Optimise your damn games! Game optimisation is becoming a lost art and now people think they should spend thousands on new hardware too keep up :(
A revenge story set in 1980s Japan. Shenmue was excellent but Shenmue II is just another level in every way. For me it is the perfect combination of story, open world (which I don’t normally like nowadays) and fighting game. It’s quite a mixture of different genres but it works so well.
I haven’t bothered with mods for years now but Neotokyo was by far my favourite. Apparently it’s still played to this day by a group of fans but I haven’t joined in. Also the soundtrack is amazing
Some of the campaign missions are really good with a nice variety too. I’ve been re-playing some on the hardest difficulty and it’s a real time hog but good fun to spend 2 hours on a mission!
